*Paul's writings and the Sabbath*

Let's consider the following verses.


"One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks". Rom.14:5,6.

"But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years." Gal. 4:9,10

"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." Col. 2:16,17
I believe this has been the quote that most Christians uses to defend themselves concerning worship on Sunday.

My friends who worship on the first day of the week. I believe we all know that Sunday as a day of worship to Almighty God had not started then and so the argument couldn't have been whether to worship on Sabbath or Sunday. ( if you're in doubt of that we are at the era of Internet. You can browse and actually know when Sunday worship started). But even at that if Paul was referring to day of worship all of us including himself would have been guilty because when you worship on Sunday you esteem it higher than other days.
But on the contrary, Paul was still referring to the ceremonial laws and ceremonial sabbaths, pointing to Christ. They Paul regarded as "shadows of things to come".
These you can see clearly stated in the book of Lev. 23 from verse 4 down.
These Sabbaths include:
� The first and last days of the feast of Unleavened bread, the Day of Pentecost, the feast of Trumpets, the Day of atonement, and the first and last days of the feast of Tabernacles ( Lev. 23: 7,8,21,24,25,27,28,35,36)
All these Sabbath's were totally different from the weekly Sabbath ( Lev. 23:3)
These were the ceremonies and Sabbaths that Paul was referring to. Remember that these days were public holidays in the Jewish nations and the Jews wanted the Christians to observe them and this prompted Paul to write what he wrote.
