The purpose of Levitical law was not to introduce arbitrary and oppressive religious rules onto the people of Israel, nor was the purpose of Levitical law to stroke God’s ego with intensive worship requirements. No, the purpose of Levitical Law was to give mankind a definitive definition for sin, sanctify the nation of Israel, and usher in the advent of the Redeemer – the One who would provide the means for man to fulfill God’s will. In this week’s podcast, we will do an overview of the 5th Dispensation – the Dispensation of the Law.

FBR Podcast #52 - Myths About Angels
Myths about angels abound in religious and secular society. We’ll wrap up our series on Satan, fallen angels, and demons by looking at Holy Angels, and the myths about angels. Do angels have wings? Do they wear robes? Do they do anything other than sing worship songs? Do we have guardian angels? One of the reasons we have so many questions about angels is because the Bible says relatively little about them – and for good reason! We’ll discuss that reason in the podcast. But we’ll start by asking an interesting question – If God is all-powerful, why does He allow Satan to exist? Why doesn’t He wipe out the villains of the Bible? ARE they the villains of the Bible (the answer will surprise you!). So get ready to explore myths about angels on this week’s episode.

FBR Podcast 51 Can you sell your sould to the Devil?
Selling your soul to the Devil. It sounds like something out of Faustian legends or a horror movie. But the truth is that people willingly enter into agreements with evil spiritual entities in order to reap material rewards (fame and fortune) in exchange for furthering their evil agenda. Unfortunately, people can also enter into these agreements indirectly by exposing themselves to occult influence and opening themselves up to false spirituality. If you were to tell these people – you are selling your soul to the Devil, they would dismiss you. But they are slowly corrupted by the demonic forces until they end up doing their will anyway. Unlike fallen angels, demons cannot physically manifest. They can only possess and corrupt. And selling your soul to the Devil is one of their favorite ways to achieve their goals. In this week’s podcast, we will discuss the reality of selling your soul to the Devil and how it works.
Evil Angels (or Fallen Angels) influence our lives and the world around us. They wage an unseen war with the Holy Angels of God in the unseen realm. The evil angels oppose the will and plan of God, while the Holy Angles fight to carry out His will and minister to us. But we are not just bystanders in this conflict. Our prayers and obedience empower the Holy Angels, while our pride, false worship, and indifference can shift the battle in the favor of the evil angels. We’ll discuss these topics (along with discovering the TRUE identity of the entity worshiped by Islamics as “Allah”) in this week’s podcast.For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason

FBR Podcast #49 Fallen Angels and Demons
What are Demons and Fallen Angels? Are they two terms for the same spiritual entities, or are they distinct creatures, differing greatly in power, position, and origin? The Bible makes it clear that demons and fallen angels are NOT the same. But what are they, and how do they interact with Satan? I discuss this in this week’s podcast:
If God is real and Christianity is true, then they should conform to objective logic and reason. That is the premise of the Faith By Reason podcast – systematically examining Christian Philosophy faithbyreason.net
