how to know if what you have been taught is true or false
TRANSCRIPT
HOW CAN YOU KNOW FOR SURE?“THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD”
T R U E O R FA L S EHOW TO KNOW IF WHAT YOU’RE BEING TAUGHT IS
TRUE OR FALSE
6 You received Christ Jesus as Lord. So keep on living your lives in him. 7 Have your roots in him. Build yourselves up in him. Grow strong in what you believe, just as you were taught. Be more thankful than ever before.
COLOSSIANS 2 (NIVR)
JESUS
16-17 So don’t put up with anyone pressuring you in details of diet, worship services, or holy days. All those things are mere shadows cast before what was to come; the substance is Christ.
COLOSSIANS 2 (MSG)
“THE SUBSTANCE IS
CHRIST.”
TRUE OR FALSE
COLOSSIANS 2 (MSG)18-19 Don’t tolerate people who try to run your life, ordering you to bow and scrape, insisting that you join their obsession with angels and that you seek out visions. They’re a lot of hot air, that’s all they are. They’re completely out of touch with the source of life, Christ, who puts us together in one piece, whose very breath and blood flow through us. He is the Head and we are the body. We can grow up healthy in God only as he nourishes us.
TRUE OR FALSE
COLOSSIANS 2 (MSG)20-23 So, then, if with Christ you’ve put all that pretentious and infantile religion behind you, why do you let yourselves be bullied by it? “Don’t touch this! Don’t taste that! Don’t go near this!” Do you think things that are here today and gone tomorrow are worth that kind of attention? Such things sound impressive if said in a deep enough voice. They even give the illusion of being pious and humble and ascetic. But they’re just another way of showing off, making yourselves look important.

JESUS: THE ONLY SOURCE OF OUR NEW LIVES
“They’re completely out of touch with the source of life, Christ, who puts us together in one piece, whose very breath and blood flow through us. He is the Head and we are the body. We can grow up healthy in God only as he nourishes us.”

Spiritual Conceit
Hard on Others, Harder on Self
“IF WE SPEAK IN MANY TONGUES, BUT HAVE NOT
LOVE, WE WILL BE MAKING NOISE. IF WE HAVE THE GIFT
OF PROPHECY OR HAVE FAITH THAT CAN MOVE
MOUNTAINS, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, WE ARE NOTHING. IF WE GIVE IT ALL AWAY AND DIE FOR ME, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, WE GAIN NOTHING.”
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE TEACHINGWE SHOULD BE PATIENT AND KIND. WE
SHOULDN’T ENVY OR BOAST. WE SHOULDN’T BE PROUD. WE SHOULDN’T BE RUDE OR SELF-
SEEKING. WE SHOULDN’T BE EASILY ANGERED NOR SHOULD WE KEEP A RECORD OF WRONGS. WE SHOULDN’T DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT INSTEAD
ALWAYS REJOICE WHEN THE TRUTH IS REVEALED. WE SHOULD ALWAYS PROTECT, ALWAYS TRUST,
ALWAYS HOPE, ALWAYS PERSEVERE.
JESUS WILL NEVER FAIL TO LOVE US LIKE THAT.
