	Laodicea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Laodiceans are nearly to the end of a long road that has led the church step by step, a little here, a little there, into apostasy.
		Laodiceans are lukewarm about everything except their faith in the democratic principle of majority rule.
		Laodiceans are not clothed in the righteousness of the saints; they do not even have on the clothes of their own self righteousness as did the Jews, they are completely naked.

	The Development of the Canon of the New Testament - Epistle to the Laodiceans
		This tantalizing reference, though somewhat ambiguous as to who wrote whom (see [Lightfoot] for a discussion), offers a tempting invitation to some unknown author to provide the text of an Epistle of Paul to the Laodiceans, who were the neighbors of the congregation at Colossae.
		After the author has expressed his joy at the faith and virtue of the Laodiceans, he warns them against heretics, and exhorts them to remain faithful to Christian doctrines and the Christian pattern of life.
		The Epistle to the Laodiceans is included in all 18 German Bibles printed prior to Luther's translation, beginning with the first German Bible, issued by Johann Mental at Strassburg in 1488.

	LAODICEANS, EPISTLE TO THE in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
		The words used by the apostle may mean: (1) a letter written by the Laodiceans; (2) an epistle written by Paul from Laodicea; (3) an epistle written to the Laodiceans, and to be procured from them by the Colossians.
		Of course, it closes with an injunction to the Laodiceans to exchange epistles with the Colossians.
		NOTE: A very remarkable circumstance in regard to the apocryphal Epistle to the Laodiceans is mentioned by Nestle in the preface to his edition of the Latin New Testament, published in Stuttgart in 1906.

	Providence PCA Church Plant- Fayetteville, NC
		The Laodiceans aren’t accused of the doctrinal compromise of the church of Pergamos or even the moral sinfulness of the church in Thyatira, but they are still called the worst, Christ is not merely angry with the church in Laodicea, he is disgusted.
		Christ says to the Laodiceans "I know your deeds" and the implication is that Christ knows their hearts and that he knows them better than men who might be fooled by outward appearances.
		It is in the midst of Christ’s warning to all the churches that are like the Laodicean church, and the door that He is standing at is the door of the Church.

	Understanding The Apocalypse--Sermon 8 from the Revelation
		This is the Laodiceans' church, not the Body and Bride of Christ.
		The Laodiceans were like the frog riding on a log, being carried down a raging, flood swollen river.
		Likewise, the Laodiceans are said to be naked, indicating their lack of righteous covering and standing before God.

		Christ counsels Laodiceans to "anoint thine eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see," Revelation 3:18, and it is ironic that the people who exported eye-salve needed to cure their own spiritual blindness.
		Laodiceans are the weak, lukewarm Christians, and the only way to get them zestos, or boiling hot, is to chasten them.
		But the Laodiceans are going to have to repent and come to Christ first; they have to open the door and admit they have been wrong.

	JUST WHAT DO YOU MEAN - "LAODICEAN CHURCH"
		The Laodiceans on the other hand are represented by the outer court, cast out by Christ due to their liberalism (Rev 3:19-29; 11:2).
		But the Laodicean era is not only overcome by the world and arises during a time of increasing gentile dominance (Philadelphia arises during a time of the peak of the Israelitish powers), it also rejects truths once understood by the Philadelphian era.
		From the context it is clear that half of the Laodicean Church will wake up to their shocking state, but only at the time of the Tribulation, while the other half will be shut out of the Kingdom.

		Despite its insipid and suspicious character, this compilation was frequently copied in the Middle Ages, and enjoyed a certain degree of respect, although St. Jerome had written of it: ab omnibus exploditur.
		Anyway, methinks that if Paul were so keen to have the letter to the Laodiceans read by the Colossians it would have been a richer text than the one posted.
		Also, if it were that short Paul would have included it as an appendix to Colossians rather than ask the church there to go to the trouble of getting such a short piece of writing from another city.

	Understanding The Apocalypse--Sermon 8 from the Revelation
		Because he was on top of the log he thought he was in control of his situation, he had no idea he was being swept away.
		Although the Laodiceans had no burdens they were aware of, in reality they were burdened down with the weight of sin.
		If the Laodiceans could not redeem themselves, regardless of their wealth, they were poor.

	Laodicea Warning
		These two groups are the Lukewarm group indicated in the Laodicean message in Revelations 3:14-17 and of course the other group which are the true and faithful stewards of His church.
		If you have fallen into Laodiceanism which is being lukewarm and loving the materialistic things of the world, you must come to Him and repent.
		There is yet a chance to remedy their state, and the Laodicean message is full of encouragement; for the backslidden church may yet buy the gold of faith and love, may yet have the white robe of the righteousness of Christ, that the shame of their nakedness need not appear.

