Description
The Colossians had become challenged in their faith as they were tempted to juxtapose Christ with the demonic elements in their environs. Because the Colossians wanted to attain the fullness of God, false teachers came and introduced them to a mystic knowledge of God. The tenets were voluntary ascetic practices and the worship of angels who may have been reputed as intermediaries between God and man.[1] This Epistle and particularly from 1:3-20, discusses the Cosmic Christ as Paul speaks of Christ in exalted terms for, he is not only the Lord of the Church but also the ruler of the universe ( 15-17).[2] This exegetical paper provides a brief synopsis of the deity of Christ, the critical Introduction of Colossians, textual criticism, a verse-by-verse explanation, and the implications for the 21st Century Church. The historical-critical method is used in this paper
