Colossians 2:16
Let no one therefore judge you in eating or drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,

If you died with Christ from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
Colossians 2:21
“Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
Colossians 2:22
(all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?

As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
Colossians 2:14
wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
