Answered in 1 source
It's important for Christians to beware of worldly philosophies because they can lead believers away from the truth found in Christ.
In Colossians 2:8, Paul warns believers to be cautious against philosophies that are rooted in human tradition and deceit. These worldly ideas can distract and corrupt the faith of believers, making them vulnerable to being captured by ideologies that oppose the truth of the gospel. Engaging with philosophies that do not align with scriptural truth can spoil one’s understanding and relationship with Christ. Therefore, Christians are encouraged to ground themselves in the Word of God, seeking knowledge and wisdom from Christ alone, who embodies the truth, rather than being swayed by enticing words of deceit.
