What is Colossians' main warning against false teaching?

• A. Do not ignore philosophy
• B. Embrace all traditions of men without question
• C. Do not let philosophy or human tradition take you captive; hold fast to Christ, who is the fullness of Deity
• D. Avoid studying the Old Testament

Answer: (C)

Colossians warns that the Christian life must not be captured by human philosophy or traditions. The main call is to hold fast to Christ, who is the fullness of Deity in bodily form, and in whom you are complete. This guards against false teachings that add rules, angel worship, or hidden knowledge through human wisdom; the emphasis is on Christ’s supremacy and sufficiency. The book teaches that true fullness is found in Him, not in worldly philosophies or human traditions, and it affirms the need to align all belief and practice with Christ rather than with man-made systems.
