1 | Differentiating various sufferings | Col 1:24 | creed | 45054 | ||
It's not about "Differentiating various sufferings" Your concern should towards learning/reflecting during suffering. The first time we burned our finger with the iron, did we not suffer the consequences and learn from them? When we are babies we get frustrated (suffering) trying to communicate our needs. When we unveil the lesson behind the suffering we are able to move onto the next platform in my spiritual life. Humane beings learned through suffering in our social, spiritual, careers and family lives. I 'm not saying we should seek out suffering no more than we should burn ourselves with the iron on purpose, but there is a purpose for suffering. | ||||||
2 | How do our sufferingss "fill up"... | Col 1:24 | LuckyCharm | 45062 | ||
Thank you for your input, Creed! But my question was directed more toward the verse in question, Col 1:24, and how our sufferings here would "fill up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions." I agree that we must prayerfully reflect in all sufferings. --Cheryl |

3 | How do our sufferingss "fill up"... | Col 1:24 | meusing | 45090 | ||
I like what Calvin mentioned that we (Christians) are parts (members) of Christ's body and "as Christ has suffered once in His own person, so He suffers daily in His members" (us) and that "that afflictions must be cheerfully endured, inasmuch as they are profitable to all the pious, and promote the welfare of the whole Church, by adorning the doctrine of the gospel." Adam Clarke adds "I have still some afflictions to pass through before my race of glory be finished; afflictions which fall on me on account of the Gospel; such as Christ bore from the same persecuting people. It is worthy of remark that the apostle does not say paqhmata, the passion of Christ, but simply qliyeiv, the afflictions; such as are common to all good men who bear a testimony against the ways and fashions of a wicked world. In these the apostle had his share, in the passion of Christ he could have none. He trod the wine press alone, of the people there were none with him." |

Cheryl, my point was that the story of Job 1-42 sums up the distiction of suffering. There are no differences in suffering. | ||||||

What do you mean by "no differences in suffering"? Are you saying that Col 1:24 would apply to ALL sufferings we experience? --Cheryl |

It all depends what kind of suffering you going true, is it the suffering of the gospel or your on suffering. | ||||||
