Colossians 2:18-23
18Let no one adisqualify you, binsisting on asceticism and worship of angels, cgoing on in detail about visions, ▼ epuffed up without reason by fhis sensuous mind, 19and gnot hholding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.20If with Christ iyou died to the jelemental spirits of the world, kwhy, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21 l“Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22( mreferring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to nhuman precepts and teachings? 23These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in opromoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are pof no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.
1 Timothy 4:1
Some Will Depart from the Faith
1Now qthe Spirit expressly says that rin later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to sdeceitful spirits and teachings of demons,2 John 9-10
9Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, tdoes not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching uhas both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, vdo not receive him into your house or give him any greeting,
