Discuss Colossians 2 Page 20

Since we have received Christ as our LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOUR,meaning we need open all our understanding to follow GOD commandments,in it we will find life favor

love that verse.. i love it so much that im going to put on front of my mother 's obituary

Jesus spoiled principalities and power to reign on the earth. This suggest that it is the duty of all who believe in CHRIST to spoil principalities and powers over his or her life for such believer to equally reign on this earth.Praise God.

It is a stamp of the Beliver 's authority over the satan, devil and all their evil agents. That all power now belong to God and HIS CHRIST, glory halleluia!

This is telling us that we are no longer bound by the ceremonial aspects of observeing all holidays. Hebrew days of observance. Passover, Yom Kipper, Unleavened bread, Hanakah or however it is spelled, it does not do a way with Sabbath Day. It is a commandment, to say he did away with a commandment in this statement would mean that he also did away with thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal, Etc.

Most people interprets the verse very incorrectly qz what are those food drinks which was offered which was to pass? Answer they must be sacrificial food which was offered for remission of sin through atonement . But since Jesus come become our true precious sacrificial offering , we don 't have to do do sacrifice again so that we may be forgiven since we have our high priest Christ who is tanning for our sins in heavenly sanctuary qz what about the Sabbath? If you read your bible careful the Jews festival where considered as Sabbaths so when Paul is talking about the Sabbath he plainlymean the Jews festival not the seventh Sabbath which God start to be His seal with man

What i picked from verse 6 to 8 Paul was trying to remind the colossians that they have received Christ consciously, they knew what they got then they should continue to walk with Christ Jesus. He also warned them of deceivers who may want to push them away from what they have heard that they should not listen to them rather they should grow deeper in Christ and seek to understand Him more, being that Jesus is the giver of wisdom n understanding.

It Is Now Clear To Me By 2 Colosians 2 16 That Not Food U Eat Will Send U To Heaven But How To Live A Decent Life Count Much.

We have been free from such thing,we have to root ourselves in Christ by his gospel which is the death,burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus.be careful of false teacherS

If you read the whole book of colossians, you will come to the conclusion that Paul was warning his church who incidently was keeping the Sabbath. They had people coming to their church and giving them false information regarding sabbath. .telling them that they can worship any day. .so Paul told them that their practice of the sabbath day was right and that they should not listen to the false teachers.

We must ensure that the basis of our Faith is Jesus Christ and that we are to continue to be rooted in him who is the head of the church,not in philosophies n rules created by humans. Such rules are as temporary as the humans who constitute them. God 's word is eternal and powerful and it is only through God 's word that we get transformed.

Verse 6 7 summarize the chapter in my view. Receiving Christ and then walking in Him means the same thing as being firmly rooted and then built up in Him. This occurs by receiving and then keeping His truth. Words abound everywhere but there is only one truth! Don 't become like those who are faithful to falsehood. Jer. 2 11

We are incomplete without Christ. It is imparative that we lay aside human philosophies and traditions that seek to creat a partion wall between Christ and us.

When arguing about this verse, please lets not be blinded by our perception of thus says our mind but let 's invite christ to reveal the hidden meaning of these wonderful precepts of apostle Paul.For instance if we view the chapter from verse one Paul points JESUS AS owner of wisdom and knowledge so why must we think that paul considered our conditions and why not others and that is lack of brotherly love. friends we can 't justify ourselves, salvation is by grace when the sinner has been fully equipped on the momentum of sin commited so why must we do things that will cause our brothers sin.AMEN

The passage is about let no one judge you cause of food you eat or religious day you may celebrate. Don 't let any put you in bondage because of these thing. We have been freedom from such things.

Its very useful for me and to teach my church people

One s comments on 6 17 2013 Who said you have to keep the commandments in order to be saved It is just not there Of course you keep the commandments because you are saved However if you don t keep the Ten Commandments you will not inherit the Kingdom of God according to Galatians 5 19 21 Adultery fornication uncleanness lasciviousness Idolatry witchcraft hatred variance emulations wrath strife seditions heresies Envyings murders drunkenness revellings and such like of the which I tell you before as I have also told you in time past that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God You are quoting Matthew 22 37 40 40 On these two commandments HANG all the law and the prophets This means that by keeping the Ten Commandments you show your love to God and to your fellow human beings To HANG doesn t mean to replace or delete I sense a Pentecostal approach to keeping the Law of God

The 10 commandments are at the same time the 10 divine charges against man as Jesus demonstrated. For instance he says if you look at a woman with an adulterous eye, you have already committed adultery in your hear. Now this leaves a guilty verdict upon one. With this in mind we can appreciate Colossians 2:14.

Two factors to to consider when pondering this verse; 1.No MAN will take Jesus sheep. 2. We are not of this world (now) therefore cannot be spoiled by it. Old man DIED, not of the flesh but Spirit. Not under Law, but Grace if saved. >>>>John10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
>>>>This V speaks of the "World"? 1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. >>>>>>>>> Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.>>>>>Fear Not Stand Fast. This speaks of wolves who come to kill. They cannot kill the saved. Life Eternal is why. It can't be shaken.

I agree @ bel

I fully agree with Ed's i think that is the meaning intended,that watever we do we shuld do it right in fear of God such that no one if given the chance to judge us wuld find us guilty of any fault.

Romans 4:15 is the heart of the gospel. This is what Christ did at the cross, he nailed the law to the cross ( colossians 2:14). Therefore we do not sin and cannot sin, because their is no law to sin against. Therefore no one sins. The churches have done the opposite, telling us we sin and are sinners, everyone is a saint they just do not know it.

Colossians 2 vs 6
Since we have received christ as the Lord and our personal saviour, the next thing we need to do is to work in him. And how do we work in him? by obeying his word, doing his will, being commiiteed to the works of the ministry,preaching the gospel and many more. so these are the ways we can work in him; not receiving him and then we folding our hands and relaxed.

In Christ it where all fullness of Godhead dwells bodily(in character, and the church is also fully clothed with to power of God which is without limit, because it is in Christ, this power makes the church to be complete in all things without any lack, therefore all powers and authorities submit to Christ; the Lord of Lords,as a result nothing can stand against the Church that is aware of this power.

Contrary to brother Ed's take on this, it seems obvious that Paul is telling us not to allow anyone to judge us as to what we may or may not eat or drink. It has nothing to do with making sure that we can't be found guilty - it says LET no man (no one) judge you! We are not only not bound by the old covenant taboos, we are not subject to anyone else's judgments.

I am so thankful that I know who Jesus Christ is. He’s the father, the son & the Holy Spirit. There is a plan of salvation that we must follow and it's clearly stated in Acts 2:38. I don't understand how people can believe that there are 3 separate entities in the Godhead. Colossians 2:9, "For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily". Why do you think Jesus was crucified? He was proclaiming that he was God. ( Romans 10 verse 13 states that he who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved, verse 14 how can people call on the Lords name when they don't believe who Jesus is. HE chooses and sends preachers, to those who haven't heard yet who Jesus Christ is. Most preachers decide themselves that they want to preach.)

Meaning i owe no man attention pataining my physical and spiritual life but jesus,thank you jesus.

Our lives are only complete in Christ. Our plan works out when we are in Christ. And when we are in Christ we are seated with him high above all principalities and powers. No sickness, no poverty, no family problem, no nothing will ever overcome since we are in Him. He said apart from me you are can do nothing.
