COL 2:16 And The Sabbath - Are You Being Told The Truth?

How do you interpret it? I showed how scripture interprets it.

 

It still does not assume a balanced view of the text. I use the "comparing scripture with scripture" method and challenge you with it.

 

Nobody in their right mind keeps the Sabbath in all that it once required. You cannot leave your house, or cook on Saturday. Nor can you heat your house in sub-zero temperatures.

 

You are the master at repeating yourself as you continue to "parrot off" what your SDA predecessors before you have taught.

Same old shady lawyer tactics. Your false teachings have already been refuted numerous times by numerous people and your arguments in your posts only demonstrate that you are thoroughly indoctrinated and blinded by the god of this world. (2 Corinthians 4:3,4) It's your claims and false teachings that are found wanting, but you are too blind to see it. It also really gets tiresome wasting my time beating a dead horse.

I already covered this in post #185. You have to be the most deceived and brain washed person that I have EVER come across on a Christian forum website!

SABBATISMOS rest (which is used no where else in the Bible) and is the perpetual rest to be enjoyed by believers in their fellowship with Jesus Christ, in CONTRAST to the weekly sabbath under the law.

You are deeply DECEIVED, yet I will continue to pray for you. Only the Lord can soften your heart and open your eyes to the truth.

 

Regardless of the foot work, the NC replaced the Old.

 

More prevarication. I, & others, provided the Scripture. but you refuse to believe their true meanings cuz the ole quack you vall a "prophetess" didn't believe them.

 

Where do you see "Shadow Laws"?

Scripture says:

16Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day— 17things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

All the festivals, moons and sabbaths point to Jesus Christ.

"V16 being in reference to the "SHADOW sabbaths" in the annual festivals"

Well then what does SHADOW festival cover?


And suppose he wanted to say what we think it means, what would he have to say?

I'm not feeling you work out text into your idea. Rather your starting with a Philosophy and fishing for it.

Your entire belief concerning this could have been spelled out in one line quite easily, And it never happens.


The scripture gives flat out warning:

Colossians 2

8See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

Colossians 3

11a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.

Early church fathers were all over this, the apostles are still alive too.

“[T]hose who were brought up in the ancient order of things [i.e. Jews] have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord’s day, on which also our life has sprung up again by him and by his death” (Letter to the Magnesians 8 [A.D. 110]). --Ignatius of Antioch.


“[T]he day of his [Christ’s] light . . . was the day of his resurrection from the dead, which they say, as being the one and only truly holy day and the Lord’s day, is better than any number of days as we ordinarily understand them, and better than the days set apart by the Mosaic law for feasts, new moons, and Sabbaths, which the apostle [Paul] teaches are the shadow of days and not days in reality” (Proof of the Gospel 4:16:186 [A.D. 319]).--Eusebius


I think this is the biggest point overlook. The REALITY of the DAY OF RESURRECTION outshines ALL OTHER DAYS in holiness. It has the FULL holiness, the first holiness.

The epitome of worship the sacrifice is ACCEPTED on the Resurrection of Jesus.

If Mankind was to keep Sabbath holier than Sunday, Well Jesus just totally ruined that plan.

 

Amen brother! He is not interested in the truth but is only interested in accommodating the false teachings of his cult.

 

Angel, you & Alofa keep speaking of CONTEXT, when most of the context of the NT is that we're no longer bound by the law. But you choose to believe what your false prophetess wrote about their meanings, rather than what they ACTUALLY mean.

 

We use some of the 10Cs for instruction and correct thinking. The flesh still needs Law. But the Spirit gives us power over the flesh.

 

Jesus was fulfilling the Law. But after doing so he abolished it.
