1 corinthians 6:7:11 and this one to Colossians 2:16-17

Could you help me understand these verses?

  • [6:1–11] Christians at Corinth are suing one another before pagan judges in Roman courts. A barrage of rhetorical questions (1 Cor 6:1–9) betrays Paul’s indignation over this practice, which he sees as an infringement upon the holiness of the Christian community. 6:2–3: The principle to which Paul appeals is an eschatological prerogative promised to Christians: they are to share with Christ the judgment of the world (cf. Dn 7:22, 27). Hence they ought to be able to settle minor disputes within the community.

It tells us that we hurt our enemies but it is not actually the commandment of Christ we must love them because we are all sinners and we are all saved by the Lord.

This Bible passage tells us that there is nothing that can prevent us in worshipping Christ.Jesus is the only truth and because of this we must not let others judge our faith.
 
This means that even vegans should not judge meat eaters included right? just as meat easters we should not judge vegans but its alot radical today if you noticed this?
vegeterianism propaganda brainwashing your mind like do as i say not what you think

Yes! But actually it is not just about feast or eating.You must not take this passage literally.In my interpretation with this passage there is nothing that can prevent us in worshipping Christ because it is our own faith and we must stand on it.

Paul is saying Christians are not required to observe the Jewish dietary laws or the Jewish holy days.

16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

This one instructs the Corinthians, basically, to return to the Commandments.
All those admonitions there are references to the Commandments. In other words,
“you’re fighting on one another because of your sinfulness. Repent and return to the Gospel”.

1 Corinthians 6:7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[[a]10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God

To understand the next excerpt, you need to go back to verse 8. Basically he’s saying, “You’re a Christian now. Don’t fall back to your gentile customs or your Jewish traditions. Don’t let people drag you back into the sinful ways that you once held. You have been baptized and washed of all your sins. Do not return to them.”

Col 2:6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world rather than on Christ.

9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. 11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by[c] Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[d] alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.[e]

Freedom From Human Rules
16 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. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

I hope that helps.
