Today, I want to draw from Paul's letter to the Colossians chapter 1 beginning at verse 26 through 2:5 with a closer look at verse 28, again using the old KJV.
Colossians 1:28 of 24-2:5 "Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body's sake, which is the church: whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of GOD which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of GOD; Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to His saints: to whom GOD would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; Which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; That we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: whereunto I also labor, striving according to His working, which works in me mightily. For I would that you know what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea (the world), and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery (Deu. 29:29, Mark 4:11) of GOD, and of the Father, and of Christ; In Whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with (religions) enticing words. For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ."
Paul used the word "warning" which the Strong's shows the following: G3560, noutheteō noo-thet-eh'-o From the same as G3559 [nouthesia noo-thes-ee'-ah From G3563 [nous nooce Probably from the base of G1097 {ginōskō ghin-oce'-ko A prolonged form of a primary verb; to “know” (absolutely), in a great variety of applications and with many implications (as shown at left, with others not thus clearly expressed): - allow, be aware (of), feel, (have) known (-ledge), perceive, be resolved, can speak, be sure, understand.}; the intellect, that is, mind (divine or human; in thought, feeling, or will); by implication meaning: - mind, understanding.] and a derivative of G5087 [tithēmi tith'-ay-mee A prolonged form of a primary word θέω theō (which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses); to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from G2476, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while G2749 is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate): - + advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.]; calling attention to, that is, (by implication) mild rebuke or warning: - admonition.]; to put in mind, that is, (by implication) to caution or reprove gently: - admonish, warn.
Next he states with "teaching" which the Strong's uses: G1321, didaskō did-as'-ko A prolonged (causative) form of a primary verb δάω daō (to learn); to teach (in the same broad application): - teach.
Remember that the name Elohiym means to be yoked with and then to be taught by.
Then we find "wisdom" with the Strong's number G4678, sophia sof-ee'-ah From G4680 [sophos sof-os' Akin to σαφής saphēs (clear); wise (in a most general application): - wise.]; wisdom (higher or lower-worldly or spiritual): - wisdom.
This made only possible by the removal of the beam and its smaller particles.
The last being the word "perfect" with the Strong's number G5046, teleios tel'-i-os From G5056; complete (in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character, etc.); neuter (as noun, with G3588) completeness: - of full age, man, perfect.
Again when religion raises its ugly head it can be renounced by those who are yoked with Elohiym....Jesus the Christ one.
