Colossians 2:18
Let no man beguile you of your reward. Rob you of your reward by
his guile. He will do so if you become unworthy of it by
a voluntary humility. By a humility that is willed, and therefore
is affected rather than real. It is probable that the false teachers
made a great pretense of humility, and taught a self-abasement, like
that of monks clad in sackcloth, or who go barefoot.
And worshiping of angels. One feature of the heresy against which
Paul warned them was angel worship. Angel worship, the worship of
saints, dead or living, of pope, or any created thing, is forbidden.
"Worship God", said the angel before whom John bowed (Revelation 19:10).
Church history states that at a later period Michael the archangel was
worshiped.
Intruding in the things which he hath not seen. "Dwelling in the
thich which he hath seen" (Revised Version). Claiming special
revelations. He refers to "no man".
