Do you know why?
Take a look at some great Bible texts not to be ignored
In Gal 4 - as many others point out - there are days that are condemned entirely. And the text shows us that it is the pagan days that are condemned.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Gal 4 - Paul condemns them for observing even ONE of the pagan days.
7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 8 But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods.
(Pagans in Galatia who worshiped false god before becoming Christian)
8 However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods. 9 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? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.
============================================
By contrast in Rom 14 - Christians are to be condemned IF they judge or condemn anyone for observing even ONE of the Bible Holy days - of Lev 23.
To "esteem the day" is to "Observe" the day in Rom 14
Romans 14
5 One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord;...
10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Just when you want to condemn all Christians that remember to keep God's 4th commandment using Gal 4 that condemns only pagan days - Paul says that there is not even one of the Bible holy days that you may condemn others for keeping, much less condemning those who choose to honor God's 4th commandment.
====================================================
So then ALL pagan days condemned in Gal 4.
All Bible holy days defended in Romans 14.
These two chapters cannot be bent and edited as if they mean to condemn all observance of the Bible approved days in Gal 4 and defend all observance of pagan days in Rom 14.
Rather in Romans 14 all Bible - approved holy days are defended, and Galatians 4 all pagan days are condemned.
=====================
Still - 1 Cor 7:19 and Ephesians 6:2 are pretty hard to ignore ... no wonder we have Revelation 14:12 - just as it reads.
another one of my favorites - Isaiah 66:23 "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL MANKIND come before Me to worship"
