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

If you keep the Sabbath, you must do the whole law = rejecting the New Covenant.

 

I KNOW the NC does. Did Jesus help kill the adulterous woman brought before Him? Do we sinlessly kill sexual perverts just because they're perverts? Do we kill witches & warlocks? How about the fortuneteller down the street?

 

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1 (KJV 1900)


“For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.” 2 Peter 2:20 (KJV 1900)

 

Follows the word of website over the Word of God? Seeking to discuss anything else except the Word of God and the OP? You continue to sound like a shady lawyer with your continued slanderous remarks, which validates what these former SDA's have to say about your deceptive false religion. I have quoted the Word of God numerous times in my posts and anytime I post a link to a website, it quotes the Word of God. I have also discussed the OP in post #34, but the truth just went right over your head and you responded in typical style with more scripture twisting and SDA propaganda.

Speaking of websites, do you still support this website? - https://www.beastsmark.com If I remember right, you were quite fond of it and had a link to it in your posts on one or two other Christian forums.

I often hear SDA's make the challenge for someone to show them where the 4th commandment has been abolished or show that Sunday instead of Saturday is the day to worship, yet it's all part of building a straw man and is not the real issue and the New Testament makes it a moot point.

Romans 14:5 - "One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind."

Galatians 4:9-11 "But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain."

Colossians 2:16-17 "Therefore let no one 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."

Of course, SDA's will use deceptive measures to try and make us believe that these passages of scripture above have nothing to do with with the sabbath day and SDA's also have a very difficult time making the complete transition from the old covenant into the new covenant. (2 Corinthians 3:6-9; Hebrews 8:13 )

In regards to God's 4th commandment in the Old Testament under the old covenant, maybe you can tell me where in the New Testament under the new covenant where Christians are commanded to keep the sabbath day or are condemned for failing to do so? So why do you hate Sunday so much? I found an interesting passage of scripture for you to ponder in the Old Testament since you despise Sunday so much. In LEVITICUS 23:5-11, notice in verse 11 - "'And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord for you to be accepted; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.'" The day after the Sabbath is Sunday. Read on paying close attention to Leviticus 23:15 - "'You shall also count for yourselves from the day after the sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf of the wave offering; there shall be seven complete sabbaths. You shall count fifty days to the DAY AFTER THE SEVENTH SABBATH; then you shall present a new grain offering to the Lord.'" This is the Feast of Pentecost. It was one of the compulsory feasts of Israel. Also take note on the day of Pentecost, (a Sunday) God's people were commanded to worship. God says, "On this same day you shall make a proclamation as well; you are to have a holy convocation. You shall do no laborious work. It is to be perpetual statute in all your dwelling places throughout your generations." Leviticus 23:21.

I neither deny God's Word or follow traditions if I work on Saturday because I am not an Israelite under the law, so enough with your continued copy and paste regurgitated false accusations. You continue to "parrot off" that if we break any one of God's 10 commandments we stand guilty before God of sin. Well guess what, ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) NOBODY has perfectly obeyed the 10 commandments except Jesus Christ, so stop looking to the law for salvation. Instead, look to Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:24-28; 5:1; 6:23)

Accusing believers of spreading lies and denying God's Word doesn't make the truth that salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9) disappear. Seeking salvation by "grace plus law, faith plus works" (Galatians 1:6-9) counts the blood of the covenant an unholy thing. (Hebrews 10:26-39). I find it so ironic that verses you quote to rebuke others apply directly to you. I sincerely hope and pray that your eyes will one day be opened to the truth. Only the Lord can open your eyes to the truth, but you must be willing to repent and accept the truth.

 

The NC gives knowledge of sin through the Holy Spirit.


“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:” John 16:7–8 (KJV 1900)

“And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.” Deuteronomy 30:6 (KJV 1900)

 

We discussed it as far as is necessary. Its meaning is very clear. And Paul wrote in other places, BY GOD'S AUTHORITY, that Christians are NOT bound by the law. (Of course, we're bound to not commit evil acts against other people, nor worship any other "god".)

We simply DON'T believe your "shadow" junk, which is straight outta Mrs. White's trash, nor anything much else that ole quack wrote.

 

You insist upon PREVARICATING. I wouldn't respond to your bunk at all, except I hope no new believer believes any of it.

Your LIE is that I deny GOD'S word. What I deny is Mrs. White's word, & the whole SDA cult.

 

So, you're afraid to confront him over it? I'm not the arbiter in this.

 

Same as being circumcised as part of salvation. If you do one, you must do ALL, without fail or error.

I simply rely on JESUS to have saved me & to forgive my past sins & any I may commit in the future, unknowingly or outta anger or emotion.

 

The Spirit involves loving God and others. The 10Cs made people act as though they loved God and others under threat of death. If you need God to threaten you to act like a Christian, you might not be one.

 

I posted a scripture by scripture interpretation. You only brushed it off. Here it is again.

“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;” Colossians 2:14 (KJV 1900)

“Therefore let no one sit in judgment on you in matters of food and drink, or with regard to a feast day or a New Moon or a Sabbath.” Colossians 2:16 (AMP)

“He has destroyed what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness expressed in decrees opposed to us. He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.” Colossians 2:14 (NET)

“Therefore do not let anyone judge you with respect to food or drink, or in the matter of a feast, new moon, or Sabbath days—” Colossians 2:16 (NET)

“when he nullified in his flesh the law of commandments in decrees. He did this to create in himself one new man out of two, thus making peace,” Ephesians 2:15 (NET)

“So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God.” Romans 7:4 (NET)
