Bible Note: Dear rakpak, If you say that the Sabbath and dietary restrictions are in affect and commanded for us to obey, then by implication and according to Col 2:16-17 you are indeed judging. And you sure aren't offending me my friend, but you are not showing respect for the Scriptures and what they actually teach. Just because some things are being 'observed' by some, does not mean we are commanded to observe them too. In the OT many had more then one wife, and were observing polygamy. Would you say because we see someone observing it in the scriptures or that some do that today, then would we say we should do that? There are many such examples of these kind of aberrant behaviors in the Scriptures, but that doesn't mean we are to follow them. If you would like to observe the Sabbath and dietary restrictions, there is nothing in the Scriptures that would prohibit you from doing that, so then, I would have nothing to say to you about it other then, God bless you. But if you tell me I'm not obeying the commandments of God by not doing it too, then by implication, and again according to Col 2:16-17 you are indeed judging me. So be careful that the Word itself doesn't judge you, my friend. John |
