In this episode, Nate and the crew tackle the question of how much power demons actually have and the biblical way to handle spiritual warfare.
How Much Power Do Demons Have?
How Much Power Do Demons Have? Understanding the Supernatural
In this episode of the Ask A Christian podcast, Nate and the crew dive deep into the murky waters of demonology and the supernatural. One of the most common questions believers ask is, “How much power do demons have?” While pop culture often portrays demons as nearly omnipotent forces of evil, the biblical perspective suggests a more nuanced reality. The discussion explores the limits of demonic influence, the power of suggestion, and whether what we perceive as “sorcery” might sometimes be psychological triggers or “mentalism.” If you are interested in the spiritual realm, check out our guide on spiritual warfare and the supernatural.
Are Angels Sinless and Can They Hear Us?
The conversation shifts from the demonic to the celestial. Are angels sinless? While we know that a third of the angels fell with Lucifer, the status of those who remained faithful is a point of theological intrigue. Are they “locked in” to their sinless state, or do they still possess a form of free will? Furthermore, Nate addresses the common hope that our deceased loved ones can see or hear us. By looking at Hebrews 12:1 and the “great cloud of witnesses,” the team parses out the difference between biblical assurance and the personal testimonies of those who claim to have heard a loved one say goodbye.
Presuppositional Apologetics vs. Evidentialism
For those looking to defend their faith, understanding presuppositional apologetics is key. Unlike evidentialism, which seeks to prove God through external data, presuppositionalism starts with the Bible as the ultimate standard of truth. The podcast breaks down how to use this method in everyday conversations, arguing that without the Christian God, logic and morality have no foundation. This leads into a broader discussion on the reliability of the Gospels—specifically, whether they are independent accounts or “repackaged” versions of one another.
The Virgin Birth Debate: Is It Essential for Salvation?
A major headline recently shook the apologetics world: William Lane Craig’s comments on the Virgin Birth. Craig suggested that while the Virgin Birth is a historical fact, belief in it might not be the “minimum requirement” for salvation. The Ask A Christian team tackles this controversial take. If the Virgin Birth is tied to the nature of Christ, can it truly be sidelined? This leads to the ultimate question: What is the absolute minimum a person must believe to be saved?
