Another view................................ The "handwriting of ordinances that was against us" could not refer to the "sacrificial ceremonial law." It was that part of the Law which the faithful relied on to give atonement for the sins and trespasses committed. The ordinances against us were the original 10 which could never be kept perfectly and pointed out our sin. Steve |

Steve, The only law that was ever called against us was the ceremonial law that was placed on the outside of the Ark while the Ten Commandments were inside the Ark: Deuteronomy 31:26 "Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee." The ceremonial law is against us because in order for us (if we had to do it today) to be saved from our sins we'd have to kill an innocent animal. We know that there are some who are blood-thirsty enough and cold-hearted enough so that it wouldn't faze them in the least. But, I think most of us would have to have some very serious discussions in order to get us to do it. Note also that Paul says that the Law was holy, just, and good (Rom. 7:12) and ordained to life (Rom. 7:10) and one in which he delighted (Rom. 7:22). You are 100 percent correct in noting that we as sinners cannot keep the Law on our own power. But, that doesn't mean that it is against us. As you pointed out the law points out our sins--now we flee to Christ and confess our sins so He can save us from the guilt and power and be of sin the double cure (Rock of Ages?). |

3 | what sabbath does it refer to? | Col 2:16 | srbaegon | 25797 | ||
I'm puzzled. It appears you are saying that the ceremonial law is against us because the only way to be saved is to follow it. Is that correct? Steve |

4 | what sabbath does it refer to? | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 25811 | ||
No, it is against us (as I understand it; you could call a rabbi to explain the verse) because in order for us to be saved by following it we have to kill an innocent animal who represents Jesus. How many volunteers do we have to kill Jesus? | ||||||
5 | what sabbath does it refer to? | Col 2:16 | srbaegon | 25819 | ||
Your words condemn you, sir. According to this posting and the previous, you say we would be saved by the sacrifices. This is not the case at all. In all of Scripture righteousness is accounted to us on the basis of faith (Gen 15:6; Rom 4:1-8). If the sacrifices could save, we would not need Christ. Your idea of "works righteousness" fails miserably. Steve |

Steve, Oh boy! I AM NOT PREACHING A WORKS RIGHTEOUSNEES GOSPEL--OKAY!?! The sacrifices are completely ineffective if one does not have faith. On the other hand, faith without works is dead (James 2:20). --- "Your words condemn you, sir." Matthew 5:22. |
