Ep 72 - Satan and Demons: Has There Always Been Evil?

Event Horizon

Chapter 2: Episode 72
Welcome to the Event Horizon podcast, where we explore our world's dark and mysterious places, people, and practices. In this episode, we ask the question, Has Evil Always Been There? In essence, I want to know if evil existed before there was good. Genesis 1:2 gives us a hint. It reads, “And earth was without form, and void, darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” If the earth lacked form and void and was cast in darkness, does that mean evil presided over the land? What about Satan? What role does Satan play in spreading evil and darkness? I take on all these topics in this episode.
