Colossians 2, the "nailed it to his cross", what was "it"?

1 Cor 6 does not bother me - (as we both know ) -- it simply proves that the wild speculation some folks offer in Col 2 does not stand up to a close review of scripture. It shows that the moral law of God STILL remains.

So also does Eph 6:2
So also does James 2j

So also does the "Baptist Confession of Faith" section 19 admit to this obvious Bible detail.

 

Matt 18 and 1 Cor 6 address that point.

Matt 18 with "I forgave you all that debt..."

And 1 Cor 6 making the claim that they had been washed and cleansed by the Holy Spirit.

---
and then BOTH examples showing how they would lose salvation if not careful.

 

The whole of the Bible should bother you, but let that pass.
Of course the moral law of God still remains (1 Corinthians 9:21), but as the 1689 Confession (Art. XIX:6) makes plain it no longer condemns the Christian (Romans 6:14) who has passed from death to life. It is his delight to keep it (Psalm 40:8); indeed, it is written on his heart (Hebrews 8:10).

Now then, why are you so desperate to discuss anything except Colossians 2?

 

this clarification that God's Ten Commandments remain - as the moral law of God written on the heart under the NEW covenant (All TEN) is key to understanding Col 2.

Col 2 is not about deleting scripture - it is about condemning the traditions and commandments of men.

It is not the moral law of God that is deleted at the cross - it is our debt of sin that is being paid -- the "certificate of debt".

And what is being condemned in Col 2 - is "man made tradition" and "making stuff up".

Col 2
4 I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.
...
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
...
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.
...
20 Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

NASB
18 Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.

20 If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, 21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!” 22 (which all refer to things destined to perish with use)—in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men? 23 These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

 

Exactly so. The moral law stands against the unsaved sinner to condemn him and to drive him to Christ (Galatians 3:24). We cannot keep it in our own strength. Read Matthew 5:;22 and Matthew 5:28. But when we turn to Christ, we find that ALL or sins are forgiven. 'Let it be known to you, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses' (Acts 13:38-39). So when david had committed sins (adultery and murder) for which the Mosaic law prescribed only death, he could, as an O.T. believer in the Messiah, by-pass the Levitical priesthood, go straight to God, confess his sins and obtain forgiveness (Psalm 51). And so can we. Therefore the law, instead of standing over us, cane in hand, ready to condemn us, becomes our friend and our guide (Psalm 119:111-112, 127 etc.), leading us into the paths of righteousness, and we say, 'I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart' (Psalm 40:8).

'There is now therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit' (Romans 8:1).

 

How can God ever re condeme whom Jesus died in place of, for God sees us in Christ as Keeping his Law perfectly, just as Jesus did, so to have any Christian lose salvation, God would have to disown Jesus!

 

Are we under the old or the new covenant?

 

The are the moral code of God, but we are not saved by keeping them! If you keep 9 of them, but fail to keep 1, you failed!

 

Since the 10 commandments are so important why do you say it is ok to KILL?

SDA CHURCH and HOSPITAL continue to do abortions.

The official stance of the church is ABORTIONS ARE ALLOWED.

Here is the official website of SDA this is not some hate group, this is their official website with the church manual rules and guidelines.

https://www.adventist.org/en/information/official-statements/guidelines/article/go/-/abortion/


What is worst ? Worshiping God on the wrong day or killing innocent human beings for profit?

 

Will all who have been born again here be forever saved?

 

Do the children who SDA CHURCH kills in ABORTION go to heaven?

 

OK. Salvation by works then. 'Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?' (Galatians 3:3).

 

Will rejecting the Sabbath cause me to lose salvation, or seeing Ellen White as a False prophetess?
