Nephilim Death Squad

Why is the church so divided? 1 Corinthians 1:1-17 (KJV): Paul greets a gifted church, then confronts the divisions tearing it apart.
1 Corinthians Part 1 (Corinthians for Dummies) with Matttttt Hepner and the Raven: a slow, conversational read through Paul's opening chapter.

Matt and the Raven start with Paul, called to be an apostle by Jesus and not by any institution, and the saints at Corinth. They ask why grace comes before peace, why Paul thanks God for people before he corrects them, and what it means to be called unto the fellowship of God's Son. Then they reach Chloe's report of "I am of Paul... I of Apollos" and ask what Paul's warning means for a church split by denominations, and why he would not preach with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ be made of none effect.

Primary passage: 1 Corinthians 1:1-17 (KJV)
Also in this episode: Acts 19:13-16 · 1 Corinthians 15:58 · 1 John 1:1-3 · Romans 8:38-39 · Ephesians 4:7-13

Can a church host a psychic medium for Halloween? A Halloween medium event in St. Maries, Idaho drew backlash from local churches, and Ed Mabrie of Faith By Reason joins TopLobsta and David Lee Corbo "The Raven" live to break down what the Bible says about mediums, whether Christian families should trick-or-treat, and Paul on meat sacrificed to idols. Plus: a pastor botches yet another rapture date. Streamed live Wednesday, October 28, 2026.

Then Ed answers the backlash from his last appearance: does God know the future? Ed walks through Daniel 7 and the little horn, Jeremiah 1:5, Moses changing God's mind in Exodus, Jeremiah 19:5 ("neither came it into my mind"), and Jonah and Nineveh, and argues that free will is real because God responds to our choices. Also: Calvinism and who gets to interpret Scripture, God, time and gravity, and the case of the counterfeit NDS T-shirt.

Top and Raven read your paranormal testimonies on NDS Chronicles. Matt grew up in an old South Jersey farmhouse where the vacuum died on the 7th of 13 stairs to children's laughter, an old farmer with a pipe stared at him from the bunk bed, a golden cross spun off its nail and flew across the room, and the paranormal investigators his parents called left with claw marks on their backs. Then Duff's psychonaut confession: DMT at 13, 22 hits of acid, a Ouija board, a gorgon, "Hammerhead" spice, Chewbacca Jesus in the mirror, a glowing blue man riding a seven-headed dragon, and a tree demon at a bass festival held on an old burial ground. Now sober at 30, Duff thinks psychedelics are a Nephilim Trojan horse. Is he right?
