You and I have discussed this before. The Bible proves it.
Paul earlier is speaking of "hollow and deceptive" philosophy and tells these previously pagan Colossians to ignore anyone who criticizes them for observing God's Holydays.. Would that be your way of characterizing God's ordained celebrations....hollow and deceptive?
Notice how you evaded answering my question about why don't you kill Christians for not observing your "Sabbath." Why can't you answer that? OT law demands it.
Your interpretation of Colossians is erroneous, IMO. It is exactly the opposite in fact. St. Paul is telling these Christians to not let the Jews critize them for not observing the new moons, sabbaths, feast days, etc. He clearly states they were a shadow of things to come.How could paganism be a "shadow of things to come??"
See post #14....I'm telling you guys, you need to dump those folks. They are leading you astray!
Someone is leading someone astray here and it isn't the Catholic Church.
I don't evade anything. I don't kill Christians for being deceived....would you? Pay special attention to verse 13.
Your interpretation of Colossians is erroneous, IMO.
Well, your opinion is wrong....and here is why. Colossians 2:14 Paul writes, speaking of Christ, "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 the cross." In Ephesians 2:15 Paul says, "Having abolished in his (Christ's) flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make himself of two, one new man, so making peace.
These verses do not do away with God's Laws. The term "ordinances" is translated from the Greek, DOGMA, referring to HUMAN laws and decrees. You find this evident in Mark 7:6-9.....the traditions of men. Again, these verses are not referring to God's Law.
Our Saviour did not do away with any part of God's Law [Matthew 5:17] and this would include the Ten Commandments.
Now, why don't you explain to me why your Magesterium cannot understand the simple language of Matthew 28:1?
