About This Video
In this episode of I Don’t Get the BibleA TGNN series that answers honest Bible questions—without fear or religious pressure., Shawn and Delaney dive into Colossians chapter 2 and unpack Paul’s bold statements about Christ being the mystery of God in whom all treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden. They discuss how Jesus came first for the lost sheep of Israel and, only after being rejected, became the doorway for the gospel to reach the Gentiles. This leads to a larger conversation about hollow philosophies, deceptive arguments, and how Paul’s warnings to the early believers still resonate today.
Delaney opens up about her emotional response to these verses, especially Paul’s teaching that love—not doctrine—is the ultimate litmus test for truth. They reflect on the misuse of the Bible to justify division, how love is often redefined as “telling the truth,” and how scripture actually points to love as patient, kind, and humble. The episode closes with reflections on God’s presence in all people, the tension between Calvinist ideas and personal responsibility, and what it means to be truly “response-able.”
