Colossians 2:14 says that Christ blots out those ordinances that were against us and he nailed them to the cross.
In Colossians 2:16-17 (still talking about the ordinances that have been blotted out): We are told not to allow anyone to judge us according to Sabbath days. Back in the Old Testament, you could be judged and even executed for disobeying the Sabbath. In the OT, a man collected sticks on the Sabbath, and he was killed. So things have changed. We are told not to let anyone judge us according to the Sabbath days (Which would include the weekly Saturday Sabbath). This means the Saturday Sabbath is no longer a binding command because we are not to allow anyone to judge us according to the Sabbath days.
Romans 14:5 says some regard all days the same and some regard one day over another. This is in regards to what a person considers to be a holy day of reverence for God. Some think they should reverence all days as being holy for God and others think it is the Saturday Sabbath and others think it is Sunday. The fact that Paul does not emphasize how we are to keep the Saturday Sabbath, and he says let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind on this matter suggests that the Saturday Sabbath command is no longer binding anymore.
IMHO
To blot out seems to mean it is no longer held against us by preventing us from reconciliation, not that we shouldnt willfully follow the commandments.
It is not saying we should forsake them, it is saying that the Cross removed the damnation of sinning against it.
God will never contradict His commandments.
