here is an interesting thought from disciplemike who has responded here and who represents the Hebrew Roots movement; it would seem that is also the movement the op belongs to, considering what she writes about law
this, is how he interprets Colossians 2:16. he does not agree with what it plainly states, but decides that Paul meant the opposite
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Col 2:16
If you read in context, Shaul is telling the believers to not let people judge them because THEY ARE observing God's commandments, not the other way around. Back up to verse 8 and dig out the context.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Colossians 2:8 (KJV)
God's commandments are not "the philosophy of men", and "vain deceit" or "the rudiments of the world"
but rather be like Christ, "after Christ", meaning to obey the Father's commandments, just like He did!!!!

just no disciplemike. just no. that is NOT what Paul was saying, but typical of the twisting your group engages in in order to justify the lifestyle you have chosen that really is not acceptable.
if it were acceptable, then Jesus would not have had to die for our sins
that thread is still running and you can find it titled 'so what about the 4th commandment?'
