The Book of Colossians

"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." (Colossians 2:6-8). Do heavenly bodies have any influence over our lives? Is there any relationship between diet and spiritual living? Do the Eastern religions have anything to offer the evangelical Christian?  These contemporary questions are the very issues Paul dealt with in his magnificent epistle to the Colossians. Many Bible scholars have concluded that "Colossians" is the most profound letter Paul ever wrote.
