Peace in Christ.
Christ is the Head of all principality and power. We are complete in Him. We don’t need man’s codified writings of rules/ordinances to rule over us…only Christ Jesus our Lord is our Ruler.
But what do the man-based churches do?
They put their handwriting of ordinances/dogmas above His head (the "high places")….and they want to deceive us with it. They say we serve Jesus by the handwriting that they want us to keep and serve. They do not hold the Head of Christ though.
Mat 27:36-38
(36) And sitting down they watched him there;
(37) And set up over (ABOVE) his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
And those who are being deceived by them reckon that Jesus is among them. They are counting Him among them. He is not there among those who are "dead" in sins and trespasses.
(38) Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
He was numbered with the transgressors by being crucified with the 2 thieves.
Notice that this Scripture was completely fulfilled 2,000 years ago. He is NO LONGER to be found among the transgressors in their present-day churches.
The verses pertaining to this does not say “might be fulfilled”…but “WAS fulfilled.”
Mark 15:27-28 KJV
(27) And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
(28) And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
That what was written had an end….a completion….accomplished in Him at Golgotha 2000 years ago.
Luk 22:37 KJV
(37) For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
We find that the Scripture “might be fulfilled” regarding other prophecies. This means it started back then 2000 years ago and is ongoing until its completion.
Joh 17:12 KJV
(12) While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Mat 4:13-15 KJV
(13) And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
(14) That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
(15) The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
The transgressors want you to come to their gatherings and keep and serve their handwritings rather than Christ who is the Head of the church body. They are “puffed up” in their fleshly minds and not having the mind of Christ.
They come forth to deceive…to spoil us through “philosophy” ( meaning “love of wisdom”) that is contained in their hand writings. The church handwriting of ordinances/dogmas are all man’s wisdom….man’s glory.
Col 2:8-10 KJV
(8) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
(9) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
(10) And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
But our Lord forgives us for the handwriting of ordinances that is against us and is contrary to us.
He takes it out of the way and nails it to His cross. He nullifies the church handwritings making the “principalities and powers” powerless over us.
Col 2:13-15 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;
(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;
(15) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
We were once “dead in our sins and the uncircumcision of our flesh” while we attended the man-based-on-handwritings churches where we kept and served their handwritings. But He makes us alive together with Him having forgiven us all our trespasses.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers (against the highly exalted….above the Head of Christ…church handwritings of ordinances) and against those who rule us with them.
Eph 6:12 KJV
(12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Again, beware of any man that wants to spoil you through his church handwriting (the tradition/transmission of men) which are patterned after the “rudiments” (the founding principles) of the outside world and not after Christ who is the Head of all principality and power.
Col 2:8 KJV
(8) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
The outside world has their handwritings (such as “constitutions”) by which they govern and judge themselves with. They do not have God as their King.
We are not to copy them in these things. We are not to make any likeness (IMAGE) of their things…their handwritings...and place them inside our places of worship (the holy place). They are the "abomination" that desolates that place of God's glory as He will not give His glory to such who have church handwritings.
We…as His people…are not to do like the nations around us who have made their governing and judging handwritings for themselves to keep and serve. We are not to take it for ourselves and place like images into our churches.
Deuteronomy 7:
25 The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.
It is an “abomination” to the Lord our God ….our JUDGE. These things are devoted to destruction (the wrath of God…fire). If we have these nation-like handwritings in our churches, we also are destroyed… “devoted to destruction” like it.
26 And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction.
The works…the church handwritings….are devoted for destruction. The works burn us up in His fire as our God is a consuming fire.
1Co 3:12-19 KJV
(12) Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
(13) Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
(14) If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
(15) If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
(16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
We must not defile the temple of God by having the handwritings of ordinances in them to keep and serve.
(17) If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
(18) Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
(19) For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
We are our worst enemy because we think of ourselves as “wise” and go to a “church” and willingly and humbly submit to a church handwriting of ordinances…..the commandments and doctrines of men contained in them. They have a show of wisdom in our own will to go and keep and serve them. But we are engaged in our own “will worship” as we are seeing ourselves as “wise” to do these things. We PERISH with the using up of them. They are devoted to destruction and we also become devoted to destruction with the keeping and serving of them.
Col 2:20-23 KJV
(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,
(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
(22) Which all are to perish with the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
(23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Professing ourselves as “wise”, we become fools and exchange the glory of God for an “image” made like the outside man…the nations around us. The glory of God departs from all of those people who are doing such things. His glory does not appear over them.
Rom 1:22-23 KJV
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Christ is the Head of all principality and power. We are complete in Him. We don’t need man’s codified writings of rules/ordinances to rule over us…only Christ Jesus our Lord is our Ruler.
