I'm not trying to trick you, I just go by the English definition of words.

Please don't misunderstand me. I never suspected trickery. And I do know what ordinance means.
You used Col. 2:14 in a manner suggesting the Ten Commandments are abolished. They are not. The ordinances and rites (such as sacrifice and circumcision) were nailed to the cross. They foreshadowed the coming of the Christ. They serve no further purpose. But as you said "The law has only one purpose, to show you how much of a wicked, evil person you truly are and why you need Jesus Christ to save you."
Do you not agree we still need that? The Law does not save. It never did. But it is still valid.
