MSITN VITAL DOCTRINES – CHRISTOLOGY

“Which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.”

Colossians 2:22-23

SELF-IMPOSED RELIGION

He called it “self-imposed religion!

2. Man-made religion:

a. Commandments are issued to their adherents.
b. Doctrines were formulated and then taught.
c. The origin of these commandments was not the Lord.
d. These doctrines and commandments came from human beings.

3. Some features of the self-imposed religion:

a. False humility.
This was taught as offering worship to angels!
b. Neglect of the body:
i. The practice of fasting was one feature.
Sometimes, fasting lasted many days.
ii. Abstention from food can be detrimental to health.
This was self-imposed!

4. What was the value of these rules and regulations?

a. Paul declared their rules as of no particular value.
b. One of the problems of life is “the indulgence of the flesh”.
i. The weakness of the flesh leads one to sin.
ii. Grave sins can be committed because of the weakness of the flesh.
c. Can these man-made commandments help one to overcome sin?
The clear answer is “No!”

5. To overcome sin:

a. We need God’s power.
b. We need the Lord’s presence to inspire us.
c. We need the Holy Spirit to strengthen us
d. Only through faith in the Lord Jesus would we be able to overcome our sinful flesh.

我夜间的歌曲-重要教义-基督论
经文：歌罗西书 2

这都是照人所吩咐所教导的。说到这一切，正用的时候就都败坏了。 这些规条使人徒有智慧之名，用私意崇拜，自表谦卑，苦待己身，其实在克制肉体的情欲上是毫无功效。。

《歌罗西书 2：22-23》

私意崇拜

1. 使徒保罗正确的形容假教师的宗教，既是所谓的“私意崇拜”

a. 向教徒立下规条

b. 先制定教义，后传教

c. 主不是这些规条的源头

d. 这些教义和规条都来自于人类

3. 私意崇拜的特征

a. 自表谦卑

这被教为赐给天使的崇拜

b. 苦待己身

i. 禁食为其中特征

禁食期可维持许多天

ii. 不进食对身体有负面的影响

这是自己强加的行为！

4. 这些规条有什么价值？

a. 使徒保罗严厉的批评这是没价值的

b. 人生其中一个问题是：肉体的情欲

i. 软弱的肉体可导致一个人犯罪

ii. 沉重罪孽是因为肉体上的软弱而犯

c. 这些照人所吩咐所教导的规条能否帮助一个人克服罪？答案是明确的“不”！

5. 克服罪：

a. 我们需要上帝的大能
