Afterthought
Puritan Board Senior
Galatians speaks against the use of Jewish holy days. The argument is then made: If celebration of days of God's appointing was spoken against, how much more so the days of men's appointing? However, the immediate context is about celebrating these days as necessary for salvation. It is then pointed out that Paul's language is general enough to condemn the days ("elements of the world") even if not celebrated as necessary for salvation?
Continuing on then: Given the immediate context, is one actually justified in applying Paul's strong language against those who attempt to celebrate pretended holy days today? Wouldn't the strong language be not so much because of will worship but because it was will worship being made necessary for salvation?
