Does the Church Blame "the Devil" Too Often? - The Whole Church Podcast

Episode 140

Does the Church Blame "the Devil" Too Often?

Back to our "Dividing Scriptures" series with the Book of Job and how the word "ha satan" has been translated throughout history! We discuss the opinions of Church fathers and theologians from "The Testament of Job" to Thomas Aquinas to John Calvin and even C.S. Lewis! Where did Job live in the book of Job? Who was speaking to Job in Job 33? What was the context of Job 33:22? Was "ha satan" the devil, an evil imagination, a symbolic character, or a member of God's divine council? Did Job fear the Lord? Was the book of Job literal? Is Job and Jobab the same person? Does the Church blame the devil too much? We continue talking about Church unity as we examine different views of Satan in the book of Job. Christian unity is important year-round, not just for the Christian week of prayer! Join in our discussions on Satan on our Facebook group: the Whole Church Group!

Offering Plate

We may not be huge fans of the pressure that goes along with a literal offering plate, but we do hope you will consider giving to our ministry so we can afford to continue our work to educate and unite the Church!
