The Sting of Death is Sin
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary continues speaking with Kim Burgess about 1 Corinthians 15 and the timing and nature of the resurrection. Kim continues teaching about Sheol, the realm of the dead, and how Jesus gave victory over it. Believers no longer die and go to Sheol, they immediately enter the presence of Christ. As Paul taught, "to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21) and "absent from the body, present with the Lord" (2 Cor. 5:8).

Co-Laborers and Eschatological Apologetics
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary discusses the current state of eschatology debates online. It can be easy to become dismissive of others who can't understand or agree with your position, but Gary has a different approach. He often says, "Don't give a reason for people to reject your position except the position itself."

Prophetic Speculation is Running Wild
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 66 Gary discusses how "end-times" prophecy is overflowing on social media lately and how many are claiming that we are in the last days. Anyone with a computer and a camera is able to share their "biblical studies" and "insights" into current events and the Bible, but none of them are honest enough to admit that this has been going on for decades with similar failed results.

The Final Enemy is Abolished
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary continues going through 1 Corinthians 15 with Kim Burgess. In this episode, they discuss death as being the final enemy. Kim brings up some very interesting points that are not obvious from our English translations. Sheol, or the realm of the dead, was a very big topic in the mind of first century Jews and this is what Paul is addressing.

The Seed and the Stalk
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary continues his discussion with Kim Burgess on 1 Corinthians 15. In this episode, Kim walks through the Apostle Paul's "seed analogy" and some of the Greek behind the terms he uses. Paul uses wheat, but Kim changes it to corn to make the point clear: what goes in the ground (what is sown) is not what comes out of the ground (what is raised). The final result is much more glorious than how it began.

Taking Back Halloween with Mocking and Laughter
The Gary DeMar Podcast
The defeat of evil and of demonic powers is associated with Halloween. For this reason, Martin Luther posted his 95 challenges to the wicked practices of the Church to the bulletin board on the door of the Wittenberg chapel on Halloween. He picked his day with care, and ever since Halloween has also been Reformation Day. The power of Satan has been broken once and for all, and our children can mock him by dressing up like ghosts, goblins, and witches.

Gary continues his response to Amir Tsarfati, who tried to take Kirk Cameron to task for comments he made about Israel. Gary shows how inconsistent, ahistorical, and unbiblical Tsarfati's view of Bible prophecy really is. It is nothing more than repackaged information from many other dispensational speculators over the last 50 years.
