Disclaimer: I hold to the Confession's position on the Sabbath. I am not bashing the confessions. But I hear this objection to sabbatarianism a lot.

Colossians 2:16Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

Now, could we evade the argument by saying that these are ceremonial elements of the Sabbath, while the Sabbath itself as normative is still intact?
