THE COLOSSIANS HERESY (3)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) Paul answered the various tents of the Colossians heresy that threatened the church. This heresy was a "mixed bag," containing elements from several different heresies, some of which contradicted each other.
1. The heresy
i) One must deny the body and live in strict asceticism.
a) Text reference: Colossians 2:20-23
i) 20 Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh. (Colossians 2:20-23 NKJV)
b) Paul's Answer
i) Asceticism is no help in conquering evil thoughts and desires; instead, it leads to pride.
