Hi Philip, It's quite simple really. Col. 2:16 is telling us not to get uptight, 'religious' or legalistic about things that don't really matter. I fear that there has been a great deal of this going on in this forum with the exception of the 'Trinity'. If you are so inclined, by all means discuss them but since they are unlikely to affect your salvation, the time could be better spent seeking the things that will and helping those less fortunate than ourselves.
