AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 2:8 ¶ See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception [pseudo-intellectual babble], according to the tradition [and musings] of mere men, following the elementary principles of this world, rather than following [the truth--the teachings of] Christ. |
Subject: New Morality? |
Bible Note: I'm reminded of the wisdom from Solomon Eccl 1:9 That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun. Eccl 1:10 Is there anything of which one might say, "See this, it is new"? Already it has existed for ages Which were before us. Eccl 1:11 There is no remembrance of earlier things; And also of the later things which will occur, There will be for them no remembrance Among those who will come later still. Eccl 1:12 I, the Preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem. Eccl 1:13 And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all that has been done under heaven. It is a grievous task which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with. Eccl 1:14 I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind. Eccl 1:15 What is crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted. Eccl 1:16 I said to myself, "Behold, I have magnified and increased wisdom more than all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge." Eccl 1:17 And I set my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I realized that this also is striving after wind. Eccl 1:18 Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain. As long as mankind is on this planet, there will always be those looking for a new moraility but it will be up to the christians of every age and generation to remind them, there is no such thing that can be acceptable to God.
