sermonette: 'The Life That I Now Live'
Keeping the Holy Days Requires Faith
Martin G. Collins
Given 20-Mar-04; Sermon #656s; 14 minutes
Description: (hide)
Rebutting certain misguided theologian's attempts at discrediting God's holy days by misapplying Galatians 4: 8-10, Martin Collins explains the significance of "days, months, seasons, and years" as "weak and beggarly elements of the world." Paul's admonition to this Gentile congregation actually applied to their desire to return to the rank pagan religion they had been delivered from. These weak and beggarly elements were not even remotely connected with God's Holy Days, but instead referred to the practices brought into the church from pagan tradition - idolatrous superstitious holidays coupled with human reason, leading to abject bondage. Ironically, these days actually apply to observance of Christmas, Easter, Lent, etc., events embraced by false or apostasized Christianity, lacking the faith to leave these pagan traditions behind.
