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)." If you had read my study you would have noted that I dealt with both verses. Right now we are dealing with vs. 16 because some seem to feel that translators can do no wrong. --- "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" Nope, coomonly assumed but wrong. Grammatically speaking what Paul is saying that instead of letting outsiders judge you on these things let "the body of Christ" (i.e., the church) decide the matter. --- "Paul knew that true believers no longer needed to look to the shadow..." If he believed that then why did he say that these shadows "are" (present tense)? That'sone of the clues that the common understanding is wrong. --- "And according to my concordance the Greek word for "or" is "e", and here is what it says:" Assuming you are referring to "en brosei kai en posiei" where's the eta? Also it doesn't make sense with an eta in it unless one has allowed the teachings of men to guide you into understanding the verse the way they want it to be understood. |
