Many people use Colossians 2:16-17 "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: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.", as a proof text for not observing the 4th commandment, "Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."
This video will use scripture to show that Colossians is not speaking of the weekly Sabbath.
@GHfortheTruth Thay's exactly right. And someone who keeps Suday as a holy day of worship to the Lord does not make him/her a Catholic.

@calvinclemons030 Was Jesus and his apostles SDA's? They kept the sabbath. Because someone keeps the Lord's Sabbath, that does not make him a SDA.

@calvinclemons030 I have heard this before . "That the early church worship on Sunday before Constantine made it a law."
You say this also, but like everyone else, you provide no proof or scripture to back up what you say.
I would like to see scripture that backs up your theory.

@calvinclemons030 Jn.11:9 is only talking about the day time hours. If you will look in the next verse it talks about the night.

@ejvandijk Thank you for directing me to the article.It explains it better than I ever could. It seems some will place an emphasis on an allegory when it should be literal, and a literal interpretation where it should be allegory. I believe KJ is mistaken and is not purposely trying to deceive anyone, though he is deceived thru lack of historical and Biblical study. Sunday worship did not start with whoreish Catholicism, the early church worshipped on Sunday for 140yrs. before R.Cath.

@The Truth Sir, your insinuating that Roman Catholicism started Sunday worship. This is a faulty assumption. The early Christian church were worshipping on Sunday almost two centuries before Constantine stared that whoreish religion in 318ad. Then u use circular reasoning when I show u Scripture on how God counted, and say"ought we not do the same" when earlier U said ".It ought not to be an issue how men like to count.I go by how God does."Keeping the Sabbath or not cannot save you.

I read an article by the apologetic John Gilchrist called "What Indeed Was the Sign of Jonah?" on answering-islam that exp'lains the matter with the right background information so that you know the context in witch these words were spoken. Read for instance Esther 4:16 - 5:1 to understand the Hebrew meaning of the third day.

I just re-watched your video, and it would seem that your a Seventh Day Adventist. There are many flavors of the SDA, and hardly any agree with the other. This is not a personal attack, just an observation of and from what you are arguing. If one wants to keep anyday unto the Lord as being a holyday, we have the free will and grace toi do so. If one chooses not to keep a day holy unto God, then that person will have to answer to God on Judgment Day as to why he didn't do so. Works cannot save U.

@KJTheTruth Here is where you add to what Jesus Christ said. John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day?... Your asuuming from a your own preconceived ideas that he meant only the daytime and we have infer that He was talking of something He didn't say. This is dangerous ground your treading my friend. One ought never to add or take away from the words of God. The evening and the morning were the first day.Now how many hours are from the evening till the morning?

@KJTheTruth That's right. Jesus Christ was dead and buried on Fri, before the sun went down, which started the Sabbath. That's 1 day. Sat after the sunset was two days. anytime on the third day which was Sun. when The Lord Jesus Christ Arose was three days. That's how God has always counted time. There was evening and morning, Read Gen 1:5,8,13,19 23 31. What is so hard about this? What is the crux of the argument? This is not rocket science.
