What is the history of demonology and what does the Bible say about demons? What are demons? Are they fallen angels, or the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim? And what even are the Nephilim — giants, warriors, or the offspring of the Sons of God and the Daughters of Men? Are the Sons of God fallen angels… or ancient kings claiming divine status? Could demons be the leftover spirits of a previous world God destroyed with a flood before Adam and Eve?

What are ghosts? Are they human spirits or are they demons pretending to be humans? What about the “ghost” of Samuel the Witch of Endor summoned? Was that really Samuel… or a deceiving spirit?

When did Satan fall — before creation, or in the Garden of Eden? Was Satan originally God’s prosecutor before he became God’s enemy? Was he the serpent in Eden? What is Satan doing talking to God about Job? Why would one‑third of the angels fall with him — did they think God judged Satan unfairly? What did Satan say or do that convinced heavenly beings, who lived in God’s presence, to walk away and follow him?

Do demons have ranks, territories, and assignments? Who is the Prince of Persia in Daniel — a human king, or a hostile spiritual power blocking Gabriel? Why does the Old Testament talk about evil spirits, lying spirits, and tormenting spirits instead of demons — and why does God send some of them? Are demons still active today? Can Christians be attacked? Why do they hate humanity so intensely?

Why did God reject Cains sacrifice? God told Cain he would be accepted if he did what was right, so why not try again? Why did God say sin was crouching at Cains door, but it must be subdued? Does that mean God made us strong enough to subdue our sin? What was it about Abel's sacrifice that God accepted? Did Adam and Eve have kids before the fall in the Garden of Eden? How many kids did Adam and Eve have? Who were all these other people Cain was afraid of? Who was Cains wife? If Eve is the mother of all who lived, then were all these people Cains relatives? Did Cain eventually repent when he became a Dad?

This is the 5th episode of our bible study through the book of Genesis. Thank you everyone for listening.

Who is this talking serpent and why does this seem totally normal for Adam & Eve? Is the serpent’s temptation for Adam and Eve to eat the fruit sanctioned by God? If it was, why was the serpent cursed to crawl on his belly? If it wasn’t crawling before, did it have arms and legs like a dragon? Did it pick the fruit off the tree with its own hands to prove that you couldtouch it? Where did Eve’s extra command to not “touch” the fruit come from? Was it Adam adding to Gods commands trying to protect his wife? Why wasn’t this lie the first sin? Why did the fall not happen when Eve ate it but after Adam did? Where was Adam when the talking dragon was tempting Eve? What would have happened if Adam refused to eat it? What if Adam repented immediately to God and didn’t blame his wife? How did this affect their marriage? Why place Cherubim guards at the gate of the Garden after kicking them out? If you ever wrestled with these questions, then this episode is for you.

This is the 4th episode of our bible study through the bookof Genesis. Thank you everyone for listening.
