Don't contact my pastor to excommunicate me or set me aside for church discipline for this one :) I'm just looking at a strange passage in Ezekiel 28, and others, and trying to make sense of the language while performing some creative mental gymnastics :) I'm not promoting this view as true by any means lol. Just thinking out loud.

If you don't think God has a sense of humor, check out this hilarious story! Trying to pick up girls in Romania will never be the same!

We are starting The Bennis The Menace Book Club today! Tag along as we read through and discuss some pretty amazing books. Our first read will be The Unseen Realm by Dr. Michael Heiser. If there's a book you need to read this coming year, it's got to be The Unseen Realm. This book has completely changed my life and my perspective on the Bible, God, and the grand scheme of things. I think it will do the same for you! Tag along as we read through the book and discuss! Let's get into it!

There are always technical difficulties, but I mean come on Eli!

Some people believe believe the book of Revelation is literal and everything in it will happen to a tee. Some people believe it's all metaphorical and eventing in the letter needs to be interpreted. Where do you stand? Do you think there will be literal dragons and trumpets and a mark of the beast and so on? Or do you think these things are all expressing spiritual truths but won't literally manifest in our dimension? It's an interesting discussion. Let's get into it!

Predestination is one of the most debated concepts in Christianity. Some say it's the way God showed his love for us, others say it makes God a monster. What do you think? Let's get into it!

As Christians, we've always been told there aren't any other gods, and when the Bible talked about "other gods" it was simply talking about wood and stone objects silly people in the past used to worship. But is that really what the Bible says? I dare you to read Psalm 82 in the ESV or NET translation (the 2 most accurate translations to date based on the Dead Sea Scrolls) and tell me if you still believe the God of the Bible, Yahweh, is speaking to stone and wood carving. Let's get into it!

Christians Don't Go To Heaven! We Go To The Gold Cube In The Sky! It's called the New Jerusalem. Don't believe me? Read Rev. 21-21. Most Christians mistakenly believe we will spend eternity in heaven with God. Unfortunately, that concept isn't found anywhere in the Bible. What we do find in Revelation 21 and 22 is that after the Millennial Reign God destroys this reality and create a New Heaven and a New Earth and Gods dwelling place and holy city, the New Jerusalem! Sounds crazy? Let's get into it!

It's 2v2 on this podcast! Eli and Claudiu vs. Ben and Dennis. Here's an overview of Ben and Dennis's views.

Have you ever heard of the Deuteronomy 32 Worldview? Read along with us in Deut. 32:7-10 as we explore this concept. Have you ever heard that Yahweh gave the nations over to the lesser gods at the Tower of Babel, but Yahweh took for himself the nation of Israel as his own possession? This will have drastic implications on how you understand the entire Bible! LET'S GET INTO IT!

Let's talk about the practical implications of how the book of Revelation impacts your day to day life. LET'S GET INTO IT!

If Revelation can't be understood, isn't that a problem? Doesn't that cast doubt on the rest of the Bible? How can we know what we believe is true if we're so clueless about the book of Revelation? LET'S GET INTO IT!

Some people say Revelation was written in AD 60's, some say in AD 90's. When it was written will drastically determine the interpretation of the whole book! In AD 70 the Jewish temple was destroyed by the Romans. So if Revelation was written in the 60's, then the book might be referring to events that took place at the destruction of the temple in AD 70. If Revelation was written after the temple was destroyed, AD 90's, then we are waiting for revelation to all be fulfilled at some future point in time. LETS GET INTO IT!
