Pluralism is the idea that all religions are equal and true. Syncretism is the idea that a person can create their own religion by combining other religions. Paul writes this letter to the Colossians to demonstrate how the Christian Life delivers without any help from the deceptive ideas of the cults or human reasoning. The Christian experience is not only defined by a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, but also through certain attitudes, actions, and convictions defined by truth.
