The Apostle Paul and the Biblical Holy Days


Listen Later

The Apostle Paul and the Holy DaysPaul’s epistles are often referred to by those who wish to teach the cancellation of the laws of God in general... and the holy days in particular. Among the commandments and laws of God the holy days are singled out for special attention due to three specific statements found in: Colossians 2:14-17, Romans 14:5-6, and Galatians 4:8-10. Today we are going to carefully read our way through these statements and use their context to show that Paul's statements were not negatively targeting the observance of the annual holy days but rather:1. The manner in which members of the church were keeping them2. Humanly devised traditions they were elevating to the same level as God's commands. When considering Paul's statements about observing days it is important to remember that Paul himself writes about keeping the Passover and days of unleavened bread himself with the Corinthian congregation [ 1 Corinthians 5, 11]. He offered that congregation a lot of correction regarding the manner in which they observed the biblical festivals... but never gave them any indication he wanted them to stop celebrating and observing them.
