Keep the Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday & Rest in Christ

[Rose of Shushan]

Quote:It never takes long for most to come up with the verse from Collisions. That's ok though. I hung on that same verse for about 20 years myself at one time! Now for a small dose of truth.... Remember now.....we're thinking objectively, not subjectively, right?

Col 2:16 Let no one therefore judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a festival or a new moon or Sabbaths –
Col 2:17 which are a shadow of what is to come – but the Body of the Messiah.

Consider these facts...
1)Paul 1st mentions meat and drink.
There are no drink regulations in the "law".
2)The kjv added the word "is" to the verse changing what is contrasted.
3)He says they are a "Shadow of what is to come".
Paul is saying let no man judge you, except members of the one body because these festivals and new moons and annual (and weekly) Sabbaths which you had not been keeping, but are at long last now keeping, are shadows of good things to come! Think logically here!

Paul kept the weekly and annual Sabbaths himself. Why would scripture be silent on changing the 4th commandment if it had been done away with? I've got good news for you! It hasn't changed. Paul didn't have the authority to change the law. As a matter of fact he considered the law...

The good things to come were already here.Messiah Jesus and the New Covenant.

Theres some good verses to show this in Hebrews but this one addresses what you wrote quite well

Heb 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
Heb 9:10 Which stood only in foods and drinks, and various washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
Heb 9:11 But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.


Also check these out

Heb 8:4 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, says he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount.
Heb 8:6 But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.


Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the ones approaching perfect.
