Colossians - Card 0001

Don't let any man judge you for keeping the days God make Holy.

 

Colossians 2  [See your Ephesians Card 0002 on this.]

Col 2:14-17
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Note:  Many use this verse as an excuse to do away with the fourth commandment. But does this verse say the Sabbath is done away? No. It says, Let no man JUDGE you concerning these things. Now, if you were a Greek convert who had been previously worshipping idols all your life, but now were keeping these things [stated in the verse], this verse would make sense. For just as the Pharisees were JUDGING Jesus concerning his keeping of the Sabbath, so Paul was warning here how MEN could sabotage your keeping these things by the same kinds of judgments resulting in, on the one extreme, either binding heavy burdens on you, or, on the other, doing away with the Sabbaths altogether.
