Yes it does -
16 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:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Nope. No it doesn't. Ignoring God's WORD does not make it disappear. If you disagree. please respond to all the scriptures that disagree with you in
posts # 472 and
post # 473 showing the within scripture and chapter CONTEXT which is the laws in ORDINANCES from the MOSAIC BOOK of the OLD COVENANT *
EXODUS 24:7. v16 is talking about the annual FEAST DAYS and the ceremonial sabbaths <PLURAL>.
First this is a list separated by comas.
Secondly sabbaths is most likely used because of the frequency of the day.
Thirdly this is the same list of holy days appearing in Lev 23 and else where in Scripture. No I'm not mixing anything.
First mainly because we have a new covenant that doesn't include your or any shadow laws. Jesus offers to sabbath keeping Jews something they can't get from the periodic celebration of the weekly sabbath in Mat 11:28-30. The sabbath doesn't give this rest.
Rubbish. The commas used in COLOSSIANS 2:16 is not separate topics in the one sentance it is following the same collective thought and topic from v11-17 and that is the SHADOW laws in ORDINANCES from the MOSAIC BOOK of the OLD COVENANT *EXODUS 24:7 not God's ETERNAL LAW that gives us the KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is in the NEW COVENANT *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4.
In COLOSSIANS 2:16 Paul is quoting from the OLD testament scriptures as shown above in
posts # 472 and
post # 473. It is shown very plainly that v16 is talking about the ORDINANCES in FEAST days which included the ceremonial sabbaths <plural> connected to;
Annual festival of The blowing of trumpet (
Leviticus 23:24); Annual Day of Atonement; (
Leviticus 23:32); Annual Feast of tabernacles (
Leviticus 23:39)
COLOSSIANS 2:16 [16] Let no man therefore judge you in
MEAT, or in DRINK, or in respect of an
HOLYDAY [FEASTIVALS], or of the
NEW MOON, or of the
SABBATH DAYS <plural>:
PAUL'S within scriptures CONTEXT and use of
COLOSSIANS 2:16-17 is in reference to the OLD TESTAMENT scriptures.
EZEKIEL 45:17 [17] And it shall be the prince's part to give
BURNT OFFERINGS, and
MEAT OFFERINGS, and DRINK OFFERINGS, in the
FEASTS, and in the
NEW MOONS, and in the
SABBATHS, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
These "SPECIAL" Sabbath could fall on any day and were connected directly to these festivals that were prophetic in nature pointing to Jesus and God's plan of Salvation in the NEW COVENANT.
NEED MORE SCRIPTURE?
Your mixing up God's SHADOW laws in ORDINANCES with God's ETERNAL LAW (10 Commandments) which in the NEW COVENANT gives us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTOUESNESS *
ROMANS 3:20;
ROMANS 7:7;
1 JOHN 3:4 and leads us to Christ that we might be forgiven by faith *
GALATIANS 3:22-25;
ROMANS 8:1-4.
Secondly sabbaths is most likely used because of the frequency of the day.
That is not the case at all. The HEBREW WORD for SABBATH which the GREEK word comes from is שׁבּת; shabbâth from H7673; intermission, that is, (specifically) the Sabbath: - (+ every) sabbath.
The HEBREW word for SABBATH is EVERY SABBATH. Paul was a Hebrew *PHILIPPIANS 3:5 and spoke HEBREW *ACTS 21:40, If he mean't God's 4th Commandment he would have said SABBATH not sabbaths or sabbath days <plural>.
The Greek translation of the HEBREW word for SABBATH is σάββατον; sabbaton; Of Hebrew origin [H7676]; the Sabbath (that is, Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension a se'nnight, that is, the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications: - sabbath (day), week.
So the Greek Word has many meanings depending on the CONTEXT that it is being applied.
So the CONTEXT of application can give the Greek word SABBATON a different meanings which can mean any one of the 5 Greek definitions of Sabbath (SABBATON) which can mean;
1, The Sabbath
2, A rest day from working
3, The interval between two Sabbaths (e.g. any day between one Sabbath to another)
4, Plural in all application of Sabbath day, week
5, WEEK (Seven days)
Depending on the CONTEXT and scripture application of the Greek word use.
As shown above already the in COLOSSIANS 2:16 the CHAPTER CONTEXT of COLOSSIANS 2:11-16 is to the SHADOW laws in ORDINANCES v11-14 and the withing scripture CONTEXT of COLOSSIANS 2:16 is to the ORDINANCES in the FEAST days and ceremonial sabbaths <plural> connected to FEASTS not God's 4th Commandment. In COLOSSIANS 2:16 it is very clear that PAUL is referencing EZEKIEL 45:17-25 of the SHADOW laws in ORDINANCES from FEAST DAYS e.g.
COLOSSIANS 2:16 [16] Let no man therefore judge you in
MEAT, or in DRINK, or in respect of an
HOLYDAY [FEASTIVALS], or of the
NEW MOON, or of the
SABBATH DAYS <plural>:
PAUL'S within scriptures CONTEXT and use of
COLOSSIANS 2:16-17 is in reference to the OLD TESTAMENT scriptures.
EZEKIEL 45:17 [17] And it shall be the prince's part to give
BURNT OFFERINGS, and
MEAT OFFERINGS, and DRINK OFFERINGS, in the
FEASTS, and in the
NEW MOONS, and in the
SABBATHS, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
As shown earlier through the scriptures these "SPECIAL" Sabbath could fall on any day and were connected directly to these festivals that were prophetic in nature pointing to Jesus and God's plan of Salvation in the NEW COVENANT.

Hope this helps.
