What’s your defining authority for your interpretation of Col 1:24? Please cite your reference.
Suffering of missionaries is not a necessary component of individual salvation - you are confusing what is needed in order for a person to be redeemed. This passage clearly is saying that servants of Christ will suffer on this earth because of the evil opposition to the Gospel.
You seem to be suggesting that if a missionary doesn’t face suffering every time he/she presents the Gospel then the listeners will not be able to become believers because the formula for salvation is Christ’s suffering plus the suffering of the missionary.
“I have you just refuse to see the truth. Father of five and I have both shown you more than enough evidence.”
Neither you nor Father of five have offered an interpretation of Hebrews 9:12, which states that Jesus secured our redemption forever. I’m interested in discussing Bible verses and understanding where other viewpoints are coming from.
What does the clear literal meaning of Col. 1:24 say.
Just read it donm’t go through the mental gymnastics
