Bible Note: Dear John, Since MJH hasn't answered yet, please let me point out that if you don't read Col 2:16 all the way to the end of the chapter, you'll miss the subject of the scripture. The subject being, don't let anyone judge you regarding food, drink, a festival, new moon or sabbath according the commandments and doctrines of men. Paul was not talking about the commandments and doctrines that God introduced through Moses. As to Peter's hypocrisy? I am ashamed to have to admit that I have not yet studied that one out yet. Therefore I am not able to give you an answer at this time. Sorry. :o) |
