Hey, I have been a Chatolic but since I have find this forum and your religion I've been wondering.
Why do you read the Bible in a so literally way? The Bible was written with different stiles, like a poetry, for example the apocalypsis is entirely symbolic. The genesis too.
Why do you call yourself True Christian? You're a branch, of a branch of the Church. You don't have a Pope, descendant of the first one selected by Jesus. You don't have a central house, as we do. You are another bunch of people that didn't like the way of praying to Jesus and decided to do it by your way.
Also, your KJV has a problem with verse.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
It's wrong, because it should be:
Beware lest any man spoil you through [false] philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
The transcripcion of the French and Spanish Bible of that verse is the following:
Do not be enslaved by anyone with the emptiness of a false philosophy, inspired purelyhuman tradition and the elements of the world, and not after Christ.
So, because of a mising word you weren't able to understand this verse and denied any kind of philosophy. I've spoken with Pastor Ezequiel and he didn't denied anything of this, I'll will show you part of the mail.

I understand by false a philosophy like Nietzche's who said that the christianity is one of the worst things that happened to the human race when it incorporated the idea of guilty.
Or the Epicureanism that claim that there is not god, but that pure pleasure is the ultimate good and pain is the ultimate evil.
Instead, a true philosophy could be the one of Saint Thomas Aquinas who proved God existence through the five statements:
God is simple, without composition of parts, such as body and soul, or matter and form.
God is perfect, lacking nothing. That is, God is distinguished from other beings on account of God's complete actuality.
God is infinite. That is, God is not finite in the ways that created beings are physically, intellectually, and emotionally limited. This infinity is to be distinguished from infinity of size and infinity of number.
God is immutable, incapable of change on the levels of God's essence and character.
God is one, without diversification within God's self. The unity of God is such that God's essence is the same as God's existence. In Thomas's words, "in itself the proposition 'God exists' is necessarily true, for in it subject and predicate are the same."
He also changed Aristoteles teorys from agnostic to christrians.
Thomas's five proofs for the existence of God take some of Aristotle's assertions concerning principles of being. For Thomas, God as Prima Causa (first cause) comes from Aristotle's concept of the Unmoved Mover and asserts that God is the ultimate cause of all things.
If you claim this is false then you would be claiming that God is limitated, and false.
