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. 19 They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
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. ~.
( Colossians 2:16 - 23 )
So, right there, Paul says that the things we eat & touch & human rituals made up by the minds of men are basically worthless & that the thing that truly matters is that we are born again in Christ Jesus!
We are free to worship the King of Kings & not to be a slave to our former selves AND/OR way of life.
True freedom is letting Jesus guide your thoughts and becoming a "slave" to the leadings & teachings of the holy Spirit
~. 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[b] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him..~
( Colossians 3:5-16 )
Thank you Lord for the freedom, the right as it is written in ( John 1: 12 - 13 ) to say that I am a child of God!
~.
"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God."

I am grateful for today. A day out to eat with Sharon & Ian. Praising & thanking the Lord Jesus for each & every day.
Happy to celebrate the freedom that I have in Christ!
ENJOY THIS JULY 4TH styled version of Paul's letter to the christians that were being misled by the false teachers in Colossae.
They were teaching the colossians that the christian faith was incomplete and that they should worship angels and participate in ritualistic ceremonies in order to achieve the salvation they were looking for.
Colossians is a wonderful reminder in the word of the Lord that as we are free in Christ, we are slaves to His love, His mercy and His way of life & law to love one another as ourselves & love the Lord our God with ALL our heart, with ALL our strength & with ALL of our souls.
HAPPY FREEDOM IN CHRIST DAY!!!!!
