> Manicheism
It's syncretic true - just as Judeo-Christianity - still it really should be counted as a Christian denomination, even the Church itself is very much Christian. It was a heresy for western Christians not paganism or such and later spawns (I use this term since it wasn't really direct descendant) of Manicheism, like Bogumils were also counted as heresies.
> Colossians 2:8
I'm sure Augustine or Aquinas dabbled in the raison d'etre heh, learned something today of philosophy according to the Bible. I can't say they did ofc, but maybe someone better informed can correct me if they didn't.
