Bible Note: "... implication was the translators were unaware of their mistake (idiots) ..." The Bible says that if we call someone a fool that we are in danger of hell fire. So, I don't do that. What I did say in my study is (this is the long version) that I don't know of too many people who had (or would) spend two years looking at all of the available literature on two verses. --- "The implication that many commentaries are written purely for monetary gain ..." I wouldn't have made that assumption. --- "... I have always found an argument that depends on the denigration of others to be distasteful, often lacking in substance and therefore lacking in credence." And yet you did. ---- "Lastly you seem to in enjoy falling all over the words “brosei” and “posei”." Nope, just paying attention to two of the words in the text; I then use them as indicators of what the text is talking about vs. what is commonly said about the text. --- "... 2 “what” they were eating was to some a problem and Paul said don’t sweat it. I think we both agree it is the latter and not the former." Try again; I take it you haven't actually read my study. 3rd option (paying attention to ther historical and cultural context as to why Paulwrote in the first place): ascetics were complaining and judging the believers for their feasting _on_ (paying attention to the Greek behind "in regards to") the feast days that are then mentioned. --- "... he was teaching we were no longer under the dietary and ritual laws." The major problem here (recognized by some scholars): there are no drink laws! Here's some of the the relevant sources (note the date on number 9): 8. Bowman, Jr., Robert M. " Samuele Bacchiocchi on Paul and the Sabbath: A Critique of Samuele Bacchiocchi's Treatment of Colossians 2:16 in His Book From Sabbath to Sunday (Pontifical Gregorian University Press, 1977) ," (CRI Statement DB020): page 3. 9.

See the practices of the Nazarites and Essenes to which several commentators appeal; for instance, Gill, John (1697-1771) Exposition of the Bible and Bruce, F. F. The Epistles to the Colossians, to Philemon, and to the Ephesians. (Eerdmans, 1984): page 114, and Scott, [ibid., page 51]: he notes that the Nazirites and Rechabites were forbidden to drink wine but that this was also "a special vow and entailed a discipline over and above the Law." 11.
