Col.2{16} uhhh...cording to scripture

JohnRabbit said:

my point has alway been, why would God want to take us away from what paul describes as "holy, just, and good (rom 7:12)?


did paul not say that he served the law of God (rom 7:25)?

who care's what they or we say?


why can't we just go on what the Christ said:


John 11:9-10(NKJV)
9Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”


Jesus mentions a twelve hour day period and then He mentioned the night.


from there it seems to be simple mathematics, right?

bottom line, it's what He says. He's the Word of God (jn 1:1)!

and when He mention days, i think He knows what He's talking about (matt 12:40)!

We need to understand what this verse is really talking about.,,,,,,,,,

The “demands” or statuatory implications of the handwritten record are only those of debt, not those of the Mosaic Law.

;61968324]Written code is always a related to a or the law and not a result of violating the law.
Even in English decrees and ordinances are not records of violation. They are in place to ofend us. That is to keep us from doing something we want. Does not always work, unfortunately.

Luk 2:1 And it came to pass in those days [that] a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.

Act 16:4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.
