The Dark Side of the Cosmos - Episode 055
What do the deep and outer darkness have to do with each other? A survey of the dark side of the cosmos, from the deep to Sheol, to Hades and Gehenna--how does Scripture talk about these places and how related are they? Also, a discussion on the nature of hell--is eternal conscious torment a biblical idea?

It's Not the Years, Honey... - Episode 052
The ancient world did not use numbers in the way that we use them today. Learning about this can help us see Genesis 1 as historical account while acknowledging that creation may not have happened just as described. Michael LeFebvre's book, The Liturgy of Creation, explains how the Torah's dating system is not based on precise chronology, but rather is based on the festival calendar of Israel--and this actually gives us more evidence of Genesis as historical account! **New website is here!!! 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/

The Architecture of Worship (Worship, Part 7) - Episode 048
The architecture of worship space reflects the theology, doctrine, and organization of a faith tradition. Using the book, Sacred Power, Sacred Space, we examine the history of the early Christian churches and their spaces and reflect on what that means for us today from the perspective of both high and low liturgical traditions.**New website is here!!! 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/

Spirit of Organization (Curses, Part 4; Spiritual Realm, Part 6) - Episode 046
Spirits are not just entities. Is there a "real" spirit of jealousy? What about a spirit of drunkenness? Unpack Scripture to see how it uses the term "spirit" in a much broader way than spiritual beings. Come see how the generational curse crowd takes something true but hides the holistic way we should be dealing with our problems.**New website is here!!! 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/ Cosmic Corner on Faith Unaltered, What is a Spirit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns0Psz9hRJc&ab_channel=FaithUnaltered 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
