Iron and Myth Podcast: The Origin of Demons

DEMONS ARE the spirits of the giants destroyed in the Flood of Noah.

At least, that’s what Jews of the Second Temple period and the early Christian church believed.

Author and pastor Doug Van Dorn, bestselling author and award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa, and Director of the Institute of Biblical Anthropology Dr. Judd Burton join Derek Gilbert’s podcast for our monthly Iron and Myth round table to discuss the origin of evil spirits. We dig into what the Bible says about these spirits, extrabiblical texts, and startling evidence that the demigod heroes of Greece like Herakles and Perseus were the Rephaim of the Amorites, Canaanites, and Hebrews.

Podcast: American Demons, Sorcery and Big Tech

 

Western Christians have been so desensitized to the supernatural that we usually don’t recognize evil when it’s staring us in the face.

Joining View From the Bunker for our monthly Iron and Myth series are Brian Godawa (www.godawa.com), best-selling author and award-winning screenwriter, Pastor Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and Dr. Judd Burton (www.burtonbeyond.com), author of Interview with the Giant: Ethnohistorical Notes on the Nephilim.

We discuss the lack of discernment in the church today, the use of mind and mood altering drugs to open doorways to the spirit realm, and whether it’s possible for a demonic entity can inhabit an artificial intelligence, a website, or even the entire Internet.

Iron & Myth Podcast: Leviathan, Behemoth, the Sea and Chaos

I was on the Iron and Myth podcast again. This one is going to fascinate you.

IS CHAOS a symbol of disorder, or is it, as certain passages in the Bible suggest, an entity?

Back this month for another in our Iron and Myth series are Brian Godawa (www.godawa.com), author of Leviathan and Behemoth, Pastor Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and Dr. Judd Burton (www.burtonbeyond.com), author of Interview with the Giant: Ethnohistorical Notes on the Nephilim.

We discuss the various ways chaos is described in the Bible (Leviathan, Rahab, a multi-headed sea dragon, and the sea itself), the apparent struggle to subdue chaos in scripture and in pagan cultures of the ancient world, and the disturbing connection between chaos and the modern UFO phenomenon.

Iron and Myth Podcast: Death of the Gods. When Jesus Got Victory Over the Powers

THE DEATH OF THE GODS is prophesied in the Bible.

This is not in dispute, unless one argues that God Himself was mistaken in calling the pagan gods of the ancient world “gods.”

(See, for example, Exodus 12:12 and Psalm 82.)

Pastor Doug Van Dorn, author Brian Godawa, and Dr. Judd Burton join Derek Gilbert for a monthly ‘Iron and Myth’ session to discuss the death of the gods: When will it happen—or has it happened already?

What are the Nephilim in the Bible? Mere Oddities or Crucial Theology?

This is a great interview I had with Ricky Pope for Christian Nerds Unite.

It is a good strong explanation and introduction into what is the whole point of Nephilim in the Bible.

But also: Hollywood Worldviews, Movies about Bible stories, as well as Biblical values in movies.
