Bible Note: Okay, what does it say in the Scriptures? Brothers and Sisters, be sure to point out to your brethren their sins when they do not observe the days and diet restrictions prescribed in the law so that you are to be their judge. Oh! NO! It doesn't say that at all, does it? What does it say then? "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--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" Col 2:16-17 Don't you realize that you are judging your brethren when you say it is a command for them to observe these things? Don't you realize you are being their judge because in affect you are saying they are sinning by not observing these things? In the "New" Covenant, the New Testament, we are commanded not to judge in regard to these things! Don't you realize that you, then, maybe are sinning? Lits read it again. "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--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" Col 2:16-17 John |
