after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ (Sunday January 29, 2017)

Colossans 2: 1 & 3 & 8 23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the Satisfying of the flesh. (5)

Jeremiah 2: 36 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria. (9)

3 & 6 & 9

Colossans 2: 17 Which are a Shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. (8)

18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of Angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Jeremiah 2: 35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely His Anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not Sinned. (8)

1 & 3 & 8

Colossans 2: 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. (8)

9 For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the GODhead bodily.

Jeremiah 2: 26 As the Thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their Kings, their Princes, and their Priests, and their Prophets. (8)

27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto Me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

3 & 6 & 9

Jeremiah 2: 17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy GOD, when He led thee by the way? (9)

18 And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the Waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the Waters of the River?

Jeremiah 2: 8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the Law knew Me not: the Pastors also Transgressed against Me, and the Prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not Profit. (8)

9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.

3 & 6 & 9

Colossans 2: 21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the Commandments and Doctrines of men?

Jeremiah 2: 30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no Correction: your own sword hath devoured your Prophets, like a destroying Lion. (3)

31 O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say My people, We are lords; we will come no more unto Thee?

32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet My people have forgotten Me days without number.

33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.

34 Also in thy skirts is found the Blood of the souls of the Poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.

1 & 4 & 7

Colossans 2: 12 Buried with Him in Baptism, wherein also ye are Risen with Him through the Faith of the operation of GOD, who hath Raised Him from the Dead. (3)

13 And you, being Dead in your Sins and the Uncircumcision of your Flesh, hath He Quickened together with Him, having Forgiven you all Trespasses;

14 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;

15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

16 Let no man therefore Judge you in Meat, or in Drink, or in respect of an Holyday, or of the new Moon, or of the Sabbath days:

Jeremiah 2: 21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto Me? (3)

22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before Me, saith the Lord GOD.

23 How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her Ways;

24 A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.

25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.

1 & 4 & 7

Colossans 2: 3 In Whom(Jesus) are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (3)

4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your Faith in Christ.

6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the LORD, so walk ye in Him:

7 Rooted and built up in Him, and Stablished in the Faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with Thanksgiving.

Jeremiah 2: 12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. (3)

13 For My people have committed Two evils; they have forsaken Me the Fountain of Living Waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?

15 The young Lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.

16 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.

Jeremiah 2: 3 Israel was Holiness unto the LORD, and the Firstfruits of His increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD. (3)

4 Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:

5 Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they are gone far from Me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the Wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the Shadow of Death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?

7 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled My land, and made Mine Heritage an Abomination.

1 & 4 & 7

Colossans 2: 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of GOD. (1)

20 Wherefore if ye be Dead with Christ from the Rudiments of the World, why, as though Living in the World, are ye subject to Ordinances,

Jeremiah 2: 37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath Rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them. (1)

1 & 4 & 7

Colossans 2: 10 And ye are complete in Him, which is the Head of all Principality and Power: (1)

11 In whom also ye are Circumcised with the Circumcision made without hands, in putting off the Body of the Sins of the Flesh by the Circumcision of Christ:

Jeremiah 2: 28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah. (1)

29 Wherefore will ye plead with Me? ye all have Transgressed against Me, saith the LORD.

2 & 5 & 8

Jeremiah 2: 19 Thine own wickedness shall Correct thee, and thy backslidings shall Reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy GOD, and that My Fear is not in thee, saith the LORD GOD of hosts. (1)

20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.

Jeremiah 2: 10 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing. (1)

11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but My people have changed their Glory for that which doth not profit.

2 & 5 & 8

Colossans 2: 1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea(7 Day Adventist), and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; (1)

2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the Mystery of GOD, and of the Father, and of Christ;

Jeremiah 2: 1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, (1)

2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after Me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
