The common interpretation of Colossians 2 is wrong, very wrong. Unlike what is often taught and explained in commentaries, Apostle Paul never dismissed the Torah’s instructions regarding food, circumcision, the Sabbath, or God’s festivals. He followed them even after he came to faith in Yeshua (Jesus). He reinforced the need to walk in Yeshua by the same faith through which He is received, a faith characterized by obedience to God’s commandments.
