“Therefore don’t let anyone judge you in regard to food and drink or in the matter of a festival or a new moon or a sabbath day. These are a shadow of what was to come; the substance is the Messiah.” (Col. 2:16, 17)

So why are you judging us who honor the Sabbath? For too long this has been read by "Sunday" apologists in their favor... rather it is speaking positively. The "Shadow-caster" is Messiah. They show His outline... why is Paul's statement not in the positive? In the context of Colossians 2, he is arguing against the philosophies of MEN, not the commandments of the Almighty. Within those philosophies, those "beggardly elements" are found the platonic "earth, wind, and fire" teachings that are the anti-theseis of the Scripture. CONTEXT is king, and for too long Colossians 2 has been read OUT of context.

...rather it is speaking positively.

Your assertion of this ridiculous point will not garner as many laughs as your predecessor, as jokes (especially bad ones) just aren't as funny the second time.
