Well that is not true at all and only shows you have not read the OP and the scriptures from God's Word.
A few points to consider when referring to shadow laws. A shadow is referred to as such in the NT because it was or is a part of an UNFINISHED WORK. Correct? This is the case if you look at the OP scriptures you will see many OT requirements from the Mosaic laws for remission of SIN including many of the sacrificial SIN offerings and ceremonial Sanctuary laws as well as many of the annual Jewish festivals having their fulfillment in Christ because they all pointed to something that was or is to come. In reference all the above were to teach God's people His plan of salvation through Jesus.
Well that is a simple enough explanation of the shadow Mosaic laws for remission of sin. There is scripture support in the OP for those interested.
The Old Covenant consisted of God's Law (10 commandments) and the Mosaic laws for remission of sin. Together they made up the Old Covenant. Both sets of laws that made of the Old Covenant has a specific role and purpose to play in the plan of salvation for God's people under the Old Covenant. For example..........
(1) God’s Law (10 commandments to identify sin and righteousness)
Purpose; reveals what sin and righteousness (right doing) is and the describes the penalty for sin (Romans 3:20; 1 John 3:4; Romans 6:23). It was never a cure for sin. But it was the work of God which is forever and the foundation of the Old Covenant, the New Covenant and the Judgement to come. (Exodus 32:16; Exodus 31:18; 31:18; Exodus 20:1-22; Deuteronomy 10:5; Romans 3:20; 1 John 3:4; Romans 6:23; Hebrews 7:19; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, James 2:10-12, 1 John 3:4, Acts 17:31; Ps 111:7-8; Revelation 12:17; 14:12; 22:14; 1 John 3:5-8; 1 John 2:3-4; Ecclesiastes 3:14)
(2) The laws of Moses (Levitical, ceremonial, sacrificial for remission and forgiveness of sin)
Purpose; was the prescriptive cure for sin with all the Levitical and ceremonial laws, burnt offerings for sin, annual feast days foretelling the plan of salvation which were connected to Feast days with New Moon sabbaths, food and drink offerings and other Holy days. These where all types pointing to Jesus and the plan of salvation and provided a cure for sin through animal sacrifice and food and drink offerings and yearly sin atonement's for God’s people. (Leviticus 1:1-13; Leviticus 23:1-44; Numbers 28:1-31; 29:1-40; Deuteronomy 24:10-11; Exodus 24:3; Deuteronomy 31:24-26; Colossians 2:16-16; Hebrews 10:1; Ephesians 2:14-15; Leviticus 4; 5; 6; Hebrews 4:14; 9;10; John 1:29; not exhaustive there are many more).
Why were the ceremonial laws of Moses (handwriting of ordinances) nailed to the cross and shadows of things to come......
Jesus was our true sacrifice for our sins and the Savior of the world that the ceremonial laws of Moses all pointed to. When Jesus came and died the old Covenant laws of Moses that pointed to Jesus and the plan of salvation was fulfilled (John 1:29; 36; Revelation 5:6; 1 Corinthians 5:6-7; Hebrews 8:2-13; 9:1-28). Jesus is our true Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world and our sacrifice for our sins. It is our sins as well as the ceremonial laws of Moses that were nailed to the cross at the death of Jesus (Colossians 2:14; Ephesians 2:15; John 3:16).
Now as the Mosaic laws for remission of sin were Shadows of things to come God’s Law is FOREVER and shown in God’s Word…….
God's LAW (10 commandments) are FOREVER
The Law of God (10 commandments) which includes the 4th commandment is the work of God (Exodus 32:16) whatsoever God does is forever nothing can be added to it or taken away (Ecclesiastes 3:14). God's Law is perfect converting the soul (Psalms 19:7). It is the very standard of the Old and New Covenants (Exodus 20:1:17, Hebrews 8:10-12). God's Law was spoken by God himself to His people (Exodus 20:1-22). Jesus says Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away (Matthew 25:35). Gods Law is still in force today (Psalms 111:7-8, Revelation 12:17, 14:12, 22:14, 1 John 3:5-8, 1 John 2:3-4 etc.). The Law of God reveals sin to us so we can see ourselves as we truly are sinners in need of a Saviour (Romans 3:20; 1 John 3:4). It is the great standard of the judgement (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, James 2:10-12, 1 John 3:4, Acts 17:31). God's Law is our teacher revealing sin and the character of God and brings us to Christ at the foot of the cross that we might be saved by faith by Him who loves us and washed us in His own blood (Galatians 3:24; Revelation 1:5).
