Introduction
Imagine
for a moment a well-known reputable Bible teacher coming to Hosanna EFC, and
preaching things that seem to contradict what we already know of the Christian
faith. This results in confusion. It calls for clarification as to what the
Bible actually teaches and what the Christian faith is really about.
There
was a church in the first century A.D. that was facing this kind of issue. It
was the church in a place called Colosse. False teachings were penetrating the
church, and it was causing confusion among the Christians there. Because of
that, the apostle Paul had to write to them in order to clarify and explain
precisely what the Bible and the Christian faith teaches, and to refute the
errors of the false teachings. This gives us the Book of Colossians.
