"So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ." Col. 2:16-17.
This was from post #14 but other posts talk about the shadow of things also - so I guess my question is If people who refer to this shadow seem to be talking about things being done away with from the Old Testament - Why does this verse above from the New Testament talking about different issues such as food, drink, festivals, new moons or Sabbaths say ARE a shadow of things to come instead of WERE a shadow of things to come? From that verse my understanding is that all items mentioned are still of importance in the New Testament?? Just wondering.
