Peace in Christ.

We are dead in our sins and the uncircumcision of our flesh when we go and submit ourselves to a dead “church” body where they keep and serve their handwritings of ordinances/dogmas. They are using their handwritings to judge....judging other supposedly in the authority of God.

We even sin against our own mortal flesh for doing so as we are being mortally destroyed along with them (being one flesh with those who are preaching their handwritings of ordinances for money’s sake). We are unclean when we are attached to their dead church body/congregation. 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 . It is called "fornication" by going to their "church"....being attached to them.

Col 2:13-20 KJV
(13) And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

But He forgives us for such things….nailing it to His cross.

He comes to give us an understanding so that we may depart from those who keep and serve their handwritings of ordinances/dogmas.

Their handwritings are “contrary” to us. They are opposed to us. They are an adversary to us. “Satan” also means “opposer, adversary”….and they are his device (along with the supportive preaching of false prophets) to get people to serve the sin: judging others for God supposedly using those handwritings as an authority for doing so.

(14) Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

But our Savior takes them out of the way so that we may life….like the heavy stone being removed from the tomb. We go free.

He spoils their “principalities and powers” which are contained in their written precepts that many submit to. He makes a show of them openly as they do not have power over us any longer. We are to follow Him out of their “churches”…the dead bodies that are being led astray by fleshly-minded men who do not know what they are doing.

(15) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Let no man judge you by his commandments contained in his handwritings of ordinances of which he trespassed into the Scriptures to get by his own understanding and put into his own handwriting. He thinks in his own fleshly mind that he is serving God by doing so.

(16) Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Those are the shadow of things to come. The true body is connected to the Head…Christ.

(17) Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Their dead body of church goers though submit to a vainly puffed up fleshly mind of man who will beguile you of your reward (an age-lasting life…aka “eternal life”) by the worshipping of the works of the church scribes whose minds were never connected to the Head. They are the work of Satan’s ministers…his “angels”…his messengers: the church scribes. They are his “principalities and powers” used to destroy the mortal bodies of those who go and submit to them.

(18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Their church body is not holding the Head. It is a dead body…and we are not to be attached to one. We are unclean by doing so and we defile our own mortal body as it is being destroyed along with them by being joined together with them (making us "one flesh" with them).

(19) And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

(20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

We must hear and depart from them. Their handwritings are “idols”…that is, images. What agreement has the temple of God (our mortal body is the temple of His Spirit) with images...with their handwritings of ordinances?

2Co 6:16-18

(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

We are commanded to come out from among them and be separate and attach not our selves to the unclean….the dead church body of those who keep and serve their handwritings.

(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not (attach not to) the unclean; and I will receive you,

(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

This is the teaching of the separation…the “water of separation”. We must come out from among the dead bodies of their churches and be separate from them. This is our purification…our sanctification: to depart from them and be separate and not be attached to them in any way. We must purify ourselves.

Num 19:13 KJV

(13) Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

Flee "fornication"...that is, flee from being attached to them. When we are attached to them, we are sinning against our own mortal body as it is being destroyed along with them. Our mortal bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in us. Our mortal bodies are bought with a price. We must glorify God in our mortal bodies by coming out from among them and be separate.

1Co 6:18-20 KJV
(18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
(19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

(20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

This is our sanctification...to abstain from "fornication"...not being attached to their churches where they are keeping and worshipping their handwritings of ordinances.

1Th 4:3 KJV
(3) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
