His death is described as a “rescue” that brings about “redemption” from the powers of darkness. Furthermore, believers are to identify with Christ in His death to the “elemental spirits” (στοιχεῖα, stoicheia) of the universe and no longer be enslaved to them. The inference drawn from Christ disarming the powers is that believers need not be subject to certain regulations that are fleeting and syncretistic” The Lexham Bible Dictionary, Logos Bible Software v9.0 Free .&nbsp;</em></p><p>••• “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?” 1 Corinthians 1.18-20, NKJV .&nbsp;</p><p><strong>••• When did our Creator, The Lord Christ Jesus first mention His church?&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>••• When did Christ Jesus first mention the keys to heaven?&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>••• Why did Christ Jesus call Peter satan?&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>••• What Were 3-reasons Why Our Lord Rebuked satan when He was speaking to Peter?&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>••• What is the center of the Biblical Christian Faith?&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>••• What are 7-reasons Why Worldly People are less excited about the Easter season?&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>••• What are 3-aspects of the Mystery of the Cross?&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>••• What is the Power of the Cross?&nbsp;</st
