Paul Does Not Condemn the Biblical Calendar in Galatians 4:10 | A Response to Steven Anderson
In Galatians 4:8–11, Paul rebukes the Galatians for observing “days and months and seasons and years.” What exactly does Paul mean by this phrase? The standard antinomian view, represented by Pastor Steven Anderson, is that this is a reference to the biblical calendar outlined in the Law of Moses. Thus, Paul is condemning the observance of the Sabbath and biblical festivals, or so the argument goes. But is that really what this passage teaches? In this video, we take a closer look at the context and historical background of Galatians 4:10. In contrast to Pastor Anderson, I contend that Paul is not chastising the Galatians for observing the biblical calendar, but for something entirely different.
