2:18 Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind, (NASB)

There are parallels in the Torah to the idea of avoiding deception and vain religious practices that could rob someone of their spiritual reward (Collosians 2:18). The Torah frequently warns against false teachings, idolatry, and misguided religious practices that lead people away from God’s truth. For example, Deuteronomy 13:1-5 warns against false prophets who lead people astray, emphasizing that even if their signs or wonders come true, they must not be followed if they encourage worship of other gods. Exodus 20:3-5 establishes the commandment against idolatry, reinforcing the idea that devotion should be directed solely toward God. Leviticus 10:1-2 recounts the story of Nadab and Abihu, who offered unauthorized fire before God and were punished, illustrating the dangers of engaging in religious practices that are not divinely sanctioned. These passages align with Colossians 2:18 which warns against being deceived by false humility and misguided religious practices. The Torah consistently emphasizes the importance of staying true to God’s commandments and avoiding influences that could lead to spiritual loss. This is how the NT and Paul teach Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
