Let's examine Colossians 2:15-16 from a contextual standpoint: "Let no man therefore judge you in meat (MOSAIC ceremonial law - meat offerings), or in drink (MOSAIC ceremonial law - drink offerings), or in respect of an holyday (MOSAIC ceremonial law - yearly feast day), or of the new moon...

These verses don't disprove Jesus was the God of the OT. When Jesus said, "I have kept My Father's commandments", He spoke as a man. When He prayed, "Not My will but Thy will be done", He spoke as a man. But, when He said, "Unless ye believe that I AM, ye shall die in your sins," He spoke as...

Hi larry2, yes the Ten Commandments are a "ministry of death" - to those who attempt to obtain eternal life by obeying them. Those of us who make Jesus both our Savior from sin and our Lord to obey - and have not been seduced by the fake "Jesus Lite" which is all Savior but no Lord - find...

The ONLY way to interpret Colossians 2 is to conclude the mention of "sabbaths" refers to the yearly "Jewish sabbaths" that had to do with the seven yearly Jewish feasts. To claim it refers to the weekly Sabbath - and thus renders the weekly obsolete - is to ignore the plain distinction between...

We get a glimpse of the mind of God in His Word - and we're to pray for the mind of God in us (Philippians 2:5). I can't help it if so many distort His Word and then get offended when those of us who don't challenge their erroneous conclusions about the Ten Commandments. Encouraging Christians...

So, are you saying we're obligated to keep the Ten Commandments?

The only problem with your theory is that Paul said the Old Covenant, which was ratified by the blood of sacrifices, continued to be in effect until it had "waxed old and was ready to vanish away" and ceased to be of any did vanish away when Jesus ratified the New Covenant with His own blood.

You're saying a lot but you're telling me nothing. ARE WE AT LIBERTY TO DISREGARD OR OBLIGATED TO OBEY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?

I was in the Navy during Desert Shield and Desert Storm - gone for 7-8 months straight. When I got home, my wife didn't have a tough time figuring out how to spend time with me. She let the dishes go, the laundry go, the car washing, etc. That's what the Sabbath is all about. Spending time with...

I don't see it teaching anything else. The thousand years are sandwiched between the first and second resurrections in those verses with 6 clearly a reference to 4.

Jesus healed on the Sabbath - but He didn't saw table legs on it. I was making $10,000/month at Bellsouth in 2006 and lost my job ultimately for refusing to work on Sabbath. Daniel got thrown into the lion's den for refusing to break the First Commandment. The Three Hebrew Worthies were thrown...

I was obviously referring to the "Old Covenant" and "New Covenant". God never made the "Old Covenant" or the "New Covenant" with anyone but the house of Israel and the house of Judah. Therefore, if we are going to be a partaker of the New Covenant, we have to become a "spiritual Israelite"...

Everyone knows the Bible dates the First Resurrection at the Second Coming. What point is there a Mark of the Beast after that?

"Barnabas" is not part of the inspired Canon. But, I see you regard it, so we'll have to agree to disagree.

"The devils believe and tremble". Believing is nothing unless you back it up with action. If you believe you rest in Jesus, then you'll demonstrate that by keeping the Sabbath.

The Ten Commandments existed before the Old Covenant. Cain knew killing was wrong, Abraham knew that lying to Pharaoh and King Abilemech was wrong, Rachel knew lying to Laban was wrong, Joseph knew adultery was wrong...why do you keep falsely concluding that the Ten Commandments were rigidly...

The only problem with that idea is that the thousand years is bookended with the two resurrections - the resurrection of the just when Jesus comes gloriously and the resurrection of the damned at the end of the millennium, so what point is there of a Mark after Jesus comes?

The New Covenant is God's commandments written on the heart. Can you not see what a colossal contradiction it is to say we are still bound to keep nine of the Ten Commandments, but we are free to forget the only one that begins with the word "Remember"? Especially when God says that for all...

God never made a Covenant with anyone but "the house of Israel and the house of Judah". Are you a partaker of the New Covenant? Then you're a Spiritual Israelite to whom God has written His Laws on your heart, and the Sabbath commandment written on your heart is a sign between you and God that...

The Sabbath is not always called such in Scripture. The Lord calls it "My holy day". Imagine you announce "that's my suitcase", but as you reach for it, another passenger grabs it and says, "Sorry buddy, but there's no tag on here that says "Enoch111's suitcase" so buzz off. Would you accept...
