Colossians 2:18-23
Let no one condemn you by delighting in ascetic practices and the worship of angels, claiming access to a visionary realm. Such people are inflated by empty notions of their unspiritual mind.He doesn’t hold on to the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held together by its ligaments and tendons, grows with growth from God.If you died with Christ to the elements of this world, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations:“ Don’t handle, don’t taste, don’t touch”?All these regulations refer to what is destined to perish by being used up; they are human commands and doctrines.Although these have a reputation for wisdom by promoting self-made religion, false humility, and severe treatment of the body, they are not of any value in curbing self-indulgence.
