Col. 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Col. 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding,
to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God,
and of the Father, and of Christ;
Col. 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Col. 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Col. 2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
Col. 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Col. 2:7 Rooted and built up in him,
and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught,
abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Col. 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Col. 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
As far as I can determine all theologians teach that, as pictured in ancient documents, has THREE HEADS. However, this same quality can dwell in believers who do not submit to commercial performance worship:

Heb. 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
g5219. hupakouo,from 5259 and 191; to hear under (as a subordinate), i.e. to listen attentively; by implication, to heed or conform to a command or authority:
Jesus was filled in a visible-audible sense with God's Word or Logos. That is the Regulative Principle OPPOSITE of personal experiences or comments, rhetoric, singing, playing instruments or acting. The Sabbath never meant a day of worship but REST: REST demands stopping everything so that you can obey the command to teach that which is written for our learning.Luc. Icar.9 As to Gods, I need hardly deal with that question. For some of them God is a number; some swear by dogs and geese and plane-trees
2. Some again banish all other Gods, and attribute the control of the universe to a single one; I got rather depressed on learning how small the supply of divinity was. But I was comforted by the lavish souls who not only make many, but classify; there was a First God, and second and third classes of divinity. Yet again, some regard the divine nature as unsubstantial and without form, while others conceive it as a substance. Then they were not all disposed to recognize a Providence; some relieve the Gods of all care,
-splendor , lustre, splendor, honor, dignity, excellence,
I. sheen, brightness, brilliance, lustre, splendor. God is LIGHT with the same meaning as WORD but neither are another god
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day?
If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
THE LATIN GODHEAD IN COLOSSIANS 2:9
Latin Divine: dīvus a god, deity, divine being
A Church of Christ of which Jesus is the Head is commanded to "teach that which has been taught." It has no other function.
Latin Godhead or Divine is: dīvīnĭtas Divine quality, divine nature, excellence; of the orator
Dīvīnus I. of or belonging to a deity, divine “divina studia colere divina facta, i. e., religious exercise, divine worship, sacrifice, etc Divine ORIGIN.
2. The divine, that which comes from God, nihil est divino divinius, Sen. Ep. 66, 11.— 3. That which is under the sanction of a god; a. By divine inspiration, prophetically: “plura divine praesensa et praedicta reperiri
Divine stŭdĭum , I. a busying one's self about or application to a thing; assiduity, zeal, eagerness, fondness, inclination, desire, exertion, endeavor, study: (b). A place for study, a study, school (late Lat.): “philosophum (se egit) in omnibus studiis, templis, locis,”
Col. 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Col. 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised
with the circumcision made without hands,
in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Col. 2:12 Buried with him in baptism,
wherein also ye are risen with him
through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Col. 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
hath he quickened together with him,
having forgiven you all trespasses;
Col. 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances
that was against us,
which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Col. 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers,
he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col. 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink,
or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col. 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Col. 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward
in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels,
intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Col. 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Col. 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ
from the rudiments of the world,
why, as though living IN the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Col. 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
Col. 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;)
after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Col. 2:23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
