If you play the audio, the man even mentions the CoG7 and some pastor in Canada.
At around 2:30 he begins talking about "equipping" his listeners with points, making notes in their Bibles and cross-references, that they could use "against" the CoG7 to show their teaching.
"Common objections to the Feast Days"
December 31, 2014 by Ronald Dart
A thorough examination of 3 scriptures commonly used to claim the Holy Days have been done away. Galatians 4:9-10, Ephesians 2:15, Colossians 2:14-16. You cannot make a distinction in the law (including The Holy Days, Sabbath, the law of Moses, the ceremonial laws, and even the Ten Commandments), throwing some out and keeping others; they all stand or fall together. Subjects: The temple as a stage for God’s plan; nailed to the cross; Numbers 5 blotting out; Numbers 6 vows; “where God places His name”.
The man dissects Ephesians 2:15, “Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace;”
(audio transcript excerpts)
38:10 "what I understand this to say, dogmas, Jewish laws", "... I would have thought..." (and that's the problem with man, man "thinks")
39:10 "what I understand to read here... rendered it meaningless the difference between Jew and gentile, what the Jews had created over many years (?), by HUMAN ORDINANCES AND DOGMAS AND TRADITIONS AND DECREES, which THEY (?) had created which men ought to keep and it says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT ANY PART! OF THE LAW OF GOD!"</39:31>
39:32 "But whatever you may conclude about this verse, there really is no way to make it say that the holy days were abolished, because in order to do that you would have to establish that they were commandments contained in ordinances, and the problem with that is when you go back to the old testament and start trying to figure out what is an ordinance and what is not an ordinance it is an absolutely hopeless task, and you'll find yourself bogged down in the quicksand of confusion very quickly if you do." 39:55
But didn't they in Berea search the scriptures daily whether those things were so??? notice they searched the scriptures daily, not man's philosophy daily.
The man says it's an "absolutely hopeless task". What, so don't bother trying, praying for guidance from the good LORD and letting HIM lead us? Is the man saying that he already knows and that his listeners needn't bother checking those things out for themselves, to see if we're all of one accord?
