Nobody has forbidden marriage. Nobody has re-outlawed foods like pork, as the old law did, which is clearly what he’s referring to. Oops again.
20If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21“Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22(referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? 23These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but THEY ARE OF NO VALUE in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.—Colossians 2
NO VALUE. So why submit to them?
