Bible Note: You enjoy semantics, don't you? :) Where did you get your "en", used in that verse -- from which translation or manuscript? Are you a Hebrew scholar? I am not. I have studied it a very little, but I still use a concordance when checking out specific words. Which Bible translation or interpretation do you use? If you have mentioned it, I don't remember. How do you know that YOURS is the perfect model? I use the KJV generally. And the KJV translates the Hebrew "e" as "or" in that verse. You said: If he believed that then why did he say that these shadows "are" (present tense)? My best opinion would be because all of the "shadows" represented by the Feast Days etc. had/have not been fulfilled yet. Example. If we read Daniel's prophecies, and then say "These 'are' prophecies of things to come", does that mean the prophecies automatically refer to something 'today' simply because we use the word "are"? I think verse 16 needs to be read in context, rather than picked apart... which was my point in bringing up the last part of Paul's statement. If you believe (and I'm not sure, so please tell me) that we are to keep a Saturday Sabbath, then using that same verse do you keep the Sabbath, along with the Feast Days of the Lord and the monthly Sabbaths? And by whose lead do you keep them? I mean, does the Lord tell you how to celebrate them now, or do you follow the Old Testament teachings in regard to those celebrations, or has a "teacher" somewhere taught you how to celebrate them? Need to leave... hopefully will talk later. God bless. |
