EP: 369 Mars Hill and The Council of Gods with Dr. Joel Muddamalle

"In him we live and move and have our being." When Paul quoted the Greek poet Epimenides at Mars Hill in Acts 17, the Athenian philosophers weren't confused—they knew exactly what he was referencing. Their council of gods. In this LIVE from Blurry Con preview, Dr. Joel Muddamalle explains that Greek philosophy included a divine hierarchy ruling over nations and territories, strikingly similar to what Scripture describes in Deuteronomy 32:8. When God judged humanity at Babel, He didn't just scatter the nations—He disinherited them, assigning each to divine beings called "sons of God." These weren't decorative angels; they were governing authorities with real power over territories. The Greeks called them gods. The Hebrews understood them as rebellious divine council members. Paul, standing in the intellectual epicenter of the ancient world, used their own theology against them: "That council you worship? They're defeated rebels. The 'Unknown God' you acknowledge but don't know? That's Yahweh—and His Son Jesus Christ has authority over every power you've been serving." Joel walks through how Paul's Mars Hill sermon connects to the entire biblical narrative of spiritual warfare: the serpent's Eden rebellion, Babel's cosmic judgment, Mount Hermon where divine beings (Watchers) descended and corrupted the nations they were supposed to steward, and ultimately Christ's victory reclaiming all territory and authority. This is why Paul could confidently quote Greek poets—he wasn't compromising truth, he was revealing it through a framework the Greeks already understood. Joel explains what the divine council is, why geography matters in spiritual warfare, where demons originate (not fallen angels—Scripture doesn't teach that), how territorial spirits function, and why missions and prayer look different when you understand cosmic geography. The Greeks believed in a council of gods ruling over territories. Paul said: You're right about the structure, but wrong about who's in charge. Christ has defeated them all and reclaimed His rightful dominion. This conversation bridges ancient philosophy, Hebrew theology, and practical spiritual warfare—showing they're not contradictory but complementary when understood correctly. Whether you're trying to make sense of Ephesians 6, understand missions strategy, or grasp what Christ actually accomplished, Joel provides the framework Scripture assumes but Western rationalism has stripped away.

From childhood experiences and open doors to demonic oppression, to navigating family struggles and ministry under heavy spiritual attack, Joe’s story sheds light on the reality of spiritual warfare and deliverance. Exposure to occult practices and horror media can unknowingly open dangerous spiritual doors, a reality Joe Anderson experienced firsthand through encounters with demonic forces and even poltergeist activity. His journey led him to seek guidance from priests and exorcists, who provided powerful insights on confronting principalities and the unseen battles that rage around us. Through these struggles, Joe discovered the essential role of faith, prayer, and the support of a strong spiritual community in deliverance.

EP: 360 The Two Creations: Elohim, Pre-Adamites, and Hidden Biblical Narratives with Ali Siadatan

EP: 360 The Two Creations: Elohim, Pre-Adamites, and Hidden Biblical Narratives with Ali Siadatan

Ali Siadatan returns with his most controversial theory yet: that Genesis contains not one, but two distinct creation narratives involving different types of humans. Drawing from Hebrew linguistics and ancient Near Eastern context, Ali argues that the language of Genesis reveals that the word "Elohim" (traditionally translated as "God") is Divine Council language. In this thought-provoking episode, Ali presents his theory that the creation story involves two distinct events: first, the Elohim (divine council) creating humans in their collective image who roam the earth, followed by Yahweh Elohim creating Adam specifically for Eden's garden. This interpretation attempts to solve puzzles like where Cain's wife came from, why he feared other people, and how agriculture suddenly appeared in the archaeological record.From his research into ancient gods and civilizations to his groundbreaking documentary linking UFOs to biblical narratives, Ali's journey challenges both literalist and progressive interpretations of Scripture. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, his linguistic analysis and pattern recognition raise fascinating questions about what the text actually says versus what tradition teaches.

EP: 355 The Kandahar Giant, the Watchers and UFOs: Connecting Genesis 6 to Modern Phenomena with Timothy Alberino *members only trailer

Tim Alberino sits down with Blurry Creatures for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the things mainstream Christianity won't touch. Why are military whistleblowers more nervous about giants than UFOs? What did the Watchers really want with human women? And how does a 1,100-pound red-haired giant allegedly end up in a military cargo plane? This episode connects dots between ancient texts, modern military encounters, and the coming disclosure narrative. Tim shares exclusive details about multiple military encounters with living giants in Afghan caves, the Kandahar Giant retrieval operation, and why occult groups at the top of the secrecy pyramid may be using giant remains for necromantic practices. We discuss the Watchers' rebellion, the true nature of the Nephilim, megalithic construction techniques, and how these ancient accounts relate to current UFO disclosure. This episode tackles the complex relationship between biblical theology and the UFO phenomenon, arguing that Christians need to move beyond medieval interpretations to understand extraterrestrial beings within a biblical framework. The discussion includes Bigfoot's potential telepathic abilities, the Phoenicians' role in global giant dispersion, and necromantic practices in places like Sardinia. We conclude with practical thoughts on government disclosure, distinguishing between real phenomena and deception, and why the existence of non-human intelligence doesn't negate biblical truth but rather fits within its larger narrative.This episode is a members-only exclusive.

EP: 354 The Patient Zero Encounter with Chris Baumgartner

EP: 354 The Patient Zero Encounter with Chris Baumgartner

What happens when success strips away everything except what matters most? Chris Baumgartner's story begins with hazmat suits and national headlines as Tennessee's COVID Patient Zero, but unfolds into something far stranger. This biotech executive, who once scaled companies worth hundreds of millions, finds himself unemployed for three years, and wondering who would come to his funeral.The breaking point comes in the form of desperate prayer and what Chris describes as the Holy Spirit responding in perfect ancient Hebrew - a language he doesn't speak. From there, the supernatural encounters accelerate: prophetic dreams, words of knowledge for strangers, and a prayer location on Franklin's highest hill where dozens claim to experience profound spiritual encounters.The Blurry Creatures hosts put this to the test, visiting Chris's prayer gatherings as complete skeptics. What they experience challenges their assumptions about faith, prophecy, and the distance between the natural and supernatural worlds. This isn't a sanitized testimony - it's a raw account of crisis, desperation, and claims of divine intervention that will leave listeners questioning what's possible. - Learn more about your ad choices.
