"No one", in that passage, refers to people outside the Body of Messiah. Look at the context of Colossians 2. In verses 4 and 8 Paul warns the Colossians about deceivers. Then again, in verse 18, Paul gives his final warning about these same deceivers. In what way were they trying to deceive the Colossians? Verse 8 tells us that they were trying to exalt the traditions of men over the Messiah (verses 8 & 19). Notice carefully the context; the traditions of men in verse 8, 18, and 22. The verses that occur between 8 and 22 must be understood based on the context of the traditions of men.
It was the deceivers of verses 4,8, and 18 that were judging the Colossians regarding the things mentioned in verse 16. They had been imposing their man-made commandments and traditions upon the Colossians. Paul told them not to allow anyone to judge them concerning those matters. An important addition was made in the KJV that does not appear in any Greek manuscript. The word "is " in verse 17 was added, which changes the meaning of Paul's statement. That is why it is written in italics. Retaining the word "is" implies the thought of shadow vs. reality. In other words, Messiah fulfilled the shadow of the things mentioned in verse 16. However, if you remove the added word "is", it implies that we should not let any man outside the body of Messiah judge us in respect to these things. Indeed that is in line with the context of Paul's previous statements. Notice
Colossians 1:18 &
24 and
Colossians 2:19, all of which teach us that the body of Messiah is the church or all true believers.
Verse 17 states that these things "are" a shadow of things "to come" not that they "were" a shadow that was now fulfilled. Paul wrote this epistle approximately 30 years after Messiah's death and resurrection and yet he still spoke of them as unfulfilled shadows of something in the future.
If your son's birthday falls on a Wednesday, do you celebrate every Wednesday as his birthday? The ONLY reason he resurrected on a Sunday was because he fulfilled the shadow of the wave sheaf offering of Leviticus 23: 9-11 which took place on Abib 16 (the first day of the week that particular year).
The two on the way to Emmaus were not having a worship service. Yeshua also appeared to the disciples on a Monday (John 20:26). Now what? Should we make all Mondays holy days as well? The ONLY reason the Holy Spirit descended on the first of the week is because that is when the 50th day fell from Abib 16 that year according to Jewish reckoning which is what Yeshua followed. Had Yeshua resurrected the following year, he would have resurrected on a different day of the week and Pentecost would have fallen on a different day of the week.
Because he would not allow such heavy work to be done on the Sabbath. They were not collecting money, but food for the starving brethren.
Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
They loved each other and wanted to fellowship DAILY, not just on Sundays. Breaking bread together took place on every day. Perhaps we should all start having communion every day?
Here come the personal attacks. Congratulations on lasting this long without getting personal. Yes, Paul was preaching at a Jewish synagogue on the Sabbath, but the Gentiles wanted to hear him the next Sabbath, not the next Sunday.
