Bible Note: Very good! You are actually testing various interpretations! You suggested: "let no man judge you in [the singular event of] eating, drinking, a festival i.e. new moon, sabbath" The only problem here is that you dropped out two items: one, the fitrst "eta" should be translated as "either" and secondly, the the meaning of the Greek "en merei". It means "in part of" as I point out in my study. If I were to re-translate/interpret the Greek of Col.2:16-17 into today's English and take into account all of the available evidence I'd suggest this: "Let no man therefore judge you in your feasting and fasting on the feast days, or the new moons, or the ceremonial sabbath days: 17 These (i.e., the feasting and fasting) are a shadow of things to come; rather let the Church decide such matters." |
