Colossians 2:16 DOES NOT Abolish The Sabbath, Here's Why...

Does Colossians 2:16 really abolish the seventh-day Sabbath? Many Christians quote this passage as proof that God’s Sabbath commandment was nailed to the cross, but is that what Paul was actually teaching? In this video, we take a deeper look at the context of Colossians 2, the meaning of the word “Sabbath” (sabbaton), Paul’s argument against the false teachings troubling the Colossian church, and whether the weekly Sabbath of creation is truly the “shadow” being described. We will examine: • What Colossians 2:16 means in context • The difference between God’s moral law and ceremonial shadows • How the Bible uses the terms festivals, new moons, and sabbaths • Whether the seventh-day Sabbath was abolished at the cross • Why creation, redemption, and Christ’s lordship matter in this discussion Before throwing away one of God’s commandments, we must ask an important question: Was Paul removing the Sabbath, or was he pointing believers back to the substance found in Christ? Watch until the end and test everything by Scripture. “And He said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.” — Mark 2:27-28 #Sabbath #Colossians216 #BibleStudy #TenCommandments #Adventist #ChristianApologetics
