About this deal

Fr. Stephen: Without going into the whole bodies question—because, yes, that’s a big topic unto itself—it is true that you are correct, obviously, that evil angels cannot kill good angels. Fr. Stephen: It’s not the word “judgment-seat.” It’s where we get the word “criterion,” actually; it’s “criterion,” and it means a law court; it means an actual court.

Fr. Andrew: And you can’t just flip a switch and decide: I’m not going to be a materialist any more! [Laughter] Today I will believe in spirits! Fr. Andrew: I just wanted to make another… Because we’re going to be talking, I know, because we’re both nerds in different ways and on different levels for sure, but we’re going to be talking a lot about words and what they mean and how they’re used and how they’re used in lots of different ways. Someone might counter and say, “Doesn’t the word elohim, doesn’t that mean ‘gods’ in Hebrew? Doesn’t elohim just mean the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Doesn’t that just mean Yahweh?” Is that the case? Is elohim only used in the Hebrew Bible for Yahweh? Sloane MS 3824 (from the mid-seventeenth century) features a number of elements from the Book of the Office of Spirits [3] [9] and is an early form of the Lemegeton. [10] MS 3853 is titled The Office of Spirits, starts off nearly identical to more complete Porter version. [3] [9]If the idea of having acid indigestion sounds like it’s too trivial to involve God in, then that means that you are a materialist by habit. And I am. I think everybody listening to this probably is. Now, it’s possible that there’s some very spiritual people who are listening to this who aren’t, and if you are, please pray for us! But I think most of us are materialists by habit. Fr. Andrew: You don’t want to be. You don’t want to be superstitious. That’s not the same. We’re not teaching people how to be superstitious well. [Laughter] That’s not what we’re doing. Michael: Good, thank God. I have a question for Fr. Stephen De Young. I was told once that there may have been a change at some point in just the way we’re educated about religion, and I remember being taught about monotheism and polytheism, and I wonder if in the ancient world it was taught the same way. How could this maybe contribute to our perceptions when we read “gods” in the Bible?

But if the slave plainly says, “I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,” then his master shall bring him to the gods, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever.” Alicia is commissioned by the government to find Don Mauricio Valls, culture minister in the Franco administration, who has disappeared mysteriously. Valls is a writer and book collector, whose own secret library includes the rarest works. The solution to the mystery of the politician will in turn resolve the facts about the fictions of Carax, Martín and Mataix, and the later life of Daniel Sempere. The Goetia of Dr Rudd; Thomas Rudd, Ed. Stephen Skinner & David Rankine; 2007, Golden Hoard Press. pp. 20, 34-37, 101 Like we were talking about atheists earlier. “Well, I just believe in one less god than you do.” It’s like, well, no, this God that I believe in and worship is a God that is outside of time and space, is the God who created all things. That is a different kind of being, if we can even speak in those terms, from how pagans understood what their gods were. A pagan god is really a much kind of smaller kind of being, and the reason why is because a pagan god—we’re going to talk about this a lot, I know—a pagan god is a fallen angel. So it is a god in the sense of being a divine spiritual being, but it’s not a god worthy of worship. Now, people do worship them and have worshiped them. So that is what I would say is kind of the difference between this idea that we have monotheism and polytheism. Really the picture that the Bible presents is actually not monotheism but rather monolatry, meaning there’s only one whom we worship. We recognize there are many gods. Now, they’re not equal. They’re not equal. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is not the same kind of thing as Zeus is or Hera. Not at all, but the main question is how we behave towards them, and we’re to worship only Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Fr. Stephen, do you have any way you wanted to correct that or add [to] that or magnify that or whatever? The Star of Bethlehem has long been seen as a sign of Christ’s birth, but was it just an astronomical event such as one might observe with a telescope?…Fr. Andrew: Yeah, we have to do a whole episode on monsters, or on specific monsters, like we could do one on Leviathan, one on Behemoth, yeah, oh yeah. So there is a ritual described here for what you do with that person who has decided they want to stay permanently as part of the household. I’ll read Exodus 21:5-6: That’s just one example of something that’s just right there in our tradition and kind of staring you in the face, but unless you’re oriented toward paying attention to it, you’re probably just going to skip over it, not really even know that it’s there. So if someone were to say to me, “If you could say in a nutshell, what is this show about?” it’s about talking about especially those things that are right there in the Bible, right there in the Church services, right there in the Church Fathers but that maybe we’ve never noticed or we didn’t know what to do with it so we just kind of skipped over it, or maybe it was hidden behind a translation issue and we just didn’t know because we didn’t read the original languages. And sometimes these are really kind of important issues. It’s not just obscure little things like: “Oh, that’s neat”; it’s really important kind of issues for your spiritual life. This idea of polytheism versus monotheism is actually a relatively later kind of notion in Western intellectual history. The reason why the idea of monotheism was kind of come up with was to kind of group sets of religions together. We’re monotheists and Jews are monotheists and Muslims are monotheists, and over here you have polytheists, these other kinds of religions. But I don’t think anyone in the ancient world would have looked at it that way. I mean, that’s not the way religion works and the way people understood it. The question is really not, “Is there only one God?” which is what monotheism means, that there’s only one god. We see the Bible doesn’t teach only one god. The difference is that there’s only one God that you worship. The other significant difference is that the God whom we worship, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is a very different kind of divine being from all these other divine beings.
