In this episode of the Demonology classroom series, JJ is joined again by Chris and Dean from The Wandering Road for a deep dive into one of the most uncomfortable and misunderstood questions in religion and the paranormal: what do we do with ghosts, spirits of the dead, and the unseen afterlife? From ancient Judaism and necromancy laws to the concept of She’ol and the persistence of the dead in antiquity, this conversation explores why so many modern Christians—especially in more evangelical circles—collapse every spirit into the category of “demon.”Along the way, the discussion moves through ancestor traditions, offerings to the dead, Greco-Roman and Mesopotamian parallels, and the theological unease that comes from admitting the afterlife may be more complicated than a neat heaven-or-hell framework. The episode also branches into larger philosophical territory: free will, Gnosticism, the Nephilim, the spirits of the giants, and whether humanity is far more in the dark about the nature of reality than most of us want to admit.This is a wide-ranging, sometimes dark, but always thoughtful conversation about the dead, the divine, and the dangerous temptation to oversimplify the unseen world. #SouthernDemonology #Demonology204 #Necromancy #Sheol #SpiritsOfTheDead #Ghosts #UnseenDead #AncientJudaism #SecondTempleJudaism #Theology #ParanormalPodcast #ReligiousStudies #Demonology #AfterlifeSupport this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/southerndemonology">http://supporter.acast.com/southerndemonology</a>.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
