(Hint: the term "statutes" in Deuteronomy 5: 1 is the Hebrew word Choq #2706 which is translated in many other places in the English Bible as "ordinance".)

Are there blessings AND curses associated with obedience versus disobedience to the 10 Commandments?

What did Paul mean in Colossians 2: 16-17?

(The following is regarding "meat" Greek word Brosis #1035 in Strong's Concordance: This meat can apply to perishable literal food OR to spiritual food… Since the New Covenant has many changes from perishable/literal things to now spiritual things and since Jesus preferred to convey a spiritual application rather than a superficial literal application in the book of John, I vote for the spiritual application. Therefore, looking at the only other instances in the New Testament where the Greek word Brosis is used for spiritual applications…)

• John 4: 32

• John 6: 27, 55

(The following is regarding "drink" Greek word Posis #4213 in Strong's Concordance: Looking at the only other times in the New Testament where Posis is used in a spiritual sense…)

• John 6: 55

(Regarding "holyday" Greek word Heorte #1859: "a festival:- feast, holyday")

• John 5: 1

(Regarding "the Sabbath" Greek word Sabbaton #4521 in the Strong's Concordance: "of Hebrew word #7676 The Sabbath or day of weekly repose from secular avocations also the observance or institution itself; by extension a sennight, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications:- sabbath day, week" Of note: In the New Testament, there is not any specific mention of annual sabbaths although some of the feasts ARE mentioned which did include sabbaths. Of note: The King James Version Bible indicates that the word "days" was added in later and not in original sources so I have left it out although it really wouldn't make any difference if it applied to the Sabbath which is coming at the end of THIS week or if it applied to the Sabbath coming at the end of EVERY week or if it applied to annual Sabbaths that come ONCE A YEAR.)

(Regarding the phrase "which are a shadow of things to come…" Did that say ARE or did it say WERE? Did that say THINGS TO COME or did that say THINGS THAT CAME? Who wrote Colossians and what was his position in the timeline of before or after the cross? If these beautiful symbols ARE currently foreshadowing things still TO COME, then who would dare to say they have already been abolished?)

(Regarding the phrase "but the body of Christ." According to the King James Version Bible, the word "is" was added in later and not in original sources… so that means to me that no human being is worthy to judge me EXCEPT the "Body of Christ" which is the church… as they are IN CHRIST and only if they are IN CHRIST! That is fair.)

Did Paul indeed think that the "Heorte" Holydays/feasts had been abolished or just some portion of them… such as the ceremonial law portion but not the moral law portion?
