THE COLOSSIANS HERESY (7)
(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) It is even better to combine aspects of several religions.
ii) There is nothing wrong with immorality.
a) Text reference: Colossians 2:10; 3:1-11
i) 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. (Colossians 2:10 NKJV)
ii) If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, 7 in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. (Colossians 3:1-11 NKJV)
b) Paul's Answer
i) You have everything when you have Christ; he is all-sufficient.
ii) Get rid of sin and evil because you have been chosen by God to live a new life as a representative of the Lord Jesus.
