Hi t8,

Colossians 2:2–3
“My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge”.

Yes THE ANOINTING=Christ

Not the man who was anointed

Hi t8,

Of course Colossians does not refer to any puny man but the Word that was with God.

The Word that was made flesh thanks to Jesus.

Hi t8,

Should we worry about these things?

Surely they were made for the devil and his angels and we have been given the words of eternal life?

Hi KW,

Angels are not physical.

At times they do look like men.

Hi KW,

You get confused not knowing what is literal and what is not?

Hi ED,

Everyone says their understandings came from scripture.

But how many are taught by scripture?

Hi davidl,

And you would press the text to make your god a oneness when you work so hard to make your god a trinity?

Hi davidl,

And you would press the text to make g your od a oneness when you work so hard to make your god a trinity?

Hi Ed,

If you have felt the wind of the Spirit guiding right choices be grateful for grace.

Hi Ed,

You really should not read scripture to prove what you thought was true.

It is so malleable that false teachings easily arise.

Hi Ed,

The witnesses were all chosen and commanded to testify and give witness to the works of God.

None of those involved were not chosen.

Grace does all.

Hi davidl,

The Word was in the beginning with God

and was God.

Discern when the Word speaks using the human vessel.

Hi KW,

Yes we see more guesswork here too.

Opinion often rules over relevation

Hi mila,

No teaching says man will have heaven as a home.

The new house in a new body.

To be with the Lord will mean to be on the earth usually but perhaps at times in heaven too..

Hi t8,

There is no suggestion that flesh men will continue to populate the earth after judgement.

Flesh is no more and we will be like the angels.

Hi ED,

Those given grace upon grace to become the sons of God owe enormous gratitude to the Loving Father.

Flesh has contributed nothing.

Hi KW,

Relevant opinion do you think?

Hi t8,

Men CAN go to heaven as the Lord has shown us.

But scripture does not say as men do that it is the destiny of good men.

Hi Ed,

” How unsearchable are His judgements and unfathomable His ways”

Rom 11

Hi Ed,

We like to imagine we are in control but God makes it all work in His plan.

Free will is a very loose term

Grace we need.
