Colossians 2:16-17 and Sabbath/Festival/New Moon Observance

[prove-all]

Covenant Complete

You will remember that to the Ten Commandment law, God
added no more (Deuteronomy 5:22). Any other law, or covenant,
coming later, is no part of it, but a separate law or covenant.

Paul makes this plain: “Though it be but a man’s covenant,
yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth
thereto” (Galatians 3:15).


The Ten Commandment law is complete—God added no
more. Also, the Old Covenant was confirmed, as described in
Exodus 24:4-8. It cannot be added to.


Later, after both the Ten Commandments and the Old
Covenant had been made complete, ratified, put in force and
effect, God made another totally separate and eternally
binding covenant with His people.

WHY the Sabbath?

God never does anything in vain—that is, to no good and
useful purpose. When God does anything, or makes anything,
there is a reason—an important purpose.

God, through “the Word” (John 1:1-3) who became Jesus
Christ, made the Sabbath. He made it for man.

But why? What purpose does it serve? Mankind has lost knowledge
of that important purpose, too! Jesus Christ (Mark 2:27-28)
said it was made for man, rather than man for the Sabbath.

But at that time He merely told for whom He had made it—
not why—not for what purpose, except to serve and benefit man.


The Special Sabbath COVENANT

“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also
unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall
keep ….” Notice, once again, which day is “the Lord’s day.”

The Eternal calls the Sabbaths “my sabbaths.” The Sabbaths
are His—they do not belong to us—they are not our days, but
the Lord’s. They are not “the Jewish Sabbaths” or “the Gentile
Sabbaths.” The Sabbath is a space of time. That time, whenever
it arrives, is not ours, but God’s.

If we appropriate it for ourselves—for our own use, whether work, pleasure,
or what, we are stealing that time from God!

Notice again! He said: “[M]y sabbaths ye shall keep.” In
Exodus 20:8 we saw that He commanded to “keep it holy”—

God made it holy time, and commanded us to keep it holy—
not to profane what is holy to God.

Now study this special covenant a little further: “… for it
is a sign between me and you throughout your generations;
that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you”
(Exodus 31:13).
What tremendous meaning is packed in that portion of this
sentence! Yet most people read right past it, failing to get the
vital truth it contains!

Notice! Here is the purpose of the Sabbath. “… for it is a sign ….”

 

[prove-all]

What is a sign?

God commanded His people to keep His Sabbath as a sign.
It is a sign between God’s people and God—“… a sign between
me and you,” the commandment says. It is a badge or token of
identity. It advertises, or announces, or proclaims certain identifying
knowledge. But what knowledge? God answers: “… that
ye may KNOW that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.”

WHO Is God ?
Note those words carefully!! It is the sign that identifies to
them who is their God ! It is the sign by which we may KNOW
that He is the Lord !! It identifies God !

But doesn’t everybody know who God is?
Absolutely NO! This whole world is deceived—so says
your Bible (Revelation 12:9).

This world has a god—a false god—Satan the devil! He
pretends to be “an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). He has
his religious organizations. Not all are Buddhists, Shintoists,
Taoists, Confucianists.

Many have appropriated the very name “Christian,”
whose ministers, says your Bible, actually are Satan’s ministers:

“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into
an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers
also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness …”
(2 Corinthians 11:14-15).


But do they actually call themselves the ministers of Christ? Read the verse just before
the two just quoted—verse 13: “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming
themselves into the apostles of Christ.” Yes, Satan is the great counterfeiter.

He palms himself off as God. He is called, in your Bible, the
god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4). He palms off his ministers
as the ministers of Christ—accusing the true ministers of Christ
of being “false apostles” to divert suspicion from themselves!


Does this world’s “Christianity” really know the true God?
It is deceived into believing it does, and a deceived world may
be sincere in that false belief.


