"If you have accepted CHRIST JESUS, as LORD, let HIM be your doctrine. Be rooted and built up in HIM; let faith be your principle, as you were taught, and your thanksgiving, overflowing.
See that no one deceives you with philosophy or any hollow doctrines, not inspired by CHRIST, but by the wisdom of this world. For in HIM, dwells the fullness of GOD, in bodily form. HE is the head of all cosmic power and authority, and, in HIM, you have everything." - Colossians 2:6-10
(Philosophy and the search for wisdom are highly respectable. Philosophies always contain some truth; their danger is in seeming to give a total response to our problems. They are deceptive insofar as they come from philosophers who have in fact had either a limited or questionable experience of human reality. In faith, on the contrary, rather than a discourse on human concerns, we have a person: CHRIST. While all the currents of thought are the product of their day and grow old with time, Paul assures us that all the fullness of GOD is in CHRIST in a human form.)
