It's not a matter of seeing it in a particular way it's a matter of interpreting the text properly and it's context and you are not interpreting the text properlyI don't see it that way.
You're not doing proper exegesis you're taking one passage of scripture Colossians 2 and linking it with another passage scripture in Romans. that link is invalid. You are supposed to look at them individually in their context look at the application in context and then pull them out of context and reapply them in our situation today when you do that the context denies you your rejection of the Sabbath day
Ellen White is the one who changed the Sabbath from a day of rest to a day of worship.
it just says sabbaths there, if this was so important you think Paul would have mentioned it, but he just speaks against the need of keeping the sabbath.
God's Word is not tricks. I quoted scripture, not EW. God tells us to keep His Sabbath day holy. Exodus 20:8 The only trick was the group who changed God's holy day without biblical authority that Jesus warned us about. Matthew 15:3-9. Your argument is not with me or EW, it with with our Creator because these are His commandments that God personally wrote. You should be able to find these and the other 170 + scriptures that reference God's holy Sabbath day in your own bible. That would be a trick if EW changed scriptures in everyone's bibles without anyone knowing. But they are God's Word and should we not obey God over man? Exodus 20:8-11, Genesis 2:1-3, Isaiah 58:13, Ezekiel 20:20, Ezekiel 20:12, Exodus 31:16, Mark 2:27.
sorry i have to interject here, While i disagree with Ellen White, and I don't like how some people approach this subject, you are incorrect about the Council of Jerusalem. Sabbath is not mentioned there because it was not the issue. .
since the synagogue meets on Sabbath we assume they are still keeping the Sabbath. In fact acts 15 tells us that they are. is says "From Sabbath to Sabbath Moses is preached. Col 2 is about not letting Jews who attend the synagogue tell you, you are not reconciled back to Christ.
It limits it to the "Shadow" Sabbaths in Lev 23 - the annual feast Sabbaths
Why do SDA preach more about the Sabbath rather then making Jesus the center of SDA preaching?

It doesn't say that. And if it were important even to the point of a salvation issue, it would be all over the place in the letters. He just speak against all this on the contrary.
I don't see how you can confuse this:
n Colossians 2:16-17, the apostle Paul declares, “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.” Similarly, Romans 14:5 states, “One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.” These Scriptures make it clear that, for the Christian, Sabbath-keeping is a matter of spiritual freedom, not a command from God. Sabbath-keeping is an issue on which God’s Word instructs us not to judge each other. Sabbath-keeping is a matter about which each Christian needs to be fully convinced in his/her own mind.
There is more than one Sabbath in the Bible. There is the weekly Sabbath written in stone personally by the finger of God. Exodus 20:8-11 This is part of the covenant of the Ten Commandments and is eternal Psalms 89:34 and points back as a memorial of creation Genesis 2:1-3.
There is the annual sabbath(s) that is an ordinance in the law of Moses and is about food a drink, the annual sabbath(s) feast days and fits the context of these scriptures.
If you believe in Paul’s writing you should also believe when Paul tells us:
1 Corinthians 7:19 but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.
Hope this helps.
God bless
God’s commandments are pretty specific. They are found in Exodus 20 now written in our heart and mind and they are the only scripture in the entire bible that God personally wrote on stone because they are eternal. Psalms 89:34 The Ten are the only commandments that God stored inside His ark in the Most Holy of God’s Tabernacle. If you do not think what God personally wrote with His own hand is important than that is between you and our Most High, our Creator and Redeemer.You would think Paul would be more specific if this was an important issue/commandment.
And this interpretation you make doens't make sense, Paul is talking 'simbolic' and with 'enigmas' here?, or we should just listen what the plain text says. I don't know how you get that information out of that sentence.
OF course keeping the commandments is important, but the new pact is different and changed lots of things.
Absolutely.You would think Paul would be more specific if this was an important issue/commandment.
Go with what the Bible text says but stop reading after the Gospel of John because all the books following shouldn't have been included in the Bible.And this interpretation you make doens't make sense, Paul is talking 'simbolic' and with 'enigmas' here?, or we should just listen what the plain text says.

OF course keeping the commandments is important, but the new pact is different and changed lots of things.
Its plain text, the context is ok with it too, its a sentence in clear text, that you are ok if you are convinced to not hold any day sacred, i don't know what kind of twist you can give it to it.
The question was, what part of the law gentiles needed to keep. keyword i think here is KEEP.
And then the apostles teached further, even saying directly in plain text that you don't need to keep any special day, that is up to you.
