NASB | Colossians 2:18 Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 2:18 Let no one defraud you of your prize [your freedom in Christ and your salvation] by insisting on mock humility and the worship of angels, going into detail about visions [he claims] he has seen [to justify his authority], puffed up [in conceit] by his unspiritual mind, |
Bible Question: 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? |
Bible Answer: Hi Sandy: The only ministering spirit that we as Christians have need of is, The Holy Spirit. Anyone that tells you they see or hear from Angels is a fraud! This verse is telling us that those that do that are puffed up with vain pride and do not know the word of God. Angels are not needed today at all for teaching God's children, they are messengers of God of course, but today, we, as Children of God, have the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God, to lead and teach us. Anyone who tells you otherwise, is teaching a false gospel, and leading any who will listen astray. Please do not hesitate to ask more questions if you need to. God bless you in your study of His Holy Word. I hope this helps you God bless John |
