16\xa0Therefore do not let anyone judge you\xa0by what you eat or drink,\xa0or with regard to a religious festival,\xa0a New Moon celebration\xa0or a Sabbath day.\xa017\xa0These are a shadow of the things that were to come;\xa0the reality, however, is found in Christ. Colossians 2:16-17 (NIV)

22\xa0You see, his faith and his actions worked together. His actions made his faith complete. James 2:22 (NLT)

18\xa0Do not let anyone who delights in false humility\xa0and the worship of angels disqualify you.\xa0Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. 19\xa0They have lost connection with the head,\xa0from whom the whole body,\xa0supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow. Colossians 2:18-19 (NIV)

18\xa0Don\u2019t let anyone disqualify you from your prize! Don\u2019t let their pretended sincerity fool you as they deliberately lead you into their initiation of angel worship. For they take pleasure in pretending to be experts of something they know nothing about. Their reasoning is meaningless and comes only from their own opinions. 19\xa0They refuse to take hold of the true source. But we receive directly from him, and his life supplies\xa0vitality into every part of his body through the joining ligaments connecting us all as one.\xa0He is the divine Head who guides his body\xa0and causes it to grow by the supernatural power of God. Colossians 2:18-19 (TPT)

8\xa0\u201cFor my thoughts\xa0are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,\u201d declares the\xa0Lord. 9\xa0\u201cAs the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)

20\xa0For you were included in the death of Christ and have died with him to the religious system and powers of this world. Don\u2019t retreat back to being bullied by the standards and opinions of religion\u2014\xa021\xa0for example, their strict requirements, \u201cYou can\u2019t associate with that person!\u201d or, \u201cDon\u2019t eat that!\u201d or, \u201cYou can\u2019t touch that!\u201d 22\xa0These are the doctrines of men and corrupt customs that are worthless to help you spiritually.\xa023\xa0For though they may appear to possess the promise of wisdom in their submission to God through the deprivation of their physical bodies, it is actually nothing more than empty rules rooted in religious rituals! Colossians 2:20-23 (TPT)

Let me be clear, the Anointed One has set us free\u2014not partially, but completely and wonderfully free! We must always cherish this truth and stubbornly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past. Galatians 5:1 (TPT)
