The Origin of Sin: Genesis 6 Historical Interpretation, Part 4 - Episode 106

What did the ancient Israelite think about the origin of evil and sin?  What did the first temple Jew think about the origin of evil and sin?  What about the rabbis?  Let's check out the literature, and track this topic so that we can better understand the Reformation's understanding of Genesis 6:1-4.    **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com  My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot  Genesis Marks the Spot on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/genesismarksthespot  Genesis Marks the Spot on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genesismarksthespot/  Sons of God from OT to NT: https://www.genesismarksthespot.com/blog/sons-of-god-from-ot-to-nt/  Fallen Angels and the History of Judaism and Christianity: https://www.amazon.com/Fallen-Angels-History-Judaism-Christianity/dp/0521853788  Music credit: "Marble Machine" by Wintergatan  Link to Wintergatan’s website: https://wintergatan.net/  Link to the original Marble Machine video by Wintergatan: http…

Let's Blame Augustine: Genesis 6 Historical Intepretation, Part 3 - Episode 104

How much blame does Augustine deserve for the Sethite view of Genesis 6:1-4?  A discussion on why I think the "angelic" view of Genesis 6 should be primary, and how the "human" view got solidified over time.  Spoiler alert: it's politics.   **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com  My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot  Genesis Marks the Spot on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/genesismarksthespot  Genesis Marks the Spot on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genesismarksthespot/  Music credit: "Marble Machine" by Wintergatan  Link to Wintergatan’s website: https://wintergatan.net/  Link to the original Marble Machine video by Wintergatan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q&ab_channel=Wintergatan
