I was thinking that about you. Easy to falsely accuse someone of doing what you do huh?
The context of Col 2 is about the ceremonial laws with verse 16 being the ceremonial sabbaths. You want people to think it means the 7th day sabbath. It does not.
Perhaps you do not understand that the 10 commandment law HAS NO CEREMONIAL SABBATHS IN IT?

I guess you are forgetting day 7 of creation week was God's day of rest from His 6-day work week.
No ceremonial laws even existed at that time....

I don't see why it is so hard to understand. The Levitical laws figuratively pointed to Jesus on the cross for remission of sins.
NOTHING in the 10 commandment law talks about remission from sin, or animal sacrifices, circumcision, temple services, etc.

It's a list of DOs and DON'Ts.....

Nothing in Col 2 says it's about ceremonial laws. Paul certainly could've said they were ceremonial in nature, non-cyclical, or some other description that would allow us to conclude he was limiting to just those. But he did not. The only way you can read it that way is if you come to the text with a preconceived interpretation.

On the contrary, EVERYTHING it mentions is Col 2 is about the ceremonial laws.

I have already posted the examples above.
Yet you are unwilling to see them.
