Satan's Offspring Might Actually Be Worse Than Him (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whilst the traditional bible mostly keeps us in the dark about the character of Satan, another text that came to massively influence Christian thought shows us that Satan was more than just a villainous, sinful being that worked in opposition to God... he was a father. Whilst his two children are never mentioned in scripture, Paradise Lost reveals to us two characters that are as deadly as they are gruesome.
The People Who Lived Alongside Adam & Eve | Biblical Mysteries (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If Adam and Eve were the first and only people on the earth, then who was it that Cain was so afraid of? In this episode, we'll be exploring some ideas throughout theology that seek to explain who these people were, whether Adam and Eve were really alone and how there may have been another race of humans created before or alongside them.
The Ancient Jewish Versions of Cain Are So Much Worse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many readers of the bible will know of the tale of Cain and Abel. But if we were to consult the Jewish legends that existed outside of the bible, we'd find some very interesting, perhaps even outlandish ideas that make Cain out to be so much worse...
The Tower That Threatened Heaven (And God) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today we're looking at the Tower of Babel, a legend in the bible that shows the pitfalls of man's ambition. The Genesis account leads us to believe that this tower resulted in man's langauge being confused and seeing to the scattering of humanity across the globe. Other Jewish legends however provide even more details; that this tower was more of a ladder to heaven, a means by which man could use to infiltrate God's realm and possibly even invade it...
What Life Was REALLY Like Inside The Bible's Most Sinful City (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today we're looking at what life in Sodom & Gomorrah - two of the bible's most sinful cities - actually looked like. The traditional Genesis account leads us to believe that sexual deviancy was the root of their corruption, but if we dive deeper into the bible and consider extra-cannonical texts, we learn that life in Sodom and Gomorrah was even worse than one might orginally think.
