Colossians 2:8 says” See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
Warning us about the philosophies of men of this world.
But there is a philosophy which is vain and deceitful; and while it pleases men’s fancies, hinders their faith: such are curious speculations about things above us, or no concern to us. Those who walk in the way of the world, are turned from following Christ
The circumcision of the heart, the crucifixion of the flesh, the death and burial to sin and to the world, and the resurrection to newness of life, set forth in baptism, and by faith wrought in our hearts, prove that our sins are forgiven, and that we are fully delivered from the curse of the law. Through Christ, we, who were dead in sins, are quickened. Christ’s death was the death of our sins; Christ’s resurrection is the quickening of our souls.
You can cross reference that scripture with Ephesians 5:6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
1 Timothy 6:20 says” guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge.
In other words what these verses are telling us is not to put your confidence in your intellect or man’s intellect when it comes to the Word of God. Remember the World doesn’t understand the wisdom of God only God’s children receives the wisdom of God when we ask for it.
For the days are evil and it’s only gonna get worst, saints guard your heart for there are many who awaits to prey and turn you away from the truth of the Lord. Don’t listen to their doctrine, stay close to God stay in His Word. AMEN
