1 | what sabbath does it refer to? | Col 2:16 | seeking wisdom | 25536 | ||
Thank you for replying to my question. Unfortunately your reply doesn't help me because I am neither a Greek nor a Hebrew scholar. I am merely a student of the scriptures--and my only language is english. I will continue to seek my answers elsewhere. It was kind of you to at least answer my question considering all the weird communication around here. | ||||||
2 | what sabbath does it refer to? | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 25550 | ||
I'm not a Hebrew or Greek scholar either. What I do know is how to read the resources that are available. I also spent the bucks to get a copy of BibleWorks 4.0--with that I can search by Strong's numbers if I have to! The point with searching for the words is that neither the Day of Atonement nor the feast of Trumpets are ever called "heorte". So, what Paul did was use a "standard" OT "formula" to list the ceremonial days of the Jewish year. So, you have feasts, new moons and the ceremonial sabbaths. What was apparently happening at Colossae was that some ascetics were judging the believers for feasting and fasting on the days that are mentioned. Paul was saying to them "don't let these people judge you on these matters,let the "body of Christ" (i.e., the church) handle it." |
