Well... HalleluYah! there is progress...yes they ARE still shadows...
However we are EXACTLY to take a public stand is why Paul is saying let no man judge you...others have to know your stance before they can judge you...and in this text Paul is encouraging the new converts to NOT let others judge or to discourage them, rob them, persuade them NOT to follow these shadowss that point to the good things to come...
ok? So let no man judge you BUT THE BODY OF CHRIST...so no regular humans but the church...it judges or rules or determines what was established by Him not other men...
So basically it is saying don't let Squeaky rob you of your reward with his not of the body of Christ rulings...
I said
ROFLOL Not even you could believe that garbage. Jesus changed the law, Jesus made a new covenant, Jesus annulled the commandments, Jesus nailed any requirements to the cross.
Col 2:14-17
14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,
17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.
(NKJ)
Heb 7:12
12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.
(NKJ)
Heb 7:18
18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness,
(NKJ)
Heb 8:13
13 In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
(NKJ)
Now remember if you keep any part of the old testament that Jesus hasn't brought over to the new testament you will fall from grace.
Gal 5:1-4
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
(NKJ)
clefty you are one of the antichrists
I Jn 2:18
18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
(NKJ)
