A fascinating evening was had by all at our home group, where we are discussing Colossians. The discussion questions (well, not really discussion questions, more like comprehension questions, IMO, that tend to reduce rather than promote discussion) one touched on Colossians 2:8. Two people offered examples of philosophy that had taken people captive. I was not one of the two. The offered examples were the 'prosperity' gospel, so called and Darwinism!
I was gratified to hear that; there aren't that many Christians who are tuned into that as a philosphy that displaces Christ, conceptually, if not actually in all cases, and substitutes the worship of the creature for the creator.
