Q3. (Colossians 2:13-15) How did forgiveness free us from the Law? What is the significance of nailing the Law to the cross? What does this symbolize? How did the cross bring triumph over evil spiritual forces?
we are freed from the law because Christ fullfilled all that was required of us to loose the bonds.
it shows that it christs work is done and through him we are not bound. we triumph over evil in that
as we follow christ we are assured of our place in his kingdom. and it shows that evil cannot stand
up to christ

Q1. (Colossians 2:8) Philosophy refers to a prevailing belief system. How can a belief system be empty and false? Have you ever personally experienced being captivated by a belief system only to find it deceptive and hollow?
When I think of beliefs systems in families I think of stories that get passed down from generation to generation. The stories always change over time taking on the flavor of the story teller. So the true story eventually becomes a fable. I was born into a LDS family with a set belief system. When the Lord called me to his true council, I found out how empty and false the things I had been taught for 35 years really were. I had no idea how captivated by it all I had been until I had to face the truth. I now realize how dangerous it is to believe in man without seeking God's council first.

Letalism and asceicism are unable to restrain us from sin because they are constraints man has put upon himself. Nothing we do as men is perfect. Paul teaches us to follow after a loving god who is perfect in nature and dosen't ask sillyness of us. We are asked to obey and follow but God doesn't make demands of us he gives us our free will so when we do follow after God's heart it is a true willingness to respond to our father's will.
