THE COLOSSIANS HERESY (5)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) Paul answered the various tents of the Colossian 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 obtain "secret knowledge" in order to be saved or perfected - and this was not available to everyone.
a) Text reference: Colossians 2:2, 18
i) 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ (Colossians 2:2 NKJV)
ii) 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind. (Colossians 2:18 NKJV)
b) Paul's Answer
i) God's secret is Christ, and he has been revealed to all.
