Colossians 2:16-17 Colossians 2:16-17 [16]Therefore let no one sit in judgment on you in matters of food and drink, or with regard to a feast day or a New Moon or a Sabbath. [17]Such [things] are only the shadow of things that are to come, and they have only a symbolic value. But the reality (the substance, the solid fact of what is foreshadowed, the body of it) belongs to Christ. Questions; 1. How do you understand the above quotation? 2. Is it to go in line with what the Bible teaches that shows the judgement? 3. Whoever changed the days and times, who also compared people NOT to observe the Teachings of the Bible, is he not the one judging? Daniel 7:24-25. Please take your time to read the Bible and understand the content.
Read 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6. What admonition does the apostle Paul give us regarding the last days of human history? The apostle Paul urged the believers at Thessaloniki to “watch” and “be sober” in the context of the second coming of Christ. And if Paul would say that to believers then, what would he say to us today? He also declared that they were “children of light” (1 Thess. 5:5, NIV) and that they were not in “darkness, so that this day [the return of Christ]” (1 Thess. 5:4, NIV) should overtake them “as a thief ” (1 Thess. 5:4, NKJV). Jesus used the expression to “watch” in connection with earnest, heartfelt prayer (Matt. 24:42, Matt. 26:40, 41). To watch is to be spiritually alert. To be sober minded is to be serious about the times that we are living in and focused on the things that really matter. Ellen G. White adds: “We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise.”—Testimonies for the Church, vol. 8, p...
The Bible talked about the Imprinting of God's Commandments (Laws) into our minds yet most preachers and Christians are looking for ways to identify the mark of God which is plainly written in the Bible. The center of any human being is the mind (State of thinking) which forms how such a person will act or behaves. For that, God said "I will imprint my Laws into their minds".Hebrews 8:10, 10:16. Below are some of the Bible verses that stated very clear that, the mark on our forehead and on the right hand side is the very Commandments or Law of God. Deuteronomy 11:18. Jeremiah 31:33. Isaiah 8:16. Ezekiel 20: 12, 20. When you say there is no need for the Law of God, you are rather denying that Mark and truth is not in you. 1John 2:4, Mark 12:30-31. You should know that which you are showing reverence to. Choose whom you want to worship and do it with sincerity.
