As we saw in our previous episode, a lot of theology can be packed into
just a handful of verses. Colossians 2:6-8 leads to the focus of this
episode, Colossians 2:9-10. These two verses are the pivotal content
for Paul’s response to the Colossian heresy, the Jewish-mystical
elevation of supernatural beings (“angels”) as spiritual authorities and
points of reference for reverence.
