Bible Question: Why is it that when Jesus was on earth He observed the religious festivals (Matthew 26:16) and yet when He returned to heaven Christians could not observe them (Colossians 2:16)? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Acts 15:29 (1-29); Rom 14:5-6 (1-23); Col 2:16 ... 202517100, greeetings and welcome to the forum. Colossians 2:16 does not say we cannot observe religious festivals. There were Gentiles and they needed to decide about "food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day" ... this also is seen in Romans 14. Acts 15:29 gives the restrictions to the Gentiles. Searcher |
