Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day

The Weekly Sabbath is a Sabbath Day is it not?
But not the ONLY sabbath day of rest mentioned.
Obviously Paul is talking about holy days, new moon sabbaths and other sabbath days associated with those same Mosaic Law celebrations. They were "dated" holidays and never fell on the same day of the week year after year.

But he does not specifically include the 7th day sabbath in this group.
The sabbath day of the 4th commandment is one of the 10 commandments.

The only way to get rid of one of God's 10 commandments is to do away with that entire law.

Do you even know what each of those 10 commandments are?
 
That’s irrelevant. The topic is Colossians 2:16.
Not at all irrelevant. Col 2:16 does not specifically state he is talking about the 7th day sabbath.
But obviously the other sabbath days of rest associated with their Jewish holidays, feast days and new moon sabbaths.

But Lev 23:3 is obviously taking about the 4th commandment NOT those other sabbath days.

He doesn't make the reservation you are making. That is, he doesn't qualify the Sabbath as High Sabbaths as you suggest.

You made this post earlier:
I agree.
And there is no evidence in Col 2:16 that Paul is talking about the weekly 7th day sabbath here.
So whatever Leviticus says is irrelevant. The topic is Colossians 2:16. The plain text does not suggest anything other than the weekly sabbath. Your argument is that because there are other kinds of sabbath events mentioned in Leviticus, that Paul means something else. You are the one who must prove your assertion, and you haven’t done so.

But I have shown Col 2:16 is talking about feast days, holidays, new moons.
You just refuse to see what is staring right at your face.
Please show that Paul is specifically referring to the 7th day sabbath here.

NVM, you can't. The text does not specify that it is.....

And you are stating something that you can defend with equal weight… nothing.
