Poor Reading Comprehension is Unbiblical: A Review of "The Unbiblical Realm" - Episode 105
A review of Heath Henning's book, The Unbiblical Realm: Refuting the Divine Council of Michael Heiser's Deuteronomy 32 Worldview. Spoiler alert: I give this book negative stars. Henning can't even present Dr. Heiser's understanding of the word elohim correctly, which is one of the most basic things that one must get "right" in order to understand much of what Dr. Heiser teaches. (Note: If you want to critique someone, you need to get what they say correct. Otherwise, don't bother.) **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot Genesis Marks the Spot on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/genesismarksthespot Genesis Marks the Spot on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genesismarksthespot/

Let's Blame Augustine: Genesis 6 Historical Intepretation, Part 3 - Episode 104
How much blame does Augustine deserve for the Sethite view of Genesis 6:1-4? A discussion on why I think the "angelic" view of Genesis 6 should be primary, and how the "human" view got solidified over time. Spoiler alert: it's politics. **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot Genesis Marks the Spot on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/genesismarksthespot Genesis Marks the Spot on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genesismarksthespot/ Music credit: "Marble Machine" by Wintergatan Link to Wintergatan’s website: https://wintergatan.net/ Link to the original Marble Machine video by Wintergatan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q&ab_channel=Wintergatan

Angelic DNA, Hybrids, and Calvinball - Episode 099
Jesus says that angels in heaven don't marry, so how could the sons of God in Genesis 6 be spirit beings? How many generations does it take for "Nephilim DNA" to be diluted? How do we get Nephilim after the flood? Modern DNA vs. ancient bloodlines--what's the difference? And what does Calvinball have to do with any of that?

Singleness and the Eschaton - Episode 098
Is singleness what we all have to look forward to in the eschaton? Reviewing Danielle Treweek's book, The Meaning of Singleness: Retrieving an Eschatological Vision for the Contemporary Church. The church has traditionally seen singleness to be THE "eschatological" view, but more recent history has flipped this on its head and now marriage is often elevated in ways that are potentially problematic. Perhaps there's a third way of seeing the eschaton's imagery rather than a battle between singleness OR marriage.
