@Rob,
Regarding Colossians 2:16: �Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days�. You say: �This is why we Christians do not keep the Sabbath, it is of the OLD covenant�. The �Old Covenant� contained the Ten Commandments written by God on two tables of stone. It included the forth, which begins with the words: �Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy�. Are you saying that �the New Covenant� written on our hearts would have only nine commandments? So, you are taking out the only commandment that says �Remember�, and tell me to forget it? Some Christians imply that under the �New Covenant� we don�t have to keep any commandments, because now we are under grace. That cannot be so. Here is what Apostle Paul says about the Law, in Romans 7:7: �What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law�. Verse 12: �Wherefore the law is holy and the commandment holy, and just, and good�� Jesus Himself declared: �If ye love me, keep my commandments�, John 14:15. Not only that, He bids us to: �Go ye therefore, and teach all nations� Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you��, Matthew 28:19, 20. My conclusion is that the statement of Colossians 2:16 must mean something else.
