Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 13 2008,19:29)Hi not3, Legalism surely refers to the harsh letter of the OT Law and not the freeing inner Law of the Spirit.The Law is not harsh unless you transgress it without repentance. The Inner Law of the Spirit is not harsh unless you transgress it without repentance.

Christians should understand the difference between the Sabbath and the Ceremonial Sabbath(s).

There were seven annual feasts in the Jewish ceremonial law which were called sabbaths, but which were distinct and different from the weekly Sabbath. All of these festivals pointed forward to Christ and His part in the plan of salvation. Below is a description of one of these feasts – the annual Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur.Lev 23:27-28, 3227…[Read more]

The fact becomes more evident in verses 16 and 17. Here Paul speaks about food and drink offerings and festivals and then he calls all of these things 'shadows of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.'

Did Paul or the other Apostles or Disciples abolish the Sabbath with their instructions or teachings?Col 2:14, 16-1714 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us and which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.16 Therefore let no one act as your judge in…[Read more]
