Hebrews 11:
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
COL. 2 [16] Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
The scripture above is the scripture used by all the sunday go to meetin denominations to rid themselves of Gods sabbath day. Its also their biggy to eat their piggy. There are many places in your bible which discuss the meat and the drink offerings of the holy days, new moons and the sabbath but they are ignored by the many.
1 CHRON. 23 [29] Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size; [30] And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at even; [31] And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the Lord in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the Lord:
2 CHRON. 2 [4] Behold, I build an house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.
You know the new covenant scripture. Jesus nailed the handwriting of the ordinances to the cross.
NEH. 10 [32] Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God; [33] For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
EZEKIEL 45 [17] And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
Heres one. Same exact order as Col.2{16}, meat, drink, holy days (feast days), new moons, sabbaths. What are the odds these 2 scriptures are not speaking about the same thing? A trillion to one? Higher I suppose.
NUMBERS 28 [9] And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof: [10] This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
Theres the meat and drink offerings for the sabbath days that Col.2 [16] was speaking of.
EZEKIEL 46 [6] And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish. [7] And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
The meat offering for the new moon that was spoken of in Col.2 [16].
LEVITICUS 23 [4] These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. [5] In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's passover. [6] And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread [13] And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the Lord for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
In all the feast days (holy days) meat and drink offerings were written into the laws of commandments contained in the ordinances. The above scripture points out the holy day of passover when Jesus was crucified. So why should we judge no man in meat or drink in respect to holy days, new moons and sabbath days? Because Jesus fulfilled these offerings that were written in the law of commandments contained in the ordinances. The meat and drink offerings are no more to be observed.
WHY?
JOHN 6 [53] Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. [54] Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. [55] For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
I don't think so. The context is freedom in Christ, which worldly ascetic human philosophy (works gospel) erodes.Col. 2:16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival, (or feast day) or new moons.
What is Paul talking about here? Lets read what he says. In verse 8 he warns us not to be fooled by the traditions of men. Verses 20, 22 warn us not to be subject to the rules of this world and commandments of men.
Col. 2 is actually a condemnation of acetic human philosophy. This is not a discussion of whether or not Gods laws are binding on Christians.
The church in Colosse was in the mist of a pagan gentile country. There is no question here of whether they were keeping Gods laws; rather they are being warned not to let themselves be judged by, or be influenced by the people around them. They are not being told to dismiss Gods Law. They were being encouraged to keep on keeping Gods Law in the mist of these worldly influences.
ACTS 18 [20] When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; [21] But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
Here we find Paul keeping one of the feast days in Jersalem long after Christ had crucified
1 COR. 5 [6] Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? [7] Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: [8] Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
This also is after Christ had risen. They were still keeping the Feast of unleavened bread.
Very obvious and true.
Also, God's people will still be keeping them when Jesus returns.
All of them!

HOSEA 2 11] I WILL ALSO CAUSE ALL HER MIRTH TO CEASE, HER FEAST DAYS, HER NEW MOONS, AND HER SABBATHS, AND ALL HER SOLEMN FEASTS. [12] And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. [13] And I WILL VISIT UPON HER THE DAYS OF BAALIM, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the Lord.
The WORD knew what would happen. Look into baal worship, see what it mirrors.
JOEL 1 [13] Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for THE MEAT OFFERING AND THE DRINK OFFERING IS WITHHOLDEN FROM THE HOUSE OF YOUR GOD. [14] Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord, [15] Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
A Day of the Lord scripture. It does not look good for the ministers and priests, or their followers.
JOHN 6 [55]For my flesh is MEAT indeed, and my blood is DRINK indeed.
Because JOEL 1 is a Day of the Lord scripture, the day Jesus returns, i would have to say the meat and drink offerings which are spoken of in Joel are the same ones spoken of in John 6.
Very obvious and true.
Also, God's people will still be keeping them when Jesus returns.
All of them!
Gods people will be fulfilling EVERY LAW as stipulated by Jesus in Matt. 5:43, 19:19, 22:39/ Mark 12:31-33, Luke 10:27 and SUMMARIZED in the entirety of EVERY LAW in Romans 13:8-10 by Paul and also by James in 2:8.
Apart from THESE MEASURES ^ ^ ^ ^, Sat. Sab. is WORTHLESS to the performers.
enjoy!

I would think the OC Judaizers during Paul's time would have been judging them the most, just as Paul chastised Peter for judging them me thinksCol. 2:16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival, (or feast day) or new moons.

Feasts (heorte) = 3 annual pilgrimage festivals to Jerusalem (see 2 Chr. 8:13) Heb. hag = Arabic haj
New Moons
Sabbaths = Trumpets and Day of Atonement (ceremonial Sabbaths)
The ceremonial Sabbath are called shadows because they were instituted after the fall and required animal sacrifices. The term shadow cannot apply to the weekly Sabbath because it was sanctified at Creation (Gen. 2:2-3) and is part of the 10 Commandments.
I've gone into more depth on this subject about the colossan heresy in my book, "exploring the heavenly sanctuary", chapter 3.

Hey mrassel seems your profittess has made a few mistakes. Is it wise to be partial in the law?
Malachi 2:8-9 (KJV)
8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
