    S2.15 - Introducing Trichotomy, Dichotomy and Dualistic Holism

    This is meant to be a brief introduction to the topic so we can visit the Scriptures, later on, to discuss which we find most convincing. Demon slayers will use trichotomy as a set fact (rather than philosophy) to defend how demons can attach themselves to your soul (but not your spirit).

    Hey all! Have had SOOO many questions come in on IG about this series - I thought I'd offer some background as to what I DO believe, what I HAVE experienced, and the purpose in doing this. Firstly, as a pastor - you want to show yourself approved in the Word. I do not want to base every believe on my past experiences, I want to study the Word as I'm doing this. So journey with me as I explain what I believe, what I've seen, what I know and what I don't know. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ramblingpreacher/support

    Mike Signorelli was on Saldivar's channel. This became a reel. Like, for real. Mike makes the claim that many "intellectuals" and "deep exegetical work of Scripture" guys are just addicted to (this) in order to avoid their trauma (demons). Let's discuss the countless reasons this is absolutely ridiculous (and yet, Saldivar says "Wow" about seventeen times). I digress. When you study something and research ministries... anyway.
