The purpose of Levitical law was not to introduce arbitrary and oppressive religious rules onto the people of Israel, nor was the purpose of Levitical law to stroke God’s ego with intensive worship requirements. No, the purpose of Levitical Law was to give mankind a definitive definition for sin, sanctify the nation of Israel, and usher in the advent of the Redeemer – the One who would provide the means for man to fulfill God’s will. In this week’s podcast, we will do an overview of the 5th Dispensation – the Dispensation of the Law.
Myths about angels abound in religious and secular society. We’ll wrap up our series on Satan, fallen angels, and demons by looking at Holy Angels, and the myths about angels. Do angels have wings? Do they wear robes? Do they do anything other than sing worship songs? Do we have guardian angels? One of the reasons we have so many questions about angels is because the Bible says relatively little about them – and for good reason! We’ll discuss that reason in the podcast. But we’ll start by asking an interesting question – If God is all-powerful, why does He allow Satan to exist? Why doesn’t He wipe out the villains of the Bible? ARE they the villains of the Bible (the answer will surprise you!). So get ready to explore myths about angels on this week’s episode.
Selling your soul to the Devil. It sounds like something out of Faustian legends or a horror movie. But the truth is that people willingly enter into agreements with evil spiritual entities in order to reap material rewards (fame and fortune) in exchange for furthering their evil agenda. Unfortunately, people can also enter into these agreements indirectly by exposing themselves to occult influence and opening themselves up to false spirituality. If you were to tell these people – you are selling your soul to the Devil, they would dismiss you. But they are slowly corrupted by the demonic forces until they end up doing their will anyway. Unlike fallen angels, demons cannot physically manifest. They can only possess and corrupt. And selling your soul to the Devil is one of their favorite ways to achieve their goals. In this week’s podcast, we will discuss the reality of selling your soul to the Devil and how it works.
Evil Angels (or Fallen Angels) influence our lives and the world around us. They wage an unseen war with the Holy Angels of God in the unseen realm. The evil angels oppose the will and plan of God, while the Holy Angles fight to carry out His will and minister to us. But we are not just bystanders in this conflict. Our prayers and obedience empower the Holy Angels, while our pride, false worship, and indifference can shift the battle in the favor of the evil angels. We’ll discuss these topics (along with discovering the TRUE identity of the entity worshiped by Islamics as “Allah”) in this week’s podcast.For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason
What are Demons and Fallen Angels? Are they two terms for the same spiritual entities, or are they distinct creatures, differing greatly in power, position, and origin? The Bible makes it clear that demons and fallen angels are NOT the same. But what are they, and how do they interact with Satan? I discuss this in this week’s podcast:
Satan is the god of Death. Part of the curse God pronounced on Satan in Genesis 3 was that “dust would be his food”. We know from earlier in that passage, that “dust” denoted the physical death of men. Thus Satan was cursed to desire and “hunger” for man’s death, while ALSO desiring man’s worship! This contradiction in desire resulted in Satan’s insanely twisted love/hate relationship with humanity. He is the god of Death because he wants to destroy us, but since he wants to be like God, he covets our worship and devotion. It also helps explain his post-fall personality and characteristics. We will explore what all that means in this week’s podcast.For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason
What was Satan like before he fell from grace? Of course, we currently know him as the Enemy and the adversary of God’s plan, but was he created that way? It would be illogical and contradictory for God to create someone to thwart him, and the Bible makes it clear that Satan was originally a good Angel who bore the title of “Lucifer” – the light bearer. But what was Lucifer like? And why did he abandon his angelic station to become the evil entity we call Satan? We’ll examine these questions in this week’s podcast.For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason
Is Satan Real? This is actually a pertinent question in Christian philosophy because it remains somewhat controversial. The secular world believes the idea of “Satan” constitutes a fake “boogeyman” that Christians made up to excuse their bad behavior and account for the existence of pain and conflict in their theology. Even some Christian theologians dismiss the idea of a personal “Devil”, seeing Satan as more of a general description of evil. But the Bible makes it clear that there is a sentient, intelligent, and malevolent being in the world, who, along with similar sinister entities, desire our destruction. In order to overcome them, we need to know who they are and how they operate.This podcast begins our series on spiritual warfare, which has proven to be the most popular subject matter on the Faith By Reason website.For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason
