Let no man beguile you

[complete]

'Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink,
or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Let no man beguile you of your reward
in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels,
intruding into those things which he hath not seen,
vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

And not holding the Head,
from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered,
and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world,
why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
( Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using )
after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom
in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body;
not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.'
(Col 2:16-23)

* Hello there, I quote this passage of Scripture from Colossians, and have divided it: for there are several subjects within it worthy of discussion; but will leave it open to anyone who would like to contribute something in regard to either section, or all, as they feel led; in the light of the subject heading:- 'Let no man beguile you ... '

Thank you
In Christ Jesus
Chris

Greetings,

this reminds me of Galatians chapter three.
you might find it interesting to read alongside?

Also, reading all of Chapter two of Colossians helps define what the Apostle meant when he wrote those parts you have shared for discussion?


Bless you ....><>
