Those who deny the existence of demons or their corrupting influence on the world are doomed to be dominated by them. For to deny demons is to deny Scripture and to deny Scripture is to deny Christ. God bless you, gentlemen!
@ the 6:20 mark. Someone who is not talked about nearly enough or even at all on the show is Geerhardus Vos. In his book, The Self-Disclosure of Jesus, O. Palmer Robertson summarizes Vos' teaching on the joy the disciples had when they performed miracles and even had authority over demons, Robertson writes, "Success in delivering people from the powers of sin and Satan as just experienced by Jesus' disciples depends altogether on Jesus. Freeing people from the control of Satan falls uniquely in the realm of Jesus' role as messianic Son, the Anointed King of His people."
I'm trying to get some clarity on the tripartite anthropology. Would it appropriate to say that the soul deals more with the "internal" invisible realm, whereas the spirit deals with the "external" invisible realm? The point about being spiritual dead (though obviously still being an active soul) was helpful in demonstrating that there's a real distinction there.
This was such a good episode! I feel like I need to go make some notes and then listen again.
Great content!
This podcast and the one about Anthony make me wonder how much I tend to downplay demons and spiritual warfare in my own life

Michael Heiser's "An Unseen Realm" would be an excellent addition to help with this clarification.

btw, the Roberston quote is from his newest book, Christ of the Consummation. So good.
