"Demonology 101" | Dealing with Demons (Part 1) | Pastor Peter Haas

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Casting out demons was one of the primary ministries of Christ so why don't we talk about it more? A lot of churches avoid the topic of demons simply because, they don't understand what the bible actually teaches about them. Thus, Pastor Peter dives deep into the topic: Who is Satan? Was he a Cherubim, Seraphim or fallen angel? Where and when did he get his army of fallen beings? And what exactly are demons? (Mt. 8:16; Matthew 4:23-25; Eph 6:11-12; 1 Kings 22:21-22; Ezek 28; Genesis 6:1-4; Job 38)

Thank you so much for teaching on this! God bless you and your family! I am so excited for this series and to learn more!
Absolutely awesome! Thank you! This is amazing. I love that more people are on the Heiser train. Lol.
What's up will lol
@@MatthewHastreiter haha, hey man! Doing well overall, all things considered. How you doing?
This video was fantastic, it's all grounded in fantastic, believing scholarship. It's essentially a distilled, crash course, cliffnotes version of Dr Michael Heiser's book, Unseen Realm.
If you haven't read it yet, I absolutely wholeheartedly endorse it. It's a very thorough and sober minded work on how the biblical authors thought about the world, obviously specifically the spiritual reality.
The information itself is absolutely solid, but better than that is how Heiser teaches the reader to think like a first century Jewish follower of Jesus would think, to look at the scriptures through their eyes, much more than we are naturally inclined to if we just look at God's word from our modern, western, individualistic, post enlightenment, secular materialism laced perspective.
Secular materialism has crept in to the thinking of many of us Christians in extremely subtle ways. It's like how fish, if they could have deeper thoughts, likely wouldn't even think about their whole world being wet, but being in water defines their fundamental mode of existing.
We live in so much of the materialist mindset that we don't even realize when it's coloring our assumptions of the meanings of scripture.
For instance, through reading John Walton's book, The Lost World of Genesis 1, I've come to agree with his conclusion: Gen 1 is simply not about material creation. Regardless of whether one is young earth or old earth, instant creation with the appearance of age, or 14 billion years and theistic evolution, Gen 1 and 2 have absolutely ZERO to say about it.
Shocking, right?
But it's only shocking to our modern physics and chemistry obsessed mindset.
If you think like an ancient Jew, and look into the usage of the word Bara in Hebrew, you see clearly many instances that it doesn't mean physically creating something. David asked God to Bara in him a new heart after his nonsense with Uriah and Bathsheba. No one takes that to mean God physically gave him a new heart. It's not even talking about the organ that pumps blood, but even if it was, no one would assume that there was no heart there to begin with, or that God physically created one and gave it to him.
To press the gen narrative for scientific detail is a little like demanding to know the biological mechanisms for why a purple dinosaur can talk, much less sing along with school children, or why we let such a clearly dangerous creature around children to begin with. That clearly misses the point.
Similar to that, we are asking the wrong question entirely if we ask for those kind of details in Genesis.
Anyway, agree with me or not, it's something to think about.
Doing much better!! Hope you and the family are okay. Yeah this is definitely more theologically on key. I'm about to watch part 2. Admittedly there's a couple things about this subject that I wasn't fully aware of. Very insightful will. I'm going to have to check out that book. Yeah I mean let's face it, there's a whole lot of different opinions and far fetched earthly viewpoints about this subject that aren't necessarily biblical. And if they are "biblical'', they're usually grossly misinterpreted. But it's still one of my favorite subjects in regards to the supernatural and the origins of Satan. And his overall plan to deceive God's people. Thanks for bringing up that book I'm excited to read it! Be blessed brother 🙏
Very interesting pastor Peter! Can’t wait to hear the rest of the series!! 🙌🏼 Blessings!
I need to bookmark 15:35 so I can look up those spiritual being names in the future.
