HE DISARMED THE POWERS AND AUTHORITIES
HE DISARMED THE POWERS AND AUTHORITIES Colossians 2:15 Excerpt By fulfilling the demands of the Law , Christ disarmed the demonic powers and authorities ( cf . 1:16 ; 2:10 ), triumphing over them ( cf . 2 Cor. 2:14 ). As a result believers are delivered from these evil powers which inspire legalistic rules about foods and festivals.
