I realize I have not yet released my next installment in the study of “Supernatural” by Michael Heiser. Life happens, busy days come, you get it. I am no longer a “once a day” blogger, nor am I one that has an overriding need to remain in a theme until…

The Book of Enoch
I wrote recently about how the book of Enoch contradicts the Bible. Here’s a pretty good summary about it: Why do I point this out in this category? Because Michael Heiser relies on the myths of Enoch, a book not even written by Enoch, for the foundation of his claims.…
Divine Rebellions: Part 2 “The Nephilim”
My original intent for this series was to take each chapter and write a blog post. I did not break this one into two posts because of its length or its extensive references. I did so because I was disappointed in the general lack of scholarship in the first part…

Supernatural
I’ve been reading through Supernatural by Michael Heiser and it is incorporating into my Macro Theology, which is my term used in partnership with the concept of worldview. I have read about 2/3 of the book so far and have enjoyed it immensely! My wife read it first, and has…
