WHAT CATHOLICS WILL NEVER KNOW OR BELIEVE...??. ALL PEOPLE (Rom 3:23) owe God an unpayable debt for violating His Law (Gal 3:10; James 2:10; Matt 18:23-27) and are thus under the sentence of death (Rom 6:23) Paul graphically compares Gods forgiveness of believers sins to wiping ink off a parchment. Through Christs sacrificial death on the cross, God has totally erased our certificate of indebtedness, and made our forgiveness complete. Nailed it to the Cross This is another metaphor for forgiveness. The list of crimes of a crucified criminal was nailed to the cross with the criminal to declare the violations he was being punished for. Believers sins were all out to Christs account, nailed to His cross as He paid the penalty in their place for them all, thus satisfying the just wrath of God against crimes requiring punishment in full. Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Believers are complete in Christ, both positionally by the imputed perfect righteousness of Christ and the complete sufficiency of all heavenly resources for spiritual maturity. Who is the head of all principality and power The LORD JESUS CHRIST is the Creator and Ruler of the Universe and all its spiritual beings, not a lessor being emanating from God as the Colossian errorists maintained.
