It's all Relative?

As I was reading Polhill's article on Colossians I found it particularly interesting the number of cults and views that were threatening the Colossians' faith. The fact of how many their were makes me think of present time and just how applicable this letter is today. It is definitely a letter that could be seen as showing that humanity never changes, but that we have always been depraived and of ourselves we are not going to get better. In the problem this letter faces of false teachers leading people astray this can be seen by just looking around at our culture and the millions of views to follow that just lead away from Jesus. So this problem faced by the Colossians is one that still plagues the church today and needs to be addressed.
