My point is what the beggerly things they wanted to turn back to was the Law -- with its forms, and symbols, and days... The verses you used has to be kept with the Chapter Three. To break them out and suddenly have Paul start talking about "pagan holidays" doesn't fit Paul's flow. They, the Galatians, wanted to keep all of it... Paul says don't turn back to that...
What you have put forth here is pure opinion, devoid of any scriptural backup.
Let me go through this and hope that you understand:
1. Sabbath is never mentioned in Galatians. Paul knows the word and the concept because he mentions it in 1 Cor 16:2, Col 2:16 and Hebrews 4:9. The WORD is never used in Galatians, yet you want to say it's there when it's clearly not.
2. Gal 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
A Jewish feast, or holy day, is always referred to by the greek word:
1859 heorte heh-or-tay'
of uncertain affinity; a festival:--feast, holyday.
This word does NOT appear anywhere in galatians.
So using the BIBLE and letting the BIBLE interpet itself, it should be patently obvious that Paul isn't referring to sabbaths or holy days here. Look it up yourself. He's referring to something else. You look back on it and interpet it the way you do because by tradition that is what you believe.
Words mean things, especially in the bible. If Paul truly meant to say what you think he is saying, he would have been guided by the Holy Spirit to put those words down, but he did not.

Well, since you know nothing about me or how I do anything... that's a pretty cheeky remark.

Oh, well, I guess you know best, I mean you being there and all.
