I would agree - Which is why I disagree with your reading of Col 2
Yeshua said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father (Abba) but through Me! This is the essence of Christianity.
The same Yeshua who told us to keep Torah, and to do the commandments? That Yeshua?
The law is holy. The Torah is holy. Men are not.
The following excerpts from Trumpet Ministries offer a fair explanation to the seeming contradictory views of Yeshua and Paul:
If we really believe that the writings of the Apostle Paul are the inerrant Word of God, then we must accept the fact that we are under no part of the Law of Moses.
How, then, do we reconcile the statements of the Lord Jesus concerning the Law? "I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."
And what does Paul means when he says "the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith; now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law?
It sounds like the Lord Jesus is saying the Law is still in force. It sounds like Paul is saying the Law has been done away with.
Can these two apparently contradictory statements be reconciled. If so, how?
In the seventh chapter of the Book of Romans, Paul tells us that the Law of Moses, instead of guiding him into righteousness, caused sin to come to life in him. He wanted to obey the law but his sinful nature caused him to disobey the Law.
Then, in the eighth chapter, Paul explains the relationship of the Law to our salvation in Christ. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, (Romans 8:1)
Paul is addressing Jews, telling them that they can look up from the scroll of the Law and put their faith in Jesus, and yet be without condemnation. The righteousness they were seeking under the Law is given to them through Christ.
It is difficult for Gentiles to understand the text of the New Testament because we do not realize how important the Law was to the Jews. After all, the large church in Jerusalem under Pastor James comprised thousands of Christian Jews, all keeping the Law of Moses. Paul's epistles reflect his continuing struggle to persuade the Jews to turn from the Law to Christ. Our misunderstanding of Paul's reasoning have caused us to believe Paul was saying now that we have faith in Christ we do not have to live righteously. Actually Paul was teaching now that we have faith in Christ we do not have to keep the Law of Moses. A vast and significant difference. A misunderstanding of this difference has produced moral chaos in the Christian churches and has made Paul's writings appear to contradict themselves.
Because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:2) The law of the Spirit of life is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit Himself is our Law, under the new covenant. The law of sin and death is explained in the preceding chapter. It is the interaction of the Law of Moses and our sinful nature. The Law of Moses condemns the actions of our sinful nature, thus producing death in us.
Paul is saying the law of the Spirit of life sets us free from the death produced by the interaction of the Law of Moses and our sinful nature. Remember, Paul's motive in writing such statements is to convince Jews ("I speak to those who know the Law") that the salvation that is in Christ is superior to the Law of Moses.
