Are all religions really paths to God? According to St. Paul, the answer is no. In this episode, Steve Wood explores how many of the religions in the Roman Empire—and even some early Colossian Christians—were unknowingly participating in what Scripture calls the religion of demons.
Drawing from Colossians and Ephesians, Steve unpacks Paul’s eight terms for demonic powers—“thrones,” “dominions,” “principalities,” “authorities,” “powers,” “elemental spirits,” “angels,” and “spiritual hosts of wickedness.” The Colossians were worshipping Jesus while still fearing and honoring these dark powers, underestimating Christ’s supremacy.
Discover how Paul’s message calls believers to reject every form of spiritual compromise and to stand firm in the truth that Christ has already disarmed the powers and principalities and transferred us from the dominion of darkness into His kingdom.
