Part 2 of the third Parable of Enoch.  In this parable, we find some interesting bits about Noah and what's behind the flood, and ruminate on salvation, critical thinking, dangerous books, and what's upcoming on the podcast.  Bit of a rambly episode at the end, but just opening the door a bit to consider some thoughts and importance of where we place our foundations.      **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/   Michael Heiser's Reader's Commentary, Parables of Enoch: https://www.amazon.com/Companion-Book-Enoch-Commentary-Parables/dp/1948014416    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

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/  Livestream mentioned in episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KktPfR7e71c  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

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
