Bible Note: Daughter, What translation are you using? I vastly prefer the NASB translation which accurately translates the greek conjunction (kata) into "in accordance with the commands and teachings of men." Meaning it is men teaching them to continue doing these things, not referring to whether or not they were found in the old testament scripture. Obviously I disagree with how you consider the context. Not only in the way I said above, but also some of the things he mentions are from the old testament, and some are not. Not marrying and harsh treatment of the body which follows the statement for example. What about circumcision in verses 12 and 13? He is clearly saying christ has ended any need for that. Even should you not agree here, the council in acts 15 makes it clear that there is no need for the gentile Christians to follow the ceremonial laws of moses, which include the festivals. Why? Because all these things pointed to Christ. I agree whole heartedly with John Calvin when he argues in the institutes that it was fit for these things to end with the comming of Christ lest we were unclear about to what they pointed.
