47 - It's the Rapture! AGAIN...

Well, it's time for another Rapture. I think we ate all the canned goods from the last time... time to buy more! In this episode we discuss the craziness of eschatology, dispensationalism, and rapture theology. Where did the idea of a rapture come from? Is it historical christianity or a more modern invention? We seek those answers and more! So saddle up, blow your shofar and get ready for the RAPTURE.Connect with us:Social: Instagram.com/behindthecurtainpcYoutube.com/btcmysteriesTikTok.com/btcmysteriesEmail: behindthecurtainpc@gmail.comIntro quote:From the video game, Bioshock:"I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different.I chose the impossible.

46 - Biblically Accurate Angels

Memes and misconceptions about ‘biblically accurate angels’ have carved out a small corner of the internet and influenced the minds of those who read the strange descriptions of angels, cherubim, and seraphim in Scripture. Maybe these amalgamational creatures aren't what you think. Maybe Angels and spirits in the unseen realm aren't what you have been led to believe. Let's dive into the exciting topic of Angelology and see what the text actually says concerning these divine beings.Connect with us:Social: Instagram.com/behindthecurtainpcYoutube.com/btcmysteriesTikTok.com/btcmysteriesEmail: behindthecurtainpc@gmail.comIntro quote:Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm - "In the absence of light, darkness prevails.

45 - Bread, Wine, & Water with Dr. Ronn Johnson

In this episode, Dr. Johnson shared his views on Baptism and also the Lord's Supper and how maybe we've institutionalized these things that were maybe just cultural expressions in the ancient time. We always love hearing and learning from Dr. Johnson and his approach of just reading the text! What an idea...Dr. Ronn Johnson is a bible scholar and has taught Bible and theology courses at the college level for over 20 years. He has pastored two churches in the Minneapolis area for fifteen years and is also the host of the Divine Council Worldview Podcast along with Mike Chu.

In this episode, we talk with Will Hess on the topic of Penal Substitutionary Atonement (PSA).
