It is much more likely that the Judaizers are judging the brand new converts for not observing Sabbath keeping the direction they keep it. In the same context, he says "hey I wish that they would just emasculate themselves" and many types of their trying to do is put a notch on their belt. They're saying that these converts belong to us, they're our students. "We're the rabbis, we've been around a lot longer, Paul's a maverick we're up and counseling Jerusalem, we are the circumcision party, we know what we're doing" and that is how they're beginning to become a nuisance to Paul.
Each time he's coming out of town, they're arriving town and he's warning them don't do things the way that they do them. Do them in line with the commandment like Jesus said do what they tell you to do for Moses to determine but don't do what they do. So while we are in Colossians chapter 2, let's deal with this one verse cause which says "when you had been dead in your sins (in verse 13) plus the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with the Messiah.
He forgave us all our sins, that's critical he proclaiming that he forgave us all in our sins as well as in the next verse he says this (verse 14) "having cancelled the written code, having its regulations, that was against us which stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it for the cross" but the key is in verse 13 when it said that Yeshua forgave us of all sins.
Remember there's a curse from the law? He's doing away with the curse, he's forgiving us of our own sins and that's why what he says in verse 14 "have a cancel the written code, what's He talking about there? Well, let's read it in the different version and I'll think you realize a lot better.
A better rendering is in the ISV version; international standard version says this having erased the charges that were brought against us with their decrees that were hostile to us. He took those charges away when he nailed them to the cross were the (Lamsa) or even the Aramaic version says this by his commandments he canceled the written bond of our sins which stood against us and he took it out of the way, nailing it for the cross; Now does not produce a lot more sense if it is which he became the curse for us if he lets us know that? We broke regulations we deserve that, right?
Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23, so that all of us have fallen short of the glory of God, we all have broken the commandments so we all deserve death and that he became death for us. He did not do away with the law; He did away with the death or the curse. If He did away using the law, then we have a problem because now there isn't any definition of sin, there is no curse then there is no need for a savior and how can Yahweh throw anyone into hell on judgment visit to the end of the thousand year millennial reign of the Messiah for breaking something that doesn't exist? So were breaking a myriad of logic in that permanent state from the rules there.
