    Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. . . . Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"? These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

    Col. 2:16-23

    Contrast the above list with the things that we are to put off as believers in Christ (Col. 3:1-11): sexual immoraltiy, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, anger, rage, malice, slander, filthy language, lies.

    And put on (Col. 3:1217): compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, forbearance, forgiveness, love.

    Foxrev, you can keep your false humility, your legalisms, your harsh rules and man-made regulations.

    Drinking wine, having a beer, dancing with your wife, playing a game of cards, are not the things that make one holy or unholy!

    Finney's Christian perfectionism was misplaced and so is your unbalanced view of Scripture and living the Christian life. I think I'm going to stick with the Apostle Paul on this one.
