The Keepers of the Law – Part 3
We are His FINISHED WORK!!!!!!!!
Colosians 2:10 And ye are complete in him (IN JESUS, IN CHRIST, IN GRACE – having gone through the door “of faith”), which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom (IN JESUS, IN HIS BODY) also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh (Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you) by the circumcision of Christ (Hence, the Sprit of God is IN YOU, but IN YOUR SPIRIT YOU – NOT YOUR FLESH YOU!!!! That’s what circumcision does. It puts off the body. That aint you any more! Thank God!!!! Not until you and I get new SINLESS bodies someday.) 12 Buried with him in baptism (spiritual baptism, you WERE DEAD -, BURIED UNDER THE WATER!! NOW YOU HAVE RISEN!!!!!), wherein also ye are risen (past tense) with him through the (“door of” faith) of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being (currently in this state right now) dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened (raised, made alive, RISEN ALREADY!!) together with him, having forgiven you (where are YOU? Not in the FLESH, but in the SPIRIT!!!) all trespasses (so, where are all of your trespasses ALREADY FORGIVEN??? In the SPIRIT, NOT IN THE FLESH!! That’s why we still ask forgiveness IN THE FLESH but NOT IN THE SPIRIT!!); 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us/”YOU”, which are in the spirit, which was contrary to us/”YOU”, which are in the spirit, 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. 16 THEREFORE, because of ALL of that which Paul just told you… Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink (the law), or in respect of an holyday (the law), or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days (the law): 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of [fallen] angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind

Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
I want to pause and look at this passage…
Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
v10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
v11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Well, let’s ask ourselves, what comes out of our MOUTHS?????? Carbon Dioxide (mostly), Spit, Bad breath.
Somehow, I don’t think that’s what Jesus was referring to. What else comes out of your mouth? WORDS!!
“that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man”
Matthew 12:35 A good man {how does one become “a good man”… out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. (what is this??) 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. 33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. And WHAT has Jesus been talking about???? WORDS!!!! Not works!!!!
“that which cometh out of the mouth (WORDS), this defileth a man”
Back to… Matthew 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
Yes they were. Because Jesus was denouncing their WORKS/
v13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
v14 Let them alone: —— they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
v15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
v16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? We are going to get to “understanding”real soon
v17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
v18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
v19 For out of the heart proceed… evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness,blasphemies:
v20 These are the things which defile a man (but they are WORDS???!!!): but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. (not WORKS!)
evil thoughts – There is a reason this is listed FIRST. It is about our THOUGHTS.
Genesis 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
All of the sudden they COULD have EVIL THOUGHTS. They COULD NOT before. Didn’t even know they were naked!!!
Would you?
I switched the order a BIT to make my point…
adulteries –
Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man
murders –
1John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer
You don’t have to actually MURDER – you just have to CONCEIVE IT IN YOUR HEART!!!
