See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. v.8
Read chapter 2
It's easy to be deceived, it's easy to go with the flow/ the norm, it's easy to get caught up in traditions without really understanding how or why they began. sometimes we're too afraid to question someone that uses big or many words thinking they're smarter than everyone else. sometimes it's scary to change tradition knowing they'll be push back and change is hard. Even if it's something you've believed your whole life and then learn that it's false it can seem extreme but we must remember Christ trumps everything. God's foolishness is wiser than man's wisdom. Even if it's hard to make sense of we must chose Christ. Thoughts may seem harmless but ideas can dictate one's life more severely than a master can control a slave. So beware of these things and search out truth and reasons to something new you may not understand. What about the tradition of Easter?
