Let No One Judge You: Sabbaths, Festivals, and Foods (Colossians 2:16-17)
Colossians 2:16-17 is often cited to argue that the Sabbath, festivals, and food laws are no longer relevant for believers, seen as "shadows" superseded by Christ, with Paul advising the Colossians not to let anyone judge them for disregarding these practices. However, an increasing number of New Testament scholars are challenging this interpretation. These scholars argue that the Colossians were not being judged for neglecting the Sabbath and festivals but were actually facing criticism for keeping them.
Is the Sabbath just a matter of personal preference? (Colossians 2:16; Romans 14:5)
Dewayne Dunaway has argued that God's command to keep the Sabbath no longer applies to Christians, and whether or not we should keep the Sabbath is just a matter of personal preference. This is my response.

A Shadow of Things to Come (Colossians 2:16-17)
