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. In this message we will 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 them adopting ascetic practices Hellenistic philosophy early forms of gnosticism and Jewish traditions 2.Humanly devised traditions they were elevating to the same level as God's commands. 👓 Find UCGRaleigh 👓 Locate a UCG church near you: ➤ http://ucg.org/congregations/ Donate to UCG Raleigh and help spread the word: ➤ https://www.patreon.com/ucgraleigh Follow UCG Raleigh ➤ https://www.facebook.com/UCGRaleigh.main.page ➤ https://twitter.com/UCGRaleigh Subscribe to the UCG Raleigh podcast on ➤ iTunes ▪▪▪ https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/united-church-of-god-raleigh/id1315758270 ➤ CastBox ▪▪▪ https://castbox.fm/channel/Weekly-Sabbath-Sermon-id1094811 Read this message on our blog - https://ucgraleigh.blogspot.com/2020/03/the-apostle-paul-and-biblical-holy-days.html
