Changes

As djconklin states the reference in Col 2:16 is to ceremonial sabbaths that were celebrated according to the handwritten law of Moses as told to him by God as a symbol of future events. I'm amazed so many misquote this, having apparently not read the verse in it's context to the rest of the chapter. All through the Bible we are exhorted to keep the  7th day holy since creation. Calendar changes are another red herring; there has always been 7 days in a week since creation. I would assume that God would see that something so important would remain intact. Jesus kept the Sabnbath on the seventh day of the week. If His dying had any effect on the Moral Law wouldn't He have mentioned it? Celebrating Sunday as the day of rest because of His resurrection doesn't fit either. Baptism was given to us as a symbol of his death, burial, and resurrection. The Roman Catholic church claims the authority to change times and laws by sanctifying Sunday. It has no Biblical authority, nor from God either, to change a command spoken by God, written with His own finger and shouted from the mountaintop at Sinai.The Bible warns what will happen to those who teach as doctrine the traditions of men as well. It behooves us to obey the Word and keep the seventh day Sabbath.--InHIsImage
