Colossian heresy?

Apostolic Age With Brian Maregedze

Discuss the Colossian heresy and show how it affects
churches of today?

Before any attempt to response to the above question
one has to be able to define what heresy is and relate
to Colossians as a book.
The challenge/problem that candidates face is to do
with defining heresy within Colossian community.
Thus there is need to identify Colossian false teachings
in light of Gnostic tenets.
There are a number of features, characterstics
associated with Colossian heresy and these include;
Gnosticism
Consider the various tenets, features of Gnosticism
which include
Libertinism
Ascerticism
Escatology (realised, event)
Gnosis
Dualism
Marcionism
Churches of today are affected in various ways,
Comment using the issue of
Gospel of prosperity (gospelprenuership)
Materialism, ownership of the means of production by
church leaders and how believers react
Fasting, what is true fasting? Is it abstinence from
food, having 30 days of absolute fasting or not? Relate
to Ascerticism
