Reaction: Dr. Heiser on Generational Sin

In this video from the Discovering Me Learning Center, hosts Fern and Audrey and guest Jeremy Fort from thebiblefortcast.com explore the journey of healing from past trauma, focusing on generational sin. The discussion features insights from Dr. Michael Heiser, who regularly visited Fern and Audrey's ministry to provide teaching and support to survivors. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing oneself as made in the image of God and escaping the "prison" of a painful past. Jeremy, a pastor and teacher of biblical Hebrew, shares his connection to the ministry, highlighting the church's challenges in effectively ministering to survivors.
The video delves into the theological concepts of generational sin and ritual versus moral impurity, with Dr. Heiser offering a nuanced perspective based on scriptural texts. The discussion also addresses the common struggles survivors face, such as carrying guilt and shame from their abuse, and the importance of understanding the distinction between unintentional and intentional sin. The video encourages viewers to reflect on their relationship with God and reassures them that nothing disqualifies them from His love.

I’m glad to see you two make the transition onto and into the internet, social media world. And our Prayers go up to our Lord God Almighty may he see you through this process and thrive therein.

Deliverance ministry drove me to insanity and hospitalization. Others were driven to their deaths.

I train Christians how to make different decisions in the present so we impact our children differently than we were trained. We can change our children’s future.

This is so true!!

Fern and Audrey I have been listening to every video of you that I can. I was a home student of the Naked Bible Podcast with Heiser and him I miss dearly! I hope word of this gets out so you can get funded as much as possible. ❤

Can you please make. The whole video available?

Hello thank you for this. I have a question. What about the apostles going out preaching the gospel and expelling demons? And that these signs will accompany those tho believe? Isn’t expelling demons part of it too?

[@tlawhon]

My personal view is that it is not either or, but both and, depending on the particular case. I agree that the behavior of parents has a significant effect on the children, but if we take into account the spiritual context of biblical teachings, including the casting out of "unclean spirits", then we must make room for the involvement of those same spirits in our lives. To deny either one is potentially to close the door on possible effective responses.

Hi, I grew up around this teaching too and while it is true - we don't know what that actually looks like do we? I think preaching the gospel and planting that seed in hearts - when God brings the increase from that - it IS casting out demons to a certain extent. If the person who hears the word and acts on it then stops backbiting, acting out of anger, or doing things that are bad for them and others... is that not changing who they serve and thus casting out what DID take their energies and talents? I just don't think it always has to be "showy". To me that seems to serve the person doing the preaching more than God or the person being delivered and that does not strike me as "good fruit", or harmonize with a LOT of scripture. Just IMO - but I have been thinking on these things for many, many years. :)

This may shed light on the question as to whether a born again believer can be truly indwelled/possessed by an unclean spirit. If it is the strong influence of an 'intelligent evil', given access to a mind corrupted at an early age, and having at that early age, or weakened stage, built up a web of lies and deceits that claim Jesus has turned their back on the person, the entity could remain in a type of peripheral control even after salvation. The words of Jesus, when he cautions delivering someone from a demon, and leaving the space swept clean comes to mind. The church has lost discipleship as it's calling after spreading the gospel.. Making sure the brethren are grounded in the word from the beginning. The first church knew they had pagans, without any knowledge of God, coming to Jesus. They knew they had to start at square one. Nowadays it's assumed everyone will catch up in time. Maybe we should start to assume as the first church did... I know it's not simple as I've said. Just a thought out loud.
