Biblical Worldview of the Spirit Realm Episode 12: Kinds of Spirit Beings

The Bible speaks of several different kinds or orders of beings who exist in the spirit realm. In this episode we will look at the various titles and functions of those created beings which exist in the very real, but unobservable realm of the spirit.

Biblical Worldview of the Spirit Realm Episode 11 The Discipline of Spirit Beings

One may think that with all the rebellions going on in the unseen spirit realm that things are out of God's control. On the contrary, everything is going precisely according to plan. This time on the Called-Out Cafe we will be taking a look at how God has and will hold the beings who inhabit the spirit realm accountable and what their future holds.

Biblical Worldview of the Spirit Realm Episode 10: Rebellions in the Spirit Realm

There is more to what shapes the world around us than what we can observe with our senses. Like humans, super-natural beings who exist in the Spirit Realm can rebel against God. There have been several forms of rebellion since the time of creation. Many have pursued the worship and allegiance of humans. They seek to deceive humans into not following God, while at the same time they accuse the same humans before God of not following Him. And, they have attempted to destroy the Messiah. This angelic rebellion continues today.  Please join Doug as he discusses these things and more in episode 10 of the series titled, the Biblical Worldview of the Spirit Realm, on the Called-Out Café.

The Sons of God and the Nephilim Part Two

This is episode 9 in this current series on the Biblical Worldview of the Spirit Realm. It is the second of two episodes that will cover a strange story found in the book of Genesis chapter six. It is the story of the Sons of God and the Nephilim. If you didn’t listen to the first episode on this topic, which was episode 8 of the series, you may want to do so before listening to this episode.

The Sons of God and the Nephilim Part One

This is episode 8 in this current series on the Biblical Worldview of the Spirit Realm. It is the first of two episodes that will cover a strange story found in the book of Genesis chapter six. It’s a story that when we typically read, we say, “wow, that’s weird,” and then move on, thinking it really has no great significance in the overall narrative of the Bible. In reality, it is the beginning of a story line that lasts for over 1200 years covered by the Old Testament and echoes into the New Testament. It involves renegade angels who were known as the “Sons of God,” who slept with human women and produced an unnatural race of cannibalistic, nasty, giants known as the “Nephilim.” They were well known throughout much of the Middle East and the Israelites contended with them for hundreds of years. Please join me and figure out what you are going to do with this story.

Biblical Worldview of the Spirit Realm Episode 7 Spirit Being‘s Authority Over Physical Places

Why did Jesus recognize Satan as the “chief prince” of this world, and the Apostle Paul say that our battle is “not with flesh and blood?” In this episode we will look at the biblical evidence that there are spiritual beings referred to as “princes,” “powers,” and “authorities,” among other titles, that God placed in authority over every nation except one. Please join Doug and get the details of all this and how it plays an important part in the gospel message.

The Biblical Worldview of the Spirit Realm, Episode 6: The Sons of God and the Divine Council

The title of this episode may sound a little sacrilegious or "new agey," to some. If it does, it might be time for a new prescription of biblical lenses that you use to view the part of creation we can't observe with our physical senses. The spiritual realm of creation. The Bible speaks of an order of created beings in the Spirit Realm who are referred to as the "sons of God." It also directly refers to beings that the Most-High God, Yahweh, sits in council with.  These are all key players in the story God is telling us in His word. Please give this episode a listen and consider the evidence. 

The Biblical Worldview of the Spirit Realm, Episode 5: The Reality of Hell and the Creation of the Spirit Realm

In this episode Doug discusses two more building blocks for understanding the very real created realm that we can only be told about since it can’t be observed through our senses. First, what is the biblical evidence that says Hell is a real place and what is its purpose? Next, have you ever thought about who might have been listening when God said, “let there be light?” We will talk about when the Spirit Realm, and all its inhabitants, were created.     

Episode 4: The Uniqueness of God and the Reality of Heaven

In Episode 4 of the Called-Out Café Series on what the Bible has to say about the spirit realm, Doug discusses the uniqueness of God and what the Bible has to say about the reality of Heaven.

In coming podcasts, we will be looking at scripture that tells us that God is not alone in the unseen realm. In fact, there are other beings referred to as “gods” in the Old Testament. In this episode it is made clear that the “Most High God,” Yahweh, created them all, that He alone transcends all realms of creation, and is unique. There are none like Him and He alone is to be worshipped.

Then, not everyone believes that Heaven is real. Surprisingly, even millions of Christians don’t. We will look at the biblical evidence that says it is. Heaven is the current home address of Jesus. It makes up what Paul calls, “the things above” that followers of Jesus are to set their minds on. Please join me in this episode as we set our minds on it.

I will also summarize what it is that I will be saying about each subtopic.  I will provide the reasons I have arrived at the conclusions stated in this episode in future podcasts that deal with each specific topic.
