Colossians / Question
Question source
Colossians
Colossians quotes rules like "Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch" and says they refer to things that perish as they are used Colossians 2:21–22. It says such regulations have an appearance of wisdom but are of no value in stopping indulgence of the flesh Colossians 2:23.
20If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
21"Don`t handle, nor taste, nor touch"
22(all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men?
23Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but aren`t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
