But too much of it is confusing. And strange. And sometimes scary.
And that’s OK. God’s thoughts are higher than ours. We are not always going to understand everything in His book.
But there’s still a whole lot out there in God’s Word that we can find answers to, and this website/podcast exists to provide them.
Our goal is that after you read one of our articles or listen to a podcast episode, your Bible makes more sense to you than it did before you visited.
And not only that- when we learn about weird stuff in the Bible, we come to understand a lot of weird stuff about reality.
What We Believe
Statement of Faith
These are the fundamental principles that guide this site and undergird anything we publish.
The Scriptures are the inspired Word of God. Every word of the Bible in the Old and New Testaments has been preserved and is useful for doctrine, reproof, correction and training in righteousness (II Timothy 3:16). Not a single word meant to be in God’s Holy Word has been in error or lost to time (Matthew 24:35). Every word of prophecy which has not yet been fulfilled will be completely fulfilled someday (II Peter 3:1-13, Isaiah 55:11, Revelation 22:8).
There is one true God who is the creator of the universe and everything in it, as well as the heavens, the unseen realm and all the spiritual beings who inhabit it (Genesis 1). God has revealed Himself to mankind as a triune being- three persons in one- the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity, the Messiah promised in the Old Testament, entered this world 2,000 years ago, born of a virgin, lived a perfect and sinless life, and died on the cross for the sins of all mankind. He rose again three days later and now sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven (I Corinthians 15).
Jesus is coming again and will physically rule and reign on this planet (Revelation 19-20).
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. He resides in every born-again believer and empowers us to live a sanctified life in this present age (Romans 8).
Man is sinful and in a fallen state (Genesis 3), and apart from a new life in Christ, every person is doomed to an eternity in hell (Revelation 20:15).
The Gospel is the message that Jesus atoned for our sins on the cross. Salvation is granted to those who believe Jesus was the Son of God who died and rose again. The righteousness of Christ is imputed to anyone who accepts this message by faith and makes Jesus the Lord of their life (Romans 10:9-10).
The church is the congregation of believers throughout the world who have accepted the Gospel. God has tasked the church with the Great Commission: to spread the Kingdom of God throughout the world by sharing the Gospel and to build the Kingdom by discipling new converts (Matthew 28:18-20).
Angels, Fallen Angels, Demons, Cherubim, Seraphim and any spiritual beings that the Bible talks about are real. They are not metaphorical or physical/mental illnesses. Though they are powerful, they are not more powerful than God, and the Holy Spirit empowers the church to withstand and overcome any malevolent spiritual powers in opposition to God’s rule (Matthew 16:19).
This website does not represent any particular denomination, although its beliefs will reflect the general statements of faith found in many protestant denominations, as well as the tenets of the Apostle’s Creed.
Statement on the Book of Enoch
This website will occasionally share clearly marked citations from the Book of Enoch. Because of confusion surrounding the apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, we want to clarify this website’s stance on Enoch to explain why we use it.
We do NOT believe the Book of Enoch is the Word of God, meant to be canonized Scripture, or a “lost book of the Bible.”
We consider the Book of Enoch to be a generally reliable though imperfect source of information about the world before the flood and the supernatural realm.
We believe this because numerous Biblical authors read and believed in the Book of Enoch and made reference to it in their New Testament writings, including Paul, Peter and Jude.
Jude himself includes a direct quotation from the Book of Enoch.
Jesus Himself also referenced teachings found only in the Book of Enoch.
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has verified that the Jewish community at the time of the New Testament (Second Temple era) took the Book of Enoch seriously.
Because the Book of Enoch is not Scripture, we do not make any claims about its perfection or preservation.
About Luke Taylor
Luke Taylor is the Editor-in-Chief of WeirdStuffInTheBible.com, as well as the host of the podcast. An ordained minister with the Assemblies of God, he graduated the School of Ministry in 2019, a multi-year training program through Berean School of the Bible/Global University. He has served as a staff pastor and worked in Christian media for nearly 20 years.
While preparing a Bible study on the book of Jude several years ago, I realized there was a lot more going on in my Bible than I had ever been taught growing up. Adults hadn’t hid it from me; they didn’t know it either! Turns out there are a lot of weird details in the Bible that most Christians just kind of skim over. I decided I wasn’t going to do that anymore, and I created this website to share what I and others have learned as we dug into Scripture’s strangest passages.
