Does Colossians 2:16,17 Abolish the Sabbath?

[phkrause]

“Therefore let no one judge you in food or drink, or with regard to [lit. “in a part of”] a feast, or new moon, or Sabbaths. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; but the body of Christ [is the reality]” (Col. 2:16, 17).

I read the article you provided the link for and it makes a lot of sense. Here is the author’s conclusion:

“Colossians 2:16, 17 neither abolishes nor establishes either the Sabbath or any other feast. It simply does not address their continuity or discontinuity. The five pieces of evidence outlined above demonstrate persuasively that the only thing the text establishes is that we no longer need to offer sacrifices, because our precious Savior Jesus Christ offered His body on the cross for us. That is good news indeed.”
