Yeah which is why Paul specifically mentioned all of them, feasts, new moons, and sabbaths. Here’s what your interpretation is saying, Paul said we’re not to be judged in regard to a feast or a new moon or a feast or a new moon. Now if Paul was actually referring to feasts, new moons, and the Saturday sabbath how would he have worded it?
So Paul is countermanding Jesus Christ? Jesus said His Sabbath would not end at His Cross Isa 56:6-7 Mat24:20-30 or ever Isa 66:23

Right which is why it must refer to the sabbaths that can’t be kept without the temple.
Thats the seventh day Sabbath, the holy day of the Lord, Isa 58:13 that God commanded us to keep holy Exo20:8 because man was made in His image to follow Him, not do something different. No animal sacrifices in the 4th commandment- came before sin, before animal sacrifices, before Jews, before an earthy temple Exo20:11. Just the day God set aside from creation for man and God to spend holy time together because we all need God’s blessings Isa 56:2 and sanctification Eze20:12 because as much as we think we can have these things apart from Christ, rts really just a deception leading people down the wrong path Isa 66:17

God put an end to animal sacrifices at His Cross - Heb10:1-10 Mat24:20-30 has nothing to do with animal sacrifices until His Second Coming. The weekly Sabbath has never been tied to the earthy temple, it can be kept anywhere even when there is no temple Acts 16:13 God created the Sabbath on the seventh day, no earthy temple Exo20:11
But Jesus taught that sacrifices would continue because He told us how to offer sacrifices in Matthew 5.

““You have heard that the ancients were told, ‘You shall not commit murder’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.”

Right which is why Matthew 24 is referring to the feast day sabbaths because they can’t be kept once the temple is destroyed so it can’t be referring to the Saturday sabbath because it’s not tied to the existence of the temple.

What Jesus is referring to in Matthew 24 is the destruction of the temple and the temple was absolutely necessary for offering the animal sacrifices that were necessary to observe the yearly and monthly feasts so once the temple is destroyed keeping those sabbaths would be a huge problem for them.

This is before the death of Jesus, He very clearly put an end to sacrifices for sins through animal sacrifices. Heb 10:1-10 thats what the Bible teaches as the shawdow laws are- anything released to animal sacrifices as they always pointed forward to Jesus at the Cross.

That doesn’t mean all sacrifices ended, we are to surrender our lives to Jesus Romans 12:1

Not all animal sacrifices were sin offerings. The feast sabbaths required burnt offerings these were not sin offerings. These burnt offerings couldn’t be performed without the temple.

The destruction of the temple was 40 years after the Cross, Jesus still expected His people to be keeping the Sabbath so not something that ended at the Cross.

And this prophecy is attached to His Second Coming when Jesus comes in the Clouds

Mat 24:20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the [c]elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.

26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His [d]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

God gave Ten Commandments, He numbered them by design, He added the word Remember on the one He knew most would try to forget. If we have faith the other 9 are good for us, we should have faith that all of what He asked is for our own good, in this case for our sactification, because we need God Ezequiel:12 we cannot do this ourselves. That is depending on our work, instead of resting in Him

The annual feast days required an animal sacrifice.. Jesus put an end to all animal sacrifices and offerings at the Cross.

Dan 9:27 Then he shall confirm a [a]covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the [b]desolate.”

He came to magnify His laws which we plainly see Him doing with the Ten Commandments Mat5:19–30 relating thoughts of anger that lead up to breaking the commandment to thou shalt not murder only found in the Ten Commandments- God’s personal written an spoken Testimony Exo31:18. As far as I am concerned there is no one greater than He to edit a jot or tittle of what was written by the Holy Spirit of Truth, but if you feel there is by all means follow them.

No I just proved to you that Matthew 24 DOESNT refer to the Saturday sabbath.

Now you have to point to eschatology? Yeah let’s go to the most ambiguous passages in the Bible to formulate our doctrine

It’s not there randomly nor is it ambiguous, it’s the only place that shows the Second Coming of Jesus Christ iin chronological order. Jesus would not have said it if He had ended His holy day at the Cross. Why the Sabbath was being kept faithfully by His disciples and apostles decades and decades after the Cross, Acts 13:42 Acts 13:44 Acts 15:21 Acts 18:4. That’s what we are called to be His servant Isa 56:6 putting aside the noise of the other voices and focus on hearing His voice. I would rather build my Rock on what Jesus says Mat24:20-30 Psa 89:34 Mat5:18-19 Isa 56:6-7 Isa 66:22-23 than misunderstood Paul that if misinterpreting could lead to my destruction 2Peter 3:16. God’s people keep God’s commandments Rev14:12 and only God can define those and He did both written and spoken directly from Him so I don’t think we can say I didn’t know.

We are going back in circles covering things we have already covered. I guess when Jesus comes our decisions will be final Rev2:11 so we shall find out soon enough.

It plainly says He will put an end to sacrifices and offerings, nothing about the Ten Commandments. Which is exactly what He did Heb10:1-10. He came to magnify, which means make greater His laws, which is exactly what He did with the Ten Commandments Mat5:19-30 by placing it in the NC believers heart and mind, if we cooperate Heb8:10 and not rebel Rom8:7-8 like those who came before us with a harden heart Heb3:7-19

I can see no amount of Scripture will change your view. It’s best I move on….sorry I jumped in again, I can see it was my mistake. Take care

No im using your arguing points. Did you notice how I didn’t actually interpret Matthew 24 based on a word for word reading? No, instead I used your technique where you take bits and pieces of it and jumble it all around and formulate a commentary that doesn’t line up with the word for word reading of the passage exactly like you interpret Colossians 2:16. Because in your interpretation of Colossians 2:16 you say oh it’s referring to food and drink and feasts so that means it’s only referring to the sabbaths that are associated with food and drink and feasts when that is NOT how the word OR is actually used. So yeah I gave you a taste of your own medicine and look how you instantly recognized the absurdity of it.

