Bible Note: It seems like every time I hear someone discussing this verse, invariably they leave off the rest of that statement of Paul's (Col.2:16 and 17). Verse 17 explains WHY he said people shouldn't judge others concerning how and when they worship the Lord. "... which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ." NKJ Paul knew that true believers no longer needed to look to the shadow... because they looked to the real thing. And according to my concordance the Greek word for "or" is "e", and here is what it says: A prim. particle of distinction between two connected terms; disjuntive, 'or'; comparative, 'than': -- and, but (either), (n) either, except it be, (n) or (else), rather, save, than, what, yea. Often used in connection with other participles. So I don't think we should be saying that word can ONLY be translated "and"... because "or" is just as accurate. It really depends on HOW you want to interpret that verse, which truly should really be left up to the Holy Spirit to give us the correct interpretation instead of being 'led' by the teachings of men. Don't you think? |
