Galatianism and/or Judaizing

"Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a estival or a new moon or a Sabbath day" Colossians 2:16

This is a very interesting verse. Do you remember being taught about Venn diagrams, where you have overlapping circles? This is a literary example of it.

More literally translated (and structured to show what is going on) it would be:

"Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to your eating and drinking
on (lit. the Greek "en merei" reads "in that part of")
the feast days or a new moon or ceremonial sabbath days (the Day of Atoinement and the blowing of trumpets, which weren't feast days)

The law and its ordinances was nailed to the cross.

It was the record of our sins (cheirographon, in Col. 2:14) that was nailed to the Cross. That's why we don't do sacrificies any more. The Moral Law remains to point out to us that we are sinners and in need of a Saviour and to point us to Christ.

They were hardly led by the Holy Spirit as they seriously contradicted each other.

I've never seen any proof of that, care to share?
