The Bible Gives A Warning To Christians the about False Teachers Regulations/Restrictions in Colossians 2:16-23.
"Therefore do not let any man judge you by what you eat or drink,or with regard to a religious festival, A New Moon celebration, or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews,grows as God causes it to grow."- Colossians 2:16-19
"Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules:Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!" ? -vs. 20-21
"These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings."-vs. 22
"Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom,with their self-imposed worship,their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body,but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence." -vs.23
* God does not intend for us to refrain from eating certain foods based upon others teachings or from celebrating Thanksgiving, or other religious festivals, and so on.

False Religions Deny...
How are other religious teachings different than what Christianity teaches?
*This is a question that Greg Laurie-radio pastor on the 830 Am Station has been asked many times,along with others.
The answer is simple.
For starters other religions have many books that they use to teach their views.
Christianity on the other hand only uses the Bible.
Other religions deny the personal relationship believers can have with God.
Christianity teaches that one can have a personal relationship with God by trusting in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
Other religions either deny the existence of Heaven, and Hell altogether, or they teach a different heaven than the one discussed in the Bible.
Christianity teaches the existence of both Heaven and Hell as creations of God. Christianity teaches heaven is only where those who trust in Jesus Christ as thier personal Lord and Savior go. Hell is where the demons,anti-christ,and Satan will go at the end of time, and where those who reject Christ go now,and those in the past who died without him in thier lives went.
Other religions teach works for salvation.
Christianity teaches that works are not a valid means for salvation.
Other religions say that Jesus Christ was and is only a good person,man, prophet, and teacher.
Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is the perfect,sinless,Son of God.
Other religions teach that Jesus did not die for our sins,but that he either died as a liar,and crazy person, or that someone else died on the cross(but later claimed to be him).
