2:16,17
One tactic false teachers use is to bring in various rules, claiming that they will help us to obey God. They are totally ineffective. However, the primary reason Paul cites for telling them not to allow “anyone to judge you” is what he has just said about the work of the cross. Part of the reason for the attractiveness of such rules is that the Law had many regulations, but the Law was a shadow of the things to come, this is a point majored on in Hebrews. The reality is found in Christ.
2:18,19
People who delight in rules etc delight in false humility, they may also over emphasise angels. Angels do exist, but if someone is forever going on about seeing angels then they are almost certainly on the wrong track, we should be most wary of them. They claim to be spiritual, but their mind is actually unspiritual.They are not focusing on Christ, who is the head of the church.
