What does Colossians 2:23 say about false teachers?

Answered in 1 source

Colossians 2:23 indicates that false teachers promote practices that may seem wise but are ultimately worthless and lead to spiritual bondage.

In Colossians 2:23, Paul critiques false teachers for promoting man-made rules and rituals that lack genuine value. Their teachings may appear wise, involving will worship and self-imposed humility, but they do not honor God nor lead to true righteousness. Instead, such teachings put burdens on believers and distract them from the freedom found in Christ. The passage serves as a warning against following a religion based on human traditions rather than the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ.
