Bible Note: Daughter, Forgive one error in my last post. For some reason my mind leaped to 1 tim 4:3 while I was posting and the marriage statment I mentioned was from that. Doesn't affect the totality of the post but it was an error and needs to be admited. I'm not actually sure how to edit one of my posts or if you can. But since I'm posting again, I think even more relevent than what I said previously is the "Therefore" which begins col 2:16. The immediate context is verses 14 and 15(actually one sentence in the greek). "having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against uswhich was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross, when He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him." So the REASON that nobody can judge us with regards to a festival or sabbath (v16) is because Christ has but an end to the decrees which WERE PREVIOUSLY hostile to us, the old testament expectations in the law. Given this context, and given that verse 18 seems to move on from old testament things hostile to us, onto asceticism or things coming from visions, which in reality is the context for the human commands statement, it seems that context is clearly in favor of this being old testament festivals he refers to iin 16.
