What do I know?
This is at least the second time you are going to regret not checking the context of a word you look up in a concordance. And I do mean regret of the sincerest kind.
When I looked at the passage surrounding the verse you quoted in Colossians 2, my eyes first got big as saucers and then I did a little chuckle and then a full belly laugh. What I will allow you to do, is to retract this verse without discussing it and allow you to salvage some shred of dignity. We can then discuss the 1 Corinthians verse.
Do you believe God is smart enough that if He had wanted to make sure there were no misunderstandings concerning His plan of salvation, He could have had it written in such a way there could be no debating over what He was saying or meant?

Do I believe God is smart enough? Stupid question.
He had originally planned on riding his Harley there and flying back.
He said he was trying to hook up with some Christian bikers who were coming to Florida to ride his bike back for him, but I think he ended up riding it back himself.
He was amazed at the nice beaches you have in that area. He said he drove through Beaumont where he had started 1st grade in 1962 before we moved to Jasper. I had forgotten he had gone to school there for a short time. (((((Small world))))))

Well, it must be bed time. When my questions get so stupid that even you can notice,... it must be bedtime.:)
Gnite all.

Good idea. Get some sleep. Maybe you'll come up with something less condescending tommorrow.
Genesis 3 is an excellent passage. May I add something to it.
Genesis 3 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings. 8 They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 Then the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, " Where are you?" 10 He said, "I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself." 11 And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"
Here we see that Adam knew he was naked (a sinner) and he knew this of his own accord, God did not tell him. Adam even tried to cover himself up in his own clothing (works), but even with those he still felt naked and the need to hide himself. From this we see, I believe, that Adam's knowledge of his nakedness led him to realize his need for the clothing which God gave to him.

I like yours better.
Good thing we don't have a Bad Joke Moderator here or I'd be in Freepurgatory by now...
If it was a pub al_c knew just right where it was and he told Steven just in case he was too drunk to remember.
Is this a "sign"? ;o)
Yes it is, if you hadn't woke up before the dream had ended you would of seen that we all stopped by to pick up Dave who was handing out Chick track's at the pub it was a Wen night, and then we all went to church down at the Independent Fundamental Bible Believing Church and at the end of the service you, Steven and OLD REGGIE went down for the alter call and accepted JESUS as your savior (REGGIE admitted Jesus was God) and after that Dave and al_c (who had just renounced the Catholic church and joined the IFBC) led everyone in the hymn "Bringing in the sheaves" and closed with "Kum bye yah"

You're filled with misconceptions.
When will you quit talking out of both sides of your mouth?
I've been lurking on their threads for years and they post this kind of stuff all the time, and then the next post dive right back into the flower bed of TULIPS, I just set back and laugh. :)