But the true God is the one whom we obey.
This world is not taught to obey God! Its false “Christianity”
teaches that God’s law is “done away.” It actually puts human
conscience, actuated by Satan’s false teaching, in place of God’s
law! It does not teach, as did Christ, that we must actually live
by every word of God—of the Bible!

It obeys Satan by sinning!


Creation is the PROOF of God—of His existence. It—the
act of creating—identifies Him!

So God took the most enduring, lasting imperishable thing
man can know—a recurring space of time—the only day that is
a memorial of the act of creating. He took the only day which
points, constantly, every seventh day of the week, to the existence
of the almighty, all-powerful, all-ruling God —the Creator!

And God set that particular day apart from others as His
day—God made that particular day sacred and holy to Him—
designating it as the very day on which He commands His
people to assemble for worship—the day man is commanded
to rest from his own work and physical pleasure—and to be
refreshed by assembling with other obedient worshipers in
spiritual fellowship!

No other day is a memorial and reminder of creation. True,
Satan has deceived a deluded world into supposing Christ’s
resurrection occurred on Sunday morning at sunrise—

the very time which has always been the time of pagan sun-worship.

The teaching of Herbert Armstrong was that every believer outside of the Worldwide Church of God fellowship was unsaved and still in their sins due to the fact that they did not keep "God's laws" as he defined them...mostly the weekly Sabbath, festivals, clean/unclean meats, and triple tithing.

In addition, he denied the Christian doctrine of the Trinity and taught that church members were going to be Gods in the resurrection, much like Mormonism teaches.

This one comes from this website or one like it. There are all kinds of Armstrongite cultists who reproduce his bookliets on the internet. This site is Gerald Flurry's group..one of Armstrong's disciples. Notice that prove-all does not quote the source of his materials, knowing that they come from a cultic group that denies the Trinity, the Christianity of non-Sabbathkeepers and teaches that man can become a God:

https://www.thetrumpet.com/literatu...s-or-gods-holy-days-which?preview?print&print

In the seventh chapter of the book of Daniel is an amazing prophecy picturing for 2,500 years into the future, from the day it was written, the course of the Gentile kingdoms.

Starting with the ancient Chaldean Empire of Nebuchadnezzar, this prophecy foretells the successive world rule of the Persian Empire, Alexander’s Greco-Macedonian kingdom with its four divisions, and finally, of the mighty Roman Empire. Out of the original Roman Empire, symbolized by 10 “horns” growing out of the head of a “beast,” are pictured the 10 resurrections of the Roman Empire that have continued since its fall to the present, and are scheduled to continue until the coming of Christ.

Among these 10 kingdoms which have ruled in the Western world since the fall of Rome to the present, appeared another “little horn,” whose “look was more stout than his fellows.” In other words, another government, actually smaller, yet dominating over all the others. Students of prophecy recognize this “little horn” as a great religious hierarchy. And in the 25th verse of this prophecy, it is stated that this hierarchy shall “think to change times and laws.”

How Time Was Changed
This same power is mentioned again in the 17th chapter of Revelation, here pictured as ruling over the kings and kingdoms of the Earth, persecuting the true saints.

In every possible manner, this power has changed time!
God begins the days at sunset, but “the little horn” has changed it so the world now begins the day in the middle of the night by a man-made watch.

God begins the week with the ending of the true Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, but the world begins the working week in the middle of the night, the second day of the week.

God begins the months with the new moons, but this “little horn” has induced the world to begin the months according to a clumsy man-made calendar of heathen origin.

God begins the year in the early spring, when new life is budding in nature everywhere, but ancient heathen Rome caused the world to begin the year in the middle of dead winter.

God gave His children a true rest day, designed to keep them continually in the knowledge and true worship of the true God—a memorial of God’s creation—the seventh day of the week. But the “little horn” has fastened upon a deluded world the observance of the days on which the pagans worshipped the sun, the first day of the week, called Sunday.

