Does Colossians 2:8 mean Christians should not study philosophy?
Colossians 2:8 8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
Colossians 2:1 - 23
ESV - 1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face. 2 That their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ.
