Let No One Pass Judgment on You

Those who sell counterfeit handbags never disappear, and neither do those who buy them. Vanity, a sense of inferiority and the fear of falling behind drive people to follow one another like a flock of sheep, and they cannot break free of that pattern on their own.

A poor choice among the things of this world costs no more than money. But exchange the truth for a counterfeit, and there is no chance to turn back. Satan does not rewrite the Bible wholesale; he gives a slight twist to just a part of the Word and passes it on, so those who do not know Christ cannot tell the difference and are taken in.

Jesus Christ fulfilled the whole of the law on the cross, and the new covenant sealed in his blood can be annulled by no one. There is therefore no need to take hold again of the basic principles of the world, such as feast days, the Sabbath or asceticism. Those who stand firm in Christ are not shaken, however plausible the words of false teachers may sound.
