What did Paul really mean when he said, “Let no one judge you” regarding food, drink, festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths?
Colossians 2 is often used to argue that the biblical dietary instructions, Sabbath, and appointed times were abolished. But is that actually what Paul was teaching—or have we misunderstood his words by removing them from their first-century context?
In this teaching, Jim Staley breaks down Colossians 2 and examines the historical and biblical background behind Paul’s warning. Discover who was judging the believers in Colossae, what practices Paul was confronting, and why understanding the context changes the way we read this controversial passage.
Before using Colossians 2 to determine what Paul believed about God’s instructions, we need to understand what was actually happening in Colossae.
Open your Bible and follow along as we decode one of the most misunderstood chapters in the New Testament.
