Bible Note: Warning! Danger Will Robinson! Classic blunder alert! Colossae is in GREECE! The previous post contains grievious errors! The people surrounding the Church at Colossae who would have been standing in judgement of the new believers would have been the family and peers of pork-eating GREEKS. Greek unbelievers pressuring Greek believers! Paul was warning the Messianic believers there not to succumb to the pressure they would feel from those around them, Greeks not JEWS! This passage means the EXACT opposite of what Churchians normally assert. Before you dismiss this interpretation out of hand, try reading it again while setting aside your own preconceptions. Paul compares Colossae with Laodicea which was know for its lukewarmness and apathy, not its excessive Jewishness. Also, Where Acts 15 is concerned, where are the Christians who are making sure meat is properly bled and not strangled? They say this is all we need to do yet they don't even do this pared down list of commands. I'd really love an answer to this! Grace and peace, Kwigger |
