Nailed to his cross

What was Nailed to his cross? It was the official proclamation of Caesar through Pontius Pilate saying This is the King of the Jews. It was the handwriting of ordinances by the rulers of men and the "gods many" that Paul warned us about that were of the world. Christ did not do away with the law of God. That proclamation nailed to his cross confirmed His kingdom of God was at hand for He was the rightful king of the Jews and all who repented and received his baptism unto righteousness. Those who would repent and seek it and the righteousness of The Way of God through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, which is Christ. If we truly believe through faith unto righteousness and confess abiding in His love we would be doers of His word and "keep his commandments".

"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" (Colossians 2:14)

What does Paul mean by this verse?

Paul had been writing the "the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse:"[1] because they had heard of their faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which they had to all the saints, [2]

According to Paul the gospel had been preached in all the world,[3] and faithful servants were ministering to the people.[4] It was for this cause that he hoped they had both understanding[5] and good works.[6] But also talked about them all having been delivered from the darkness and already translated into the kingdom of Jesus Christ.[7]

When he told them they had been translated[8] into the kingdom he was talking about having been removed from the kingdom of darkness.[9]

We see the phrase "power of darkness," in the gospel [10] where Luke talked about the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, [11] who were the government official and the police who came out against Christ and his followers to bring them before the Sanhedrin which was the congress of the day. This was an arrest by government to bring him before that tribunal, that power of darkness and impeach him as an usurper of the throne of Judea.

We see the same metaphor in Acts 26:18 [12] about turning eyes from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan who is the adversary of God. This seems required that God's way be sought to receive forgiveness and inherit through the sanctification by faith.

And again in Ephesians 6:12 we see the metaphor one more time speaking of rulers and powers of darkness.[13]

Paul goes on and talks about the blood of Jesus Christ redeeming them with his own blood. [14] He goes on to say that Jesus was the first born of every creature.[15] The word "creature" is the word for "the act of founding, establishing"[16] It came from a word meaning create or make habitable for a people.[17]

Paul also talks about Christ as the head of the body or corpus of His appointed Church which like the Church in the Wilderness served the people in congregations.[18]

Christ had called new men to come out and serve the kingdom. To be doers of the word and he said he would take the kingdom from them that had it and give to them whom would bear fruit.[19] He would appoint that kingdom to His little flock.[20]

And he did just that with the words of their own mouth.[21] He would then appoint the kingdom to these new called out ministers[22] This new called out body would be the servant government of those congregations of the people who would repent from the alienation of their minds from the ways of God.[23]

What were these wicked works?

The Corban of the pharisees that made the word of God to none effect.

Again Paul speaks of the gospel of the kingdom having been preached to every creature or "institution" and advises that we be not moved away from His gospel.[24]

Paul preached Christ first. It was His Gospel which told us what we must do to obtain Eternal life. Jesus said we must be Doers of the Word. And clearly it was Christ's ordinance that we Keep the Commandments[25]

So, "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances" had nothing to do with the ten laws written by God. It had to do with the heavy burdens placed on the people by law makers who exercised authority one over the other.[26]

Certainly we are saved by grace and not by works but how do we know we truly believe in Jesus except by our works. Is it the truth when we say we love Jesus? Can it be the truth if we are by policy not keeping His commandments?

The truth is most people are subject to more hand written ordinances today than they were at the time of Christ. This is because they have not repented of their sin of covetousness. They still want to rule over one another rather than love one another. They are still greedy for gain and fail to attend to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.

The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.

The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.

The modern Christians are in need of repentance.

"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.
