Colossians 2:16-23 - Do Not Be Judged By Human Religious Rules
16 Do not, then, allow any one to take you to task on questions of eating or drinking, or in the matter of annual or monthly or weekly festivals. 17 These things are only the shadow of what is to come; the substance is in the Christ. 18 Do not let any one defraud you of the reality by affecting delight in so-called 'humility' and angel-worship. Such a man busies himself with his visions, and without reason is rendered conceited by his merely human intellect. 19 He fails to maintain union with the Head, to whom it is due that the whole body, nourished and knit together by the contact and Keynesian of every part, grows with a divine growth.
20 Since, with Christ, you became dead to the puerile teaching of this world, why do you submit, as though your life were still that of the world, 21 To such ordinances as 'Do not handle, or taste, or touch'? 22 For all the things referred to in them cease to exist when used. You are following mere human directions and instructions. 23 Such prohibitions appear reasonable where there is a desire for self-imposed service, and so-called 'humility,' and harsh treatment of the body, but are of no real value against the indulgence of our earthly nature.
