Well, welcome to the driving line. I've got about 370 miles to go today until I get home. I'm looking forward to that.

But I want to touch on some more issues that are being discussed online.

I want to start with a verse that I have recommended to people for many decades that they added their memorization lists before many reasons.

Especially if you're dealing with support nationists, Jehovah's Witnesses, people like that.

And that is Colossians 2-9. And now of course comes after 2-8, which is a warning against being taken captive by philosophy and men's traditions.

And it gives the reason for that.

Hati and Aotokatoi Kaipanta play Roma taste the Aditas Sematicos for an M is dwelling all the fullness of deity in bodily form.

And it is hard to escape the reality that Paul is either directly at that time,

because there was already this teaching coming from the east, which would be very early, or even prophetically, morning of what would come,

dealing with sort of a preemptive strike against what is going to be the greatest enemy and challenge to the church in the early centuries,

and that of course is the heresy of Gnosticism, the religion of Gnosticism.

And there in one sentence, you have the assertion that the reason that all of man's knowledge, philosophy, traditions, beliefs,

are to be subject to Christ, which sometimes embarrasses Christians the same.

Really does, let's just be honest, there are Christians who are embarrassed.

When we say Jesus Christ is Lord, all of human knowledge is to be under His Lordship.

It will only result in human flourishing when that knowledge is bordered in light of Christ and in light of His

Lordship and His person that embarrasses people.

But the reason is given right here for any Him is dwelling all the fullness of deity in bodily form, that which makes God God.

It's not Godhead, it's deity, that which makes God God.

Thyatatos is not the same as Thyat, which is used over Romans 120.

There are different words, and Thyatatos is much more specific.

And it is said that all the fullness of deity is dwelling in Him in bodily form.
