1 | Just needing a little more insight | Col 2:18 | sandy_521 | 205230 | ||
In Colossians 2:18 is this talking about those that say they are seeing angels and trying to get you to worship angels? Not those that say they have seen angels and explaining that we have them as ministering spirits and they only listen to a command of Gods Word? | ||||||

Greetings Sandy, This comes from the Bible Knowledge Commentary and may help. "Those who turn believers from the reality in Christ to the shadow of the Law disqualify them for the prize. That is, they rob believers of their spiritual rewards. As a judge disqualifies those who turn the wrong way in a race, so believers who turn from faithfully following Christ will be “robbed” of their rewards from Him (cf. 1 Cor. 3:10-15). Some heretics who turn believers away from faithful service have a false humility, which is only “a form of godliness but denying its power” (2 Tim. 3:5) that is in Christ (Rom. 8:3-4). This artificial godliness of legalists was connected with the worship of angels which Scripture forbids (Ex. 20:3-4; cf. Rev. 22:8-9). In fact, legalism is a teaching inspired by fallen angels (1 Tim. 4:1) who as “elemental spirits” (Gal. 4:3, rsv) would bring men into slavery by their mystical meditations. These legalistic mystics dwell on what they have seen (in visions), which Paul called idle notions. This phrase may have occasioned the variant (but less preferable) translation “which he hath not seen” (kjv). Far from being humble, such a person’s unspiritual mind (lit., “the mind of the flesh”; cf., lit., “the body of the flesh,” v. 19) is puffed with pride in his visions." —Bible Knowledge Commentary Steve |
