Col 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:


Lots of people try and use Col 2:16 to do away with or say the Sabbath Day is just a shadow of Jesus him self. We know for a fact that the Sabbath was made before sin. Why would God need to point to Jesus by some Sabbath day if there is no sin in the world at the point of creation.? It was not until sin came in the world that we even needed Jesus to save us. The Sabbath was made for Man to enjoy. And we still can enjoy it today! A time to put aside work and our troubles. The mane reason we keep the Sabbath Holy is it has been Holy from the time of creation. Not only that its there to help us remember who created it to start with. The very 10 commandment it self Says "Remember"!

Sabbath days. Gr. sabbata. This may represent either a genuine plural of the Gr. sabbaton or a transliteration of the Aramaic shabbata’, a singular form. Hence sabbata, though grammatically plural in form, may and often does represent a singular (Matt. 28:1; etc.). Either form may be adopted here, for the interpretation of the passage does not depend upon whether the reading is “sabbath days,” or “a sabbath.” The type of sabbath under consideration is shown by the phrase “which are a shadow of things to come” (Col. 2:17). The weekly Sabbath is a memorial of an event at the beginning of earth’s history (Gen. 2:2, 3; Ex. 20:8–11; PP 48). Hence, the “sabbath days” Paul declares to be shadows pointing to Christ cannot refer to the p 206 weekly Sabbath designated by the fourth commandment, but must indicate the ceremonial rest days that reach their realization in Christ and His kingdom (see Lev. 23:6–8, 15, 16, 21, 24, 25, 27, 28, 37, 38).

Don't keep Sunday as your sabbath if you have eyes to see. There is only one Sabbath day. If you want to keep going to church on Sunday that's fine just don't call it a sabbath nor treat it like one. Man made Sunday a day of worship so don't let a tradition make Gods law of none effect. Mat 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
