Real or Shadow?

Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 

These are still the same things religious self righteous people will judge you by.  Why?  Because they really dont have a lot going for them in their hearts toward God.  There is no change in their lives.  All they have to invest in is outward optics!  What appears holy or righteous must validate them.  None of these things could or will make one righteous.  They are actually all shadows of Who is to come, Jesus!  They are tutors to open up thought and dialogue about what they actually mean.  They are like parables that Jesus gave.  An earthly well known example that are to inspire questions about what they mean?  And its in those questions, you will find the answer in Christ.  Its hard to focus a conversation with one of these self righteous fools when all they want to talk about is how you took the mark of the beast because you worship on Sunday instead of Saturday!  Its easy to get weighted down by the legalistic arguments made and miss the substance of Christ.  I have made the choice to not argue these things anymore but to put the focus on Christ at all costs, with all my resources, with all my intellect, and most of all, in all humility walking after the Spirit of God in love & truth.
