Colossians 2

[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.

So . . .

Esaias, when do you think the Mosaic law will end?

Do you believe it is never ending?

I’m referring to the statutes other than sacrificing animals etc..

We must always, ALWAYS remember that Jesus or Paul didn't come up with a foreign religion. [QUOTE]

We MUST always remember that the new covenant is superior to the old covenant. And that the new covenant is NOT just the old covenant with a new set of plugs and a rebuilt carburetor.

First of all, why do you go on a tangent rather than actually addressing the post you are referring to?

Secondly, your grammar is mixed up which makes your questions unclear: you ask about "the Mosaic law" (singular) then say "the ones other than" (plural).

Third, did you do the whole 40 day fast in Preparation of the Feast of the Nativity? Started Nov 15. Did you celebrate the Forefeast of the Nativity (Dec 20)? Did you do the Synaxis of the Theotokos (Dec 26)? Will you be celebrating all the way to Theophany?

Wow, these quote tags are getting goofy.

But it IS consistent with the old paganism with new paint job and logo?

Am I remembering correctly that you believe that Christmas is a celebration of the winter solstice that has been hijacked by Christianity?

But that is what people believe.

They see Jesus and Paul as flagrant law breakers. Remember they made false accusations against Paul and Christ. Again, if Jesus and Paul came up with a new religion they would of been placed on the pay no mind list. The Essenes, the Zadokites (Sadducees) and the MANY schools of Phariseeism didn't agree.

Were they arresting each other? Were they killing each other? Turning each other over to the Roman officials? No, because it is part and parcel of Judaism that they NEVER AGREE. Jesus, Paul, Peter, James, and the apostles just didn't teach something foreign. Romans didn't think the early Christain Apostolic sect was just another form of Judaism because they were ignorant. No, they saw early Christianity as just another form of Judaism, because they had a common religious day, religious piety, moral laws, food observances, and used the same exact religious writings in the first century A.D.. They even met in the same buildings called synagogues.

If we remember correctly you believe that Luke taught us to celebrate the birth of Christ.

Let's not go there.

You will lose.

Let’s go there. Please. I know people who won’t even read the story of the birth of Christ (in the Bible) because they are afraid of the whole Christmas thing. I think it is ridiculous.

EB, can you think of ANY differences in the new covenant and the old? Because it is beginning to sound like you believe they are the same!

It sounds like?

Was Jesus a law keeper?