This is a booklet written by Herbert Armstrong. I used to be a member of his cult, Worldwide Church of God.

prove-all does not acknowledge the source of is materials, well knowing that it is cultic. Armstrongites are as bad as the Jehovah's Witnesses.

He is basically re-posting Armstrongite teaching. As previously noted, these guys deny the Christianity of non-Sabbathkeepers, require keeping Old Covenant laws including the Sabbath, Holy Days, and Clean/Unclean meat laws as well as triple tithing as conditions of salvation, and teach that believers (them basically) become God beings in the resurrection.

This one comes from another Herbert Armstrong booklet:

Pagan Origins
Ancient Rome’s pagan holidays have been chained upon a heedless and deceived world. These include certain annual holidays—Christmas, New Year’s, Easter, as well as many more, every one a pagan day—every one used to stimulate the sale of merchandise in the commercial markets. Upon honest investigation, the earnest seeker after truth learns that these days are all of heathen origin and pagan significance. He learns that he should have no part in them.

But is the Christian of today left without any annual holy days? Did God never give to His people annual holy days, as well as the weekly Sabbath? Are not ancient Rome’s annual holidays mere counterfeits of God’s true holy days, exactly as Sunday is a counterfeit of the true Sabbath?

Banishing Prejudice
Let us honestly open our Bibles, and prayerfully investigate. We are told to study—not argue, not to refute, but—to show ourselves approved unto God—to learn God’s will. We are commanded, as Christians, to grow in knowledge as well as in grace (2?Peter 3:18). All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable to correct and to reprove us, where we have, through assumption, false teaching or prejudice, been in error.

Most people have supposed that all the annual sabbaths and feast days of Israel were done away. And yet Church history shows that the early true Church did, for more than 400 long years at least—perhaps much longer—after Christ’s resurrection, continue to keep and observe these annual holy days given by God!

And just as the Sunday observer is inclined to look, at first, upon any argument for the weekly Sabbath with prejudice—as a heresy—and to examine every argument only in an attitude of attempting to refute it, so it will be only human—only natural for us, if we are not on our guard against it, to look upon any presentation of these annual sabbaths in the same spirit of prejudice.

But remember that “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him” (Proverbs 18:13).


Prior to the Law of Moses
In the 12th chapter of Exodus, while the children of Israel were still in Egypt—long before any of the law of Moses had been given—prior to the time when God revealed to Moses and the Israelites He would make the Old Covenant with them—we find God’s annual holy days being observed.

The Purpose of Holy Days
Now in like manner, when God gave His Church seven annual sabbaths, God, in His wisdom, had a great purpose. These days, too, were given to keep God’s children in the true memory and worship of God by keeping us constantly in the understanding of God’s great plan of redemption. For these annual days picture the different epochs in the plan of spiritual creation—mark the dispensations, and picture their meaning.

The whole story of spiritual regeneration was, in these feast days, to be reenacted year after year continually.
They have vitally important symbolism and meaning.

Such arguments as “The annual sabbaths are part of the law of Moses,” or “they offered sacrifices
on the annual sabbaths,” or “Colossians 2:16 does away with the annual sabbaths,” are not scriptural.

For the annual sabbaths were not part of the law of Moses, but were observed before the ritualistic ordinances
contained in the law of Moses were given. Sacrifices were offered on the weekly Sabbath, but this does not do
away with the Sabbath. In fact, sacrifices were offered on every day of the year (Numbers 28:3).

Colossians 2:16 refers not alone to the annual sabbaths, but to the annual days, the monthly new moons, and the weekly Sabbath. Whenever the Bible uses the expression “sabbath days” with new moons and holy days, it is referring to the weekly Sabbath days, the new moons and the annual holy days or feast days. The “sabbath days” of Colossians 2:16 refers to the weekly Sabbath. Compare 1Chronicles 23:31 with 2?Chronicles 2:4; 31:3; Ezra 3:5; Nehemiah 10:33 and Ezekiel 46:3.

If Colossians does away with the one, it also abolishes the other.
