In view of these tremendous facts, don’t let anyone worry you by criticising what you eat or drink, or what holy days you ought to observe, or bothering you over new moons or sabbaths. All these things have at most only a symbolical value: the solid fact is Christ. Nor let any man cheat you of your joy in Christ by persuading you to make yourselves “humble” and fall down and worship angels. Such a man, inflated by an unspiritual imagination, is pushing his way into matters he knows nothing about, and in his cleverness forgetting his head. It is from the head alone that the body, by natural channels, is nourished and built up and grows according to God’s laws of growth.

20-23 So if, through your faith in Christ, you are dead to the principles of this world’s life, why, as if you were still part and parcel of this world-wide system, do you take the slightest notice of these purely human prohibitions—“Don’t touch this,” “Don’t taste that” and “Don’t handle the other”? “This”, “that” and “the other” will all pass away after use! I know that these regulations look wise with their self-inspired efforts at worship, their policy of self-humbling, and their studied neglect of the body. But in actual practice they do honour, not to God, but to man’s own pride. - Col 2

I know of no one who observes the New Moons, Sabbaths or feasts who are still offering the meat and drink offerings that are detailed in 2 0collossians and Ezekiel 45:17, as each of this had special ordinances attached to them..

I certainly believe scripture confirms that no more offerings are needed.. those were nailed to the cross..

There seems a word or two missing from your version that you may find in ezekiel .

And if one thinks New Moons and Sabbaths were nailed to the cross,
One has to ignore the Millennial Kingdom propechies of Ezekiel 46:1 and Isaiah 66 when both prophets are quoting our Sovereign specifically saying New Moons and Sabbaths will be around..

And no wonder, the Messiah’s major life events occured on New Moons, Sabbaths and Feasts.
Those were nailed to the cross, laid in the tomb,and they rose again...and without those old testament prophets you could hang your whole vain philosophy on one verse..

And if you understand those and His timekeeping, you will reject the traditions of men and world conformity you have allowed to lead your work and worship life.

His calendar is a far better calendar then your Pope’s calendar..

It points to the Son, not the sun..
So does those New Moons, Sabbaths and Feasts that Christendom has created their own substitutes for..

And there are scriptures that prove they are not going anywhere.. your Thor’s day and Friya day and Woden’s day and december 25 and easter will be going bye bye.

Those counterfeits will go where the master counterfeiter will go- the pit for those 1000 years.
Be careful what you cling to here..

Paul was praising the colossians for having the courage to keep the Lord’s feasts, and observing the Biblical calendar.

Churchianity is dragging you into the nicolaitans’ babylon, if you let it!

Read Hebrews 3 and 4 carefully, and you will see that Torah was and still is the Gospel of the Kingdom, and those that depart from it will fall just as the unbelievers that came out of Egypt fell.
