Beware of mysticism

I used to love and endorse mysticism and teachers like Dallas Willard and Richard Foster, but I was wrong.

Paul warned us against being deceived by such sophisticated and persuasive philosophies. (Colossians 2:4)

Beware, when people confuse the purpose of the law(it's not to guide us to be good, but to show God's disdain and hatred for sin, and the reality of our sin)
Beware, when someone tells you everyone who deserves to be saved will be saved.
Beware, when someone tells you a gospel devoid of the 3 essentials: Christ came in the flesh, died for sin, and was resurrected.
Beware, when philosophy is mixed with truths from the Bible.

If someone's not content with fixing their mind on Christ, how he loved us by giving up his life for us, how he drank God's wrath on our behalf, how he overcame death, and all the glories of God shown in the scripture is not enough, then no amount of sophisticated wisdom will do them any good.

Run from mysticism, run from these seemingly spiritual man, but are devoid of understanding of Biblical Christ, go and understand what scripture says for yourself, they are sufficient for wisdom and salvation.
