Colossians 2:18
"Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility"
"And worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he"
"Hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind"
If your like most people you love the thought of Angels; I know I do. My wife loved angels so much she had them all over the house. It seem to me like one for ever occasion. We have a large one in our front yard; that we named "Martha" from the Bible. I also called her my angel as well; However the way that we look and think of our angels are their just figures of plastic and concrete.
What Paul was talking about is completely different. Paul had noticed the worshiping of angels was taken place and their minds intruding into things they had not seen; ( They had the knowledge of Gnosticism). The Gnostics separated matter from thought. They concluded that matter was evil and that knowledge was the only requirement for salvation.
Today is no different; there are people that worship Satan and his angels, or Drugs, Alcohol, Porno, Pills, Cigarettes or Pot; and there is most likely that someone is coming up with something new at this moment. If we put our all in to something; then we are "worshiping it". Let us not disclaim Christ, who is our Mediator between God and man. It is an "out right insult" to Christ to use any intercessors but Him. True believers cannot live in the fashions of the world. Let us stay true to the subjection to Christ, who is the Head of His Church.
May God Bless You
And Your Families
