The Unseen Realm: Recovering the supernatural worldview of the Bible
By Dr. Michael S. Heiser

The Unseen Realm explores the ancient worldview of the Bible, emphasizing the significance of the divine council and spiritual beings in understanding biblical narratives. He argues that many biblical passages take on new meaning when read through the lens of this supernatural perspective, revealing a complex spiritual world that interacts with humanity. Heiser’s work challenges traditional interpretations and encourages readers to reconsider how they understand key themes in Scripture.

The Origin of Evil Spirits: The Reception of Genesis 6:1-4 in Early Jewish Literature
By Archie T. Wright

The Origin of Evil Spirits examines how early Jewish literature interpreted Genesis 6:1-4, particularly the story of the “sons of God” and the Nephilim, as a foundational narrative for understanding the origin of evil spirits. He explores how this passage was developed in texts like 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and other Second Temple writings, linking the fall of the Watchers with the proliferation of evil in the world. Wright’s work highlights the influence of these interpretations on later Jewish and Christian thought regarding the nature of evil.

Theodicy of Love: Cosmic Conflict and the Problem of Evil
By John C. Peckham

Theodicy of Love presents a framework for understanding the problem of evil through the lens of cosmic conflict and divine love. He argues that God’s love is central to the existence of free will, which inherently allows for the possibility of evil, but also affirms God’s commitment to ultimate justice and restoration. Peckham’s work offers a balanced approach to theodicy, emphasizing both the seriousness of evil and the hope found in God’s loving and redemptive plan.

Erroneous Fallacies Abound for ADL Interpretations

Understanding the importance of proper exegetical arguments when interpreting the Scriptures is crucial for anyone who seeks to engage with the Bible meaningfully. Imagine a group gathered around a table, eager to discuss a particular passage of Scripture. Each person...

Should We Keep The Law?

Should we keep the law? Or do we throw the Law out? I don’t think this dichotomy is a fair assessment of the options that Paul presents as the Apostle to the Gentiles.  And since I consider myself a Gentile, I feel especially compelled to understand Paul’s perspective...

Exegetical Fallacies Create Theological Errors

YES, YES, YES! Thank you, D.A. Carson, for the reminder!  This is just another reason I push so hard to seek sound exegesis with Scripture! Let the text be what it is—an Ancient Text. I struggle to honor the text for what it is.  I get it.  The struggle is real.  But...

Episode 16: Was Sunday Worship an Apostolic Mandate?

It is essential to recognize that the New Testament never refers to Sunday as the Sabbath. Instead, it is always called the first day of the week. Likewise, the term the Lord’s Day, though used by early church fathers for Sunday, does not appear in the New Testament...

Episode 15: Sunday, It’s Role in Christian Worship

Many Covenant Theologians insist that Sunday has replaced the Sabbath and that the Old Testament Sabbath laws now apply to it. This claim has led to widespread beliefs about the origin and significance of Sunday worship in Christian practice.  While Seventh-day...

Episode 14: The Sabbath in the Book of Hebrews

The Book of Hebrews presents the Sabbath not as a literal day of worship but as a typological representation of spiritual rest. This approach is consistent with the broader biblical theme of rest, which extends beyond a weekly observance and points to deeper...

Episode 13 – Sabbath in the Epistles of Paul

Throughout Paul’s writings, the Sabbath is explicitly mentioned only once. Let that reality settle in for a second. Paul, the most prolific Apostolic writer in the New Testament, only mentions Sabbath once. Here is the text: “Therefore let no one pass judgment on you...

Episode 12 – The Sabbath in the Book of Acts

The Book of Acts mentions the Sabbath a total of nine times. However, an examination of these references reveals that none of them provide a basis for mandatory Sabbath observance among either Jewish or Gentile believers. The first mention of the Sabbath occurs in...

Episode 11 – Sabbath in the Gospels

The Gospels highlight three major areas of conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees: His claim to be the Messiah His rejection of the Mishnah and rabbinic traditions (such as ritual handwashing and fasting) The correct way to observe the Sabbath. Among these, the...

Episode 10 – Summarizing What We Learned So Far

Summary of Episodes 1-8 There is no scriptural basis for mandatory Sabbath observance, whether from the claim that it is a creation ordinance or from an appeal to the Law of Moses. The attempt to establish Sabbath-keeping as a binding obligation fails both...

Did the Catholic Church Change the Sabbath to Sunday?

Seventh-day Adventists claim that the weekly Sabbath was changed by Rome and needs to be restored. This idea was first made popular by Ellen G. White and the early founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. [1] And yet, everything Ellen G. White and the Seventh-day...

History is History! Right?

History is History. Right? And when we learn about church history from the Church, it's consistently accurate! Right? As a kid, I remember sitting in many SDA Revelation Seminars and learning about the "change of the Sabbath day" from Sabbath to Sunday. As many of my...

A Shadow of Things to Come

Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. (Col 2:16–17) It's both spiritually energizing and...
