Were Ancient Demons Actually Parasites? – Could this explain everything?

A new theory is that demons in the Bible were actually parasitic infections, and that there is a literal crossover between spiritual demons and physical parasites. Is there something to this, or is it a misunderstanding of Scripture? What is the truth about demons? Are they real spiritual entities? How do people get demons? And how do we get rid of them?

DON’T CLICK THIS.

While the Internet has brought some good, like increasing access to knowledge, not all knowledge is good. What happens when we replace Fellowship with the Internet? Could the Bible have foretold the rampant tickling of ears? We are in unchartered territory, but how will this affect the next generation of believers?

The Controversial Compassion of Christ

In this world, Jesus is famous for His love. But not everyone understands just how radical and polarizing His compassion was: Healing the humble gentile; and sending away the prideful religious. Compassion fueled the fire of Christ to proclaim, teach, heal and sacrifice.

But could many believers have lost sight of God's great compassion in how we are to treat others?

In this teaching:

  • Did Jesus call the Canaanite Woman a dog?
  • How Yeshua dealt with Israel’s enemies
  • How love is both more than about feelings, and more than about rebuke
  • Stories of God’s compassion
  • The historical context of the Canaanites, and how Jesus healed a demon oppressed boy.
  • The grace and compassion Christ calls you to.
  • Who exactly will inherit the Kingdom of God

The Misunderstood Jesus: Why your identity in Christ will be persecuted

When we start walking in Spirit & Truth worship, it is jarring to this world. Many of you have found people start accusing you of legalism and lawlessness - all at the same time, depending on who's making the judgment.

Why are believers misunderstood, misrepresented and falsely accused? How can we find like-minded fellowship? And how can we explain our identity in Christ to others?

Tongues & Prophetic Words: Are Miraculous Gifts still for Christians? (1 Cor 13)

The Bible foretells a day when prophecies and tongues will cease (1 Cor 13:8), when 'the perfect' comes. Some believe that day has already come and gone with the establishment of the Bible. Others believe the spiritual gifts continue on. It all hinges on what exactly 'The Perfect' is. Thankfully, it doesn't need to be a mystery to us.

The Hebrew Roots Identity Crisis - A letter to the Torah Movements

Years ago, many of us realized we had an identity crisis in our faith. Our lives were turned upside down. However, I would like to submit that some have moved from one identity crisis, to another. This message is a love letter to the Torah Movements, but it also means being honest and vulnerable about some things.

The Great Controversy: Which Old Testament laws apply to Christians?

One of the greatest debates in Christianity today is regarding which laws apply to Christians. In this podcast, we explore (1) statements from critics against obeying God's law, (2) the moral, civil and ceremonial categories, (3) the notion that only OT laws repeated in the NT are relevant for Christians - and more!

We discuss controversial laws of the Old Testament, to get to the bottom of how Jesus walked, and called us to walk.

Fake Ai Pastors are now spreading a False Gospel - Generative False Prophets arrived?

This age of AI has entered a new stage: Ai Pastors are now being generated, and distributed to spread a "no repentance required" "no hell exists" false gospel on the Internet. As of now, people can still tell when a video is Ai generated. But the rapid development of this technology means we will likely soon see video content almost indistinguishable from real people and events.

Is this a new age of Generative False Prophets? And what can God's people do to prepare?
