1 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | BradK | 146414 | ||
Hi Merv, If I may interject here on your reply to Mark:-) I believe Paul addressed these matters on Christian liberty in Romans 14ff: "1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. 2 One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. 3 The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him. 4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. 5 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind." Would not also, Colossians 2:16-17 deal with the freedom to worship on Sunday? "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day— 17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ." Those are my thoughts. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | swerv | 150025 | ||
Hi Brad: Rom. 14 does not address unclean/clean food according to God's laws on what animals are clean or not in Leviticus. The clean/unclean issue was contamination by idols. This same kind of misinterpretaion is used in Math 15 - Mark 7 - Acts 10/11 to claim all foods are clean which is absolutely not true. God would not call an animal abominable in one place and them say it is clean. Absolutely not. Animals are unclean because God said so becuase they are carnivors. Col. 2:16-17 is talking about the ceremonial special days in which they did food and drink offerings. (See Lev. 23 which clearly shows the difference between the 7th Day Sabbath and the additional sabbaths/feasts/new moons. And I agree that judging should not be done. But we should search for the truth. Thomas |
