Old Testament nailed to the Cross?

Question

I have seen mutiple Bible believing Christians say on Y!A that the Old Testament is nailed to the cross.

Christians get this idea from Col. 2:13b-14:

Col 2:13-14 NASB

"He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. "

The phrase "certificate of debt" is many times understood as the Old Testament.

NASB has "certificate of debt" and it is translated in various ways in differnet translations:

NIV: written code
KJV: handwriting of ordinances
NKJV: handwriting of requirements
NRSV: the record

The greek word is "cheirographon". This term refers to "a document esp. a note of indebtness, is written in one's own hand as proof of obligation."^1

So when you understand this properly in the context the reference is not to the Old Testament but to an I.O.U. of sins.

This I.O.U., that is our sin debt to God, has been nailed to the cross and our sins obligation has been paid!

What do you think about this?
