Self made rules, regulations, and ordinances!

I have known so many Christians who have developed, in regard to living their lives, their own set of rules, regulations, or ordinances, as it says in the word of God. In Colossians 2:20-22 it reads, "Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances. (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which are all to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?" Some folks really like to appear to others as spiritual and will go to extremes to be thought of that way. Our goals and responsibility is to love God with all we have and to love our neighbor as our self. Many are espousing that they know much about God's word but the goal is to be obedient to the word that we know, thus showing how much we love Jesus. To know God's word but not do it will cause self deception (James 1:22). Let's follow God's instructions to love Him and our neighbor, thus fulfilling the whole law, and leave the touch not, taste not, and handle not to the world.
