In response to Michael Obisesan:

I absolutely agree with you: In no way must we reject the sacrifice given us in the form of Jesus' death on the cross. Likewise the record of Mark 15:38 is most certainly reliable. All of that was most certainly a sign that all the manmade rituals, ordinances and sacrifices were ever relevant or anything that should have been performed. That which God, our Creator and Redeemer provides for us is forever pure and holy and for each of us to learn from and to be purified from. Nevertheless, we are all as little children. God has designed and created us with a clean slate, such that we know little or nothing at all in the beginning. All that we know we must learn. From the beginning God has given each of us the freedom to choose whether to learn from Him and from His pure writings, or else to put our trust in the traditions of men that are always tainted by each our own blindness. It is most important always to fall back upon, to tie back to, the original instructions as given to us in the Scriptures alone. So did Jesus. Revelation 14:12 teaches us to have the same faith, the same trust and conviction that Jesus had. Even to the point of death!

In response to Kennedy Omanudhowho:

Absolutely! Sola Scriptura! Paul wrote his epistle to the Colossians while he was in the midst of wrestling with the ordinances of men in the form of the Roman laws and before Caesar Nero. It became ever so clear to Paul that what remains for each of us to follow is the principles and ordinances of God alone, not anything not fully in harmony with that which God has been teaching us from the beginning. It is only too easy for each and all of us to misunderstand words that needs further study. So it was for Paul. So it is for us. Paul's writings as given to us in the Scriptures are for us to rely upon, but not necessarily the meaning that we have applied to those words. Back to the Bible, to the Bible only. John 17:17!
