Colossians 2:20
If you were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders
--------------------
Colossians 2:16
For this reason let no man be your judge in any question of food or drink or feast days or new moons or Sabbaths:
Colossians 2:17
For these are an image of the things which are to come; but the body is Christ's.
Colossians 2:18
Let no man take your reward from you by consciously making little of himself and giving worship to angels; having his thoughts fixed on the things which he has seen, being foolishly lifted up in his natural mind,
Colossians 2:19

Colossians 2:20
If you were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders

Which say there may be no touching, tasting, or taking in your hands,
Colossians 2:22
(Rules which are all to come to an end with their use) after the orders and teaching of men?

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 6:13
Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will put an end to them together. But the body is not for the desires of the flesh, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:
1 Corinthians 8:8
But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.
