Our meandering through Matthew takes us to many different passages that seem to show us Satan, Hell, and Demons are real. But is this what we are to make of the appearance of Beelzebub, unclean spirits, casting a body into Hell, and John being said to have a devil?

 

Come along this garden path with Jim and Angellah for a delightful bouquet of reason. A beautiful array of New Testament thoughts that really don’t teach about a literal Satan or Hell at all.

Find out why those authors of New Testament letters speak about Beelzebub but don’t believe he is a real devil.

Hear how an unclean spirit is not the wispy transcendent ether that overtakes the souls of a human rendering him demon possessed.

If Satan and Hell are not real, what could it mean to fear the one who has power to cast body AND soul into hell?

And if John had a devil according to his critics, how did he deliver such profound truths? Or could having a devil be an Aramaic statement to accuse an opponent of teaching things thought to be scandalously in err?

 

We will be here on Sunday morning at 11 am CST to bring you your spring bouquet of aromatic blossoms. Blossoms of reality that will take us closer to the truth than we may have been before.