So if God's 4th commandment which is one of the 10 commandments and the 10 commandments are FOREVER and a part of the OLD Covenant as well as the NEW Covenant as well as the Judgement to come. Then it is clear that God's 4th commandment 7th DAY weekly SABBATH CANNOT be a SHADOW of anything and if we KNOWINGLY and WILLFULLY break it just like any other of God's 10 commandments we stand guilty before God or committing SIN. (James 2:8-12; Romans 7:7; Romans 3:20; 1 John 3:4)
Now let's look at it a little more by looking at the creation week and the origin of God's 4th commandment and see further why God's 4th commandment cannot be a shadow of anything.........
The Sabbath WAS given for ALL mankind to keep let’s look at the scriptures from Genesis, Exodus and what Jesus say in the New Testament…..
Genesis 2
1, Thus the heavens and the earth
WERE FINISHED, and all the host of them.
2, And
ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK which he had made; and he RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY from ALL HIS WORK which he had made.
3, And GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY, and made it HOLY <the 7th day>: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Some points to note from the scriptures...............
v1 God FINISHED AND COMPLETED ALL HIS WORK IN RELATION TO CREATION and RESTED on the 7TH DAY
v2 God RESTED on the 7TH DAY
v3 God SET APART the 7TH DAY and made THE 7TH DAY a HOLY DAY
v2 The 7TH DAY is part of the
FINISHED WORK of the CREATION WEEK
Now who did God make the 7th day a Holy day for? Is he making that day a Holy day for himself? Of course NOT God is already Holy. He has made the day for MANKIND as a HOLY DAY.
Let’s see what Jesus says…………
Mark 2
27, And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath
The Sabbath was made for WHO? The Sabbath was made for MAN
STRONGS Greek
MAN G444 ἄνθρωποςanthropos (
an'-thrō-pos)
n.
1. (literally) man†-visage (i.e. a man-faced being, a man who has visibly come of age).
2. (concretely, in Hebrew) a clay being (a classification of beings made in the image of God, who made them male and female).
3. (generically, in English) a human being.
4. (indefinitely) a certain man (i.e. someone).
[from
G435 and ops “the countenance” (from
G3700)]
KJV: certain, man
Root(s):
G435,
G3700
So the Sabbath was made for Human beings; clay beings (we are made out of the dust); male and female
So God made the 7th day of the week a HOLY day and blessed it for MANKIND this now ties in very nicely with Exodus……….
Exodus 20
8, Remember the SABBATH DAY, to KEEP IT HOLY. <Why? Because God made it Holy for mankind and commands us to keep it as a Holy day)
9, Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
10, But the SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH of the LORD thy God:
God says that His SABBATH is a specific day which is the 7TH DAY OF THE WEEK that he has made to be a HOLY DAY. Jesus says
it was made Holy in the creation week for mankind. All scriptures connect and are in harmony. Genesis where God made the Day a HOLY DAY; God’s 4th commandment to His people that says to REMEMBER the Sabbath day to KEEP it a HOLY DAY as a reminder that we worship the only true God of creation and Jesus stating that the Sabbath was made for MANKIND (Human beings; male and female).
We have already show that God's LAWS (the 10 commandments) are FOREVER so cannot be a shadow of anything and the Mosaic laws for remission of SIN where shadow laws. Now let's bring the scriptures from the creation week and God's 7th DAY SABBATH commandment together and give you something else to think about from the creation week........
Q. Was the work of creation and the 7th Day SABBATH a part of a
FINISHED WORK or an
UNFINISHED WORK?
A. Gen 2:1-2 says that the God's creation and his REST is part of a
FINISHED WORK; GOD COMPLETE ALL THE WORK OF CREATION
Q. Now was the
FINISHED WORK OF THE CREATION WEEK BEFORE SIN and the fall of mankind
or AFTER the fall of man?
A. Gen 3 SIN did not enter the WORLD until AFTER the FINISHED WORK of CREATION!
Q. NOW if God's SABBATH IS PART OF THE FINISHED WORK of CREATION how can it be a shadow if it is already FINISHED?
A. GOD'S SABBATH CANNOT BE A SHADOW OF ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS PART OF A DIFFERENT WORK. It is part of the FINISHED WORK of creation BEFORE SIN. IT IS NOT PART OF THE PLAN OF SALVATION because it was made BEFORE SIN ENTERED the world. IT IS PART OF THE FINISHED WORK OF CREATION therefore it is impossible for it to be a Shadow for REMISSION OF SIN because there was NO SIN when it was made and given to mankind.
Hope this helps those that have not read the OP and are interested in God's Word.
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten ( Exodus 20:8-11 ) and like any of the ten, if we knowingly break it when God ask s us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
There is not one scripture in ALL of God's WORD that says God's 4th commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to worship God on Sunday in it's place.
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
