  • Iron and Myth 35: The Bible and Mesopotamian Myth

    Iron and Myth 35: The Bible and Mesopotamian Myth
    Nov 25 2024
    SKEPTICS OFTEN claim that the Hebrew Bible must have been copied from older Mesopotamian texts. Frankly, this is lazy thinking by people looking for excuses not to deal with God. Our Iron and Myth crew joins us to discuss the relationship between the Bible and Mesopotamian religion: Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods and Brian Godawa (www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of Chronicles of the Nephilim, Chronicles of the Watchers, the theological thriller Cruel Logic, and a forthcoming novel based on the period of the Maccabees in Judea. Sadly, Dr. Judd Burton (www.BurtonBeyond.net) was unable to join us this month. We discuss the parallels between creation stories from different cultures, including Mesopotamian and Mesoamerican myths, and the implications of these similarities for understanding the Bible. We dig into the nature of myth and history, the importance of context in biblical interpretation, and the need for a nuanced approach to understanding ancient texts. There is an intricate relationship between myth and history, particularly in the context of biblical narratives. It’s important to understand ancient texts through the lens of genre and cultural context, and at the end of the day the Bible’s authority does not negate the value of other literature.

  • Our Long National Nightmare is Nearly Over

    Our Long National Nightmare is Nearly Over
    Nov 4 2024
    AND THEN a whole new one begins. This has been the most bizarre presidential campaign since the Civil War. Thankfully, the campaign ends this week with Election Day Tuesday, and—we hope—a winner declared shortly thereafter. Then comes a different kind of crazy as we prepare for whoever is inaugurated January 21, 2025. Whatever happens, however, remember that God is still on His throne, none of this takes Him by surprise, and our mission as Christians has not changed.

  • Shedding the Blood of Man

    Shedding the Blood of Man
    Oct 28 2024
    IT WAS a common practice in the ancient world. Sadly, it’s still practiced today—and closer to us than we’d think. Joining us for our annual Halloween episode, a tradition since 2010, is Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net). We delve into the disturbing reality of human sacrifice in the modern world, exploring its historical roots, spiritual significance, and the ongoing practices that continue to occur around the world. Judd explains the connections between bloodlust, vampirism, and ritual magic, as well as the dark underbelly of human trafficking and modern slavery. We also discuss the implications of human sacrifice in ancient cultures, the legacy of figures like Vlad Dracula, and the ongoing relevance of these themes in modern society. The dialogue delves into the linguistic roots of vampirism, the significance of archaeological sites like Gobekli Tepe, and the dark legacy of biblical narratives such as Cain and Abel. This is an issue that is only properly understood through a biblical lens. These ancient practices and beliefs still influence the modern world. If you’ve missed our previous Halloween episodes with Dr. Judd Burton, here they are: • Vampires, Werewolves, and the Nephilim (2010)• Flesh and Blood (2014)• Halloween and the Van Helsing Way (2015)• Halloween, Vampires, and Blood (2016)• Paneas, the Watchers, and the Ghosts of Giants (2017)• Terrors and Tropes (2018)• From Watchers to Witches (2019)• Gobekli Tepe and the Watchers (2020)• Supernatural Contraband (2021)• Fairy Tales and Halloween (2022)• Creepy Dolls (2023) Our new book The Gates of Hell is now available in paperback, Kindle, and as an audiobook at Audible!
