Col.2:4 Now this I say that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech. 2:5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. 2:6 As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him, 2:7 rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
What was the persuasive speech that the apostle Paul was eluding to here? Always and everywhere in the Greek writings is found the truth of what Paul speaks to here. It was the law, words of enslaving the body of Christ into works of laws, what law? In this case the old law and its righteousness, but it could also include any laws that are created to punish sinners for unrighteous acts. And that is precisely why such words are powerful for sinners. These Christian's were not being mislead by false prophecy, but by something far more sinister. In fact, something most Christian's today don't get nor even see it as a dangers. Most believe false prophecy is the biggest threat to Christian's, yet, 90% percent of Paul's writings were about this lie entering into the body of Christ killing it for any usefulness in doing God's will, and what is that?
Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"} 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. 8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;
Words of righteousness misleading the anointed, but how? God's law was perfect and righteous, but it did not make a person sinless, do you really understand the truth of that statement? The law exposed our sins, but it did not remove them, it did not say: “remain in me the law and you have eternal life!” Do you understand the law was created for the wicked for punishing evil in man kind, but was not created for the righteous? No it was not!
1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;
So how could these brothers and sister bring the law into the body of Christ which is sinless, and does remove our sins once for all times, without bring back sin and death for the unrighteous? How? By persuasiveness of speech! Nothing is more power than a person wanting to serve God, that is, using God's righteous word to judge other with it. And that is the point, we have stumbled upon the power involved in judging others with God's word the bible, that is, with laws for sinners. The law given to Moses was the Jews heavens and earth, it built kingdoms, it built the most powerful nation on earth. Does one think Satan and the fallen angels took no note of that power?
1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
2 Timothy 1:10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
Titus 3:9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
This is the key to understanding the start of apostasy, this is the key to understanding the weeds over taking God field of wheat, this is the key to unlocking all of God's word perfectly and lawfully for Christian's, but it is the most overlooked point in the bible. Christ died to strip the authority of all human governments over his people, his body, how? By taking the power away from them in judging his body members making them in debt to the nations. Yes, the debt for building the world, it must be built from laws to punishes the wicked, to make people in debt to the law, which controls them, it protects those in position created by the law. However, the law of love does not give a body members of Christ power of this world to rule over others in a congregation, it instead strips them into a servant of others. How can a man hold a debt of another when they have been freely forgiven their debt of sins by the very body they are attached to by God's love?
2Cor. 4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. 4:5 For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake; 4:6 seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness,"{Genesis 1:3} who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 4:7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves. 4:8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; 4:9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed; 4:10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
Satan seen the unprotected position of God's anointed like and enemy looking for a weakness. Satan also knew the human unrighteousness for power and control. What good was a body of God's anointed to his world without power and control? Absolutely none! Thus, he over-sowed the field of wheat with weeds corrupting it into organized religion where the same spirit of ambitious would corrupt the kingdom of God by the yeast of persuasiveness of speech. It would rob them of Christ replacing Christ with men of power just like the world. What would they need to protect this kingdom of yeast, words and laws for yeast, the very laws Christ had take away by giving each member freedom from judgment of sin, by his righteous body imputed into each member of his body of Christ.
Galatians 5:9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
Matthew 13:33 He spoke another parable to them. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures{literally, three sata. 3 sata is about 39 litres or a bit more than a bushel} of meal, until it was all leavened."
Matthew 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field."
Matthew 13:38 the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
Matthew 13:40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.
Today two thousand years later we have a corrupted earthly kingdom called religion and billions of people living in confusion judging one another unrighteously just as they have been taught by laws for the flesh. Waiting for the signs of the end in a great lawlessness that already exist. One cannot be lawful under a unlawful law created for a fleshly body of sin. One must be made lawful by the law of Christ without sin, by the precious and everlasting blood of Christ, being stripped of all earthly powers to hold debt of sins over others, putting squarely our eternal life into the Kings hands God has put his own authority into Christ Jesus, by one thing not seen of men, or laws, faith!
1 John 5:18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn't sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn't touch him.
James 2:9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. Rom.13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. 13:9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not give false testimony," "You shall not covet,"{TR adds "You shall not give false testimony,"}{Exodus 20:13-15,17; Deuteronomy 5:17-19,21} and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."{Leviticus 19:18} 13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
