Don’t Worship Angels
We know that worship of fallen angels has happened, and also the worship of demonic entities that are posing as something else but check this out.
Colossians 2:18 NIV – Do not let anyone who delights in false – Bible Gateway
18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.
Let’s find scripture with original translations.
Colossians 2:18 WYC – No man deceive you, willing to teach in – Bible Gateway
18 No man deceive you, willing to teach in meekness, and [the] religion of angels, those things which he hath not seen, walking vainly, swollen with wit of his flesh [in-blown with wit of his flesh],
Yikes, that was a lot different. Religion of Angels? Pending more.
We reached out to one of our contacts:
“Paul was in a location where there were many types of false worship, including the worship of Angel’s, as intermediary into heaven (Gnostics), I think it was, where certain people in the church, these people wanted to act like they had special powers with Angels to do things. Paul may have been talking about this?”
Does it seem the church is always a little messed up? It is up to us to make a difference. If you are in the church, and you don’t like what you see, we recommend, not leaving, but staying to make a difference.