There are two easy ways to know Col 2:16 is not speaking of the seventh day Sabbath in the 4th commandment.

The first way is to reconcile Scripture with Scripture.

Col 2:14 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 his cross;

Its about the sabbath(s) (Col2:16) that were nailed to the Cross.

Did the weekly Sabbath commandment get nailed to the Cross?

First lets go to what Jesus said- did He say it would be nailed to His Cross? If anyone would know would it not be He?

Isa 56:6“Also the sons of the foreigner (Gentiles)
Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant—
7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.

Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
Will be accepted on My altar;
For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”
What is His house of prayer? Lets let the Bible interpret the Bible in this case- Jesus

He quoted on this prophecy

Mat 21:13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ”

His house of prayer was the temple or house of God for worship. Was there ever a time where all nations- Jews and Gentiles came together on the Sabbath before the Cross? No. Does His prophecies come true? Yes.

Jesus related the Sabbath being kept by His faithful in prophecy until His Second Coming- so the Sabbath is related to prophecy of His Second Coming- see my next post on this.

Mat 24:20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the [c]elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.
26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His [d]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

And the Sabbath will continue in the New Heaven and New Earth

Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

Going by the words of Jesus alone we know God's Sabbath, the holy day of the Lord did not get taken away at the Cross.

Jesus prophesized these things about the Sabbath- does it play out in Scripture.

Col 2:14 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 his cross;

So immediately after the Cross, was the Sabbath in the 4th commandment nailed to it?

Luke 23: 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.

So obviously the Sabbath according to the commandment- the one that was written by the finger of God, not the sabbath(s) written by the hand of Moses was kept right after the Cross, not nailed to it.

Jesus predicted those who do not defile the Sabbath would come together in His house of prayer for all nations- did that happen after the Cross


Acts 13:42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

If it was something that ended at the Cross the apostles would be correcting the people, but did they on Sabbath-keeping

Acts 13: 44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.

Of course not because Jesus predicted His house would be a house of prayer for all nations- Jews and Gentiles for those who keep His Sabbath

The Sabbath was part of the council for Gentiles just as Jesus said-the foreigners (Gentiles) who join themselves to serve Him and keep His Sabbath Isa56:6-7

Acts 15:21 For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

Jesus said:

Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go [c]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [d]Amen.

The apostles observed every Sabbath, with both Jews and Gentiles just as Jesus commanded them because it is one of God's personally written commandments and what Jesus predicts always comes true.

Acts 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

What we don't see after the Cross, because it was nailed to the Cross was the annual sabbath(s) that had to do with animal sacrifices that were handwritten by Moses placed besides the ark of God's covenant that the Bible calls as shadow laws, animal sacrifices and offerings Heb10:1-10 what Jesus was predicted to end Dan9:27

The seventh day Sabbath is the only day spoken of in Scripture as a weekly day of rest. The day God rested Gen2:1-3 Exo20:11 Heb4:4 the day God commanded us to rest Exo20:8-11 Heb4:10 as man was made in the image and likeness of God.

Pray tell why is there such a push to put into law another day as a day of rest when God never blessed or sanctified any other day except for the seventh day Sabbath which He called the Sabbath of the Lord thy God Exo20:10, the holy day of the Lord Isa 58:13. Is prophecy playing out right before our eyes. Are we making an image in the USA to those who thought to change God's times and laws Dan7:25

Oh really? Then show me these examples of these judgements in scripture. Not a single person was ever rebuked for failing to keep the sabbath. People were rebuked for almost everything else. It UNDENIABLE that between Genesis 2 to Exodus 16, roughly the first 1500 years, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS MENTIONED ABOUT THE SABBATH ANYWHERE. Then all the sudden after the commandment is ACTUALLY GIVEN ITS REPEATED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.

This fact is irrefutable.
As I have said numerous times now, Shabbat was NOT created at Sinai. This fact is irrefutable.

no he’s talking about them going back to the law.
No they are not lol! The Galatians were PAGANS before they became Christians. None of them would be following the Torah...UNLESS they were converts to Judaism...and THAT is NOT the context of that passage...

Continue reading and pay attention to the context. You’re cherry picking that one verse out and ignoring the rest of the discussion. He specifically says that they were going back into bondage wanting to be under the law. He’s contrasting between being in bondage to the law of Sinai and being children of the free woman, not going back to practicing paganism. That’s specifically what the ENTIRE BOOK is about.

“Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman. But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise. This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar. Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother. For it is written, “Rejoice, barren woman who does not bear; Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor; For more numerous are the children of the desolate Than of the one who has a husband.” And you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise. But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also. But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, For the son of the bondwoman shall not be an heir with the son of the free woman.” So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the free woman.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭21‬-‭31‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Go back and read chapter 3 or ANY CHAPTER FOR THAT MATTER the entire book is contrasting between the law and faith not paganism. You’re cherry picking one verse out of the surrounding context.

“You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Even so Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer. For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them.” Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, “The righteous man shall live by faith.” However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, “He who practices them shall live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”— in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations: even though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it. Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as referring to many, but rather to one, “And to your seed,” that is, Christ. What I am saying is this: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise. For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise. Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one. Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭29‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
I stand by my statements in context for that section. The other sections deal with those who converted or were in the process of conversion to Judaism.
