Wisdom and Works: Parables of Enoch (Part 3) - Episode 111

Part 1 of the third Parable of Enoch.  (Guys, I tried to fit it into one episode, but the more the merrier, right??)  In this parable, we find some interesting bits about Noah and start to see what's behind the flood, and end up ruminating about what this text tells us about salvation--especially between OT and NT.  (To be continued next week!)   **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

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/  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
