Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary (willful) humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, (Col 2)
And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. (1 Cor 14)
We see a Bible difference between kinds of worship and humility. One is false idolatry of angels and the other is worship of the true God.
One is willful and 'voluntary' like a planned performance, while the other is more spontaneous and sincere. One gives glory to God, while the gives glory to angels, and appears to glorify it's own performance.
One is from a carnal fleshly mind, and the other is the work of the Spirit within the heart.
The Bible also makes a difference between the godly sorrow that works repentance from the heart, and the worldly sorrow that only works death. (2 Cor 7) This coincides with the two different kinds of humility and worship we see in Col 2 and 1 Cor 14: One produces repentance unto salvation by God, while the other only produces a kind of idolatrous death of the spirit and soul.
The context of Col 2, the results are from deceitful traditions of religion, philosophy, and mysticism of man, while 1 Cor 14 is from preaching and prophesying God's word and gospel.
And so, we are seeing a difference between worship and humility that is made by the devil, that man voluntarily participates in. The form of it is more mechanical and deceptive in nature and appearance, vs that of God which is obviously unplanned, true, and thus spiritually productive for the good of the soul and spirit.
We are obviously seeing a practical difference in matters of worship, humility, and practical results between man's own made up and routine religion vs God's spontaneous pure religion: One remains carnal minded from an insincere heart, which only produces more ungodly living,
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
While the other is spiritual with an honest heart, that produces the good fruit of righteousness.
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
And so we see what willful worship and humility is, as compared to worshipping God in the Spirit.
What therefore are the specifics of the tradition, philosophy, and mysticism of angels in Col 2, that is believed and practiced by some? And it threatens to corrupt the true worship of God among others, and turn their worship and humility into the phony and practiced displays of carnal men and women?
