rstrats, while you are correct that this passage does not explicitly mention the Sabbath, that is how most have traditionally understood it, especially in light of its similarity to Colossions 2 which does explicitly mention the Sabbath.NASB - Romans 14:5-6a
One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord,
NASB - Colossians 2:16-17
Therefore 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--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.
While what you suggest is possible, I would say it is highly unlikely given the context of the rest of scripture.Originally posted by rstrats:

And I would suggest that they traditionally understand it incorrectly.
re: “...especially in light of its similarity to Colossians 2 which does explicitly mention the Sabbath.”
How have you been able to rule out that Paul wasn’t simply saying to the Colossians that they should not let anyone - other than the body of Christ, which is the church - criticize them for HOW they were observing the things mentioned in verse 16?
