Colossians 2 seemed to talk about rules. How should a church, a person for that matter, decide what rules are appropriate for themselves, and how does one know when it has gone too far? This is an interesting one, and one of which churches and individuals vary greatly on. Before we dive into churches, we know families and individuals vary on what their own, personal rules are. Paul’s point in the passage seemed to be that rules don’t accomplish all that we think they will. As talked about, he told Timothy basically that they can have some value. We know that’s true. Rules can and do help out in varying situations. But rules, in and of themselves, do not stop the rebellious child from doing what he or she wants to do, even if it is in secret. People can always do whatever they want in secret, and no one, not the parent, or even God himself, can stop people from doing what they are going to do in secret.
