I listen to Steve Gregg's "The Narrow Path" Q&A radio show often … he was very helpful in opening my eyes to the nonsense taught in the local churches. One day he gave an answer to a question regarding what is a type or shadow? He said "A shadow is not the reality of a thing … a shadow is in a sense darkness (the absence of light). Consider this if the physical ground of locality (the city - like Jerusalem) is just a type or shadow the local church members are taking a stand in darkness. 1 John 1:5 states … God is light and in him is no darkness at all. How can you Abide in the Vine if you are taking a stand on/in darkness. James 1:17 when talking about God the Father says … with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. For a Christian to take a stand on a shadow (i.e. the physical city) while simultaneously criticizing another Christian for taking a stand on a shadow (i.e. Sabbath day) is the HIGH PEAK OF HYPOCRISY. I took the picture posted here to a meeting one day and some of the local church members understood my point … some of the others saw it and had fire and brimstone coming out of their ears and nostrils. It appears that a picture is truly worth a thousand words …