	The Laodiceans' Way
		If so, there is hope for you because in fact Laodiceans don't think this way.
		Real Laodiceans would never admit to such possibilities.
		Oh yes, there is a way that seems right to the Laodiceans now; but later, in the tribulation they will repent, and at the cost of their lives gain their crowns of victory.

	Does God Want You to be Rich? :: Library :: Bible Tools
		End-time Laodiceans live in the most affluent time ever on earth, a time of ever-increasing knowledge, rapid transportation, swift communication, building, buying and selling and exciting entertainment.
		Laodiceans consider themselves rich and wealthy, carelessly assuming their financial status indicates God's blessing on their lifestyle (Revelation 3:17).
		Christ warns the Laodiceans that if they do not change their ways, they will have "to buy gold from Me refined in the fire [tribulation], that you may be rich" (Revelation 3:18)!

	Laodicea
		If they were deceived by false teachers, they must leave them as soon as possible, and be "zealous" and "repent;" for every one that is found in that state when Jesus leaves the Sanctuary, and ceases to plead for the honest ones among them, will be destroyed.
		The charge he brings against the Laodiceans is that they are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold.
		This shows at once to the deceived Laodiceans the objects they lack, and the extent of their destitution.

	Laodiceans, Epistle To The (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		The apostle's injunction in Colossians 4:16 suggested the forgery, and such currency as it ever attained was due to the support which that passage was supposed to give to it.
		It is well known that the words "at Ephesus" (Ephesians 1:1) in the inscription of the epistle are very doubtful.
		These words could not well be used in regard to the church at Ephesus, which Paul himself had founded, and in reference to persons among whom he had lived for three years, and where he even knew personally "every one" of the Christians (Acts 20:31).

		Flurry, by saying it was the Laodiceans who gained control of the Philadelphia era you have failed to remember how history has shown us what happened to the Smyrna era; how the synagogue of Satan attempted to overcome them.
		Christ does tell the Laodiceans that they are self-righteous and pharisaical, that money, power, and stature are more important to them than concern for the brethren.
		The Laodicean leader's victory over the man of sin has caused him to become self-confident, and allowed Satan to cloud his mind with a self-righteous attitude.

		Laodicean water was a "Transferable Blessing." The water was transferred from its source by a man-made tube six miles long.
		It will be interesting to note that everything the Laodicean church of today has tossed aside, holiness of life, doctrinal correctness based on the Old fashion Bible, heavenly rewards instead of an earthly kingdom, is what the Lord will command them to return.

		When it came to haberdashery, the Laodiceans were among the trendsetters of their day.
		Perhaps the Laodiceans still talked faithfully about the importance of studying and sharing God’s Word, but what was on their minds and on their lips much more of the time was the wisdom and news of the world.
		The Laodiceans might well have all the worldly wisdom necessary to heal their eyes, but unless they received the light of God’s truth they would continue to walk in darkness.

		They that were foolish took their lamps (i.e., their spirits were kindled to life), and took no oil with them (i.e., no extra oil): But the wise took oil in their vessels ("earthen vessels" equals bodies in 2 Cor.

		They clothe themselves in the garments of their own righteousness, imagining themselves to be rich and increased with goods and in need of nothing, when they need daily to learn of Jesus, His meekness and lowliness.
		Christ looks mournfully upon His professed people who feel rich and increased in the knowledge of the truth, and who are yet destitute of the truth in life and character.

	Paul's Letter to the Assembly of the Laodiceans Christianity
		It is interesting to make a comparison with the now existing fidelity of the letter to the Laodiceans, and with the letters of the Apostle which are contained in the New Testament regarding its linguistic correspondence.
		The Laodiceans were backsliding just like the Colossians from a pure, spiritual Christianity into a ceremonious Church-Christianity, against which Paul in his letter makes a strong case with even stronger words.
		The church of the early middle-ages could have been very sensitive towards these writings as being an accusation against their own secularized practices, and that is why they deleted this letter without hesitation.

		Some expound these words of an epistle which St. Paul wrote to the Laodiceans, and is since lost, for that now extant is no more than a collection of sentences out of the other epistles of St. Paul; therefore it cannot be considered even as a part of that epistle.
		Others explain that the text means a letter sent to St. Paul by the Laodiceans, which he sends to the Colossians to be read by them.
