Colossians 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.
Through the ages many have been spoiled by weird teachings of one philosopher or another. They are usually mean who know nothing of scripture and reject it without having applied it to their lives.
Most of the times those whose vain deceit lead them astray are not satisfied to go alone. They need to spread their confusion and gain followers to validate themselves.
Paul tells us to beware of these. They follow after the things of the world. The way to be on the safe side is to make sure any teaching is one that will lead you to a closer walk with the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
He can offer eternal life, peace that passes understanding, joy unspeakable and full of glory to those who love him. There is no other religion, philosophy or teaching in the world that can offer this and back it up with their own death, burial, and resurrection.
