[16] Let no man judge you for eating pork and catfish, or drinking coffee or tea, or not respecting a holy day, or not respecting the new moon, or not respecting the sabbath days.
[17] Which were a shadow of things that have come, but the substance which cast those shadows is Christ's physical body.
The first version is the Bible. The second version is what most people seem to think is the Bible.

Absolutely, and therefore they contradict the other verses in the discussion.
The argument also goes along with meat offered to idols, and the effect that was having on the early church. Paul didn't advocate eating at the shambles, or breaking the law of Moses, or else the accusation against Paul in
Acts 21:21, would of been true. Just like today (just without the internet, Facebook, or AFF) there were differing opinions on how to keep "ecclesiastically kosher?" Yet, the sabbath was never in question, yet, sabbaths, feast days, new moon observances were. Just as endless genealogies were also muddying the water, hence the keeping of Rabbinical traditions.
