In part is the the same asme as when Paul teaches how if we act with a clear conscience in the sight of God, no one may fault us (judge us).
The biggest hukrdle for most toovercome is understanding obedience under grace. The moment it is brought up, some scream "under the law," being ignorant of the Word. The Holy Spirit has shown us the law under grace for it is placed in our inward parts and written on our minds. We know how to obey lawfully while living under grace, but do not try to explain this to those who cannot get beyond the milk of the Word..........they will eventually.
Praise God always, and never teach grace as license to be disobedient..........

So this passage is a very interesting one and I wanted to get different views and state my own;
Colossians 2:16-23, "16 Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body [is] of the Christ; 18 let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and [in] worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh, 19 and not holding the head, from which all the body — through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together — may increase with the increase of God. 20 If, then, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances? 2 thou may not touch, nor taste, nor handle — 22 which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men, 23 which are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body — not in any honor, unto a satisfying of the flesh."
