DAVEH:    OK Kevin....maybe I was wrong with my last comment.  It appears you are full of it....       ;-) Kevin Deegan wrote: DAVEH:  Humility? It is Bible! Col 2 Speaking of Jesus Christ: In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. ... As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: ... Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:  In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through THE FAITH of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.   Have you recieved Christ? What exactly does recieving Him mean, Dave? What does the text mean when it says "you being DEAD"? Have you been buried with him in baptism? Have you risen with him thru THE FAITH? What is this Blotting out of Ordinances that were against us?   So again I ask what exactly am I lacking? Lest I be beguiled & spoiled. Dave Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: DAVEH:  Humility?

I'm not sure what this comment has to do with my comments concerning your passages showing that much ministry took place apart from Bible reading, but I hope you are aware that the Laodiceans had a similar attitude of not coming short in anything, and Jesus was not pleased with them. Revelation 3:17-19 (17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: (18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of th y nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. (19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Peace be with you.
