Are You an Editor?

In “Are You an Editor?” Pastor Dean Odle challenges Christians and ministers who selectively accept Scripture while dismissing teachings that conflict with denominational systems, popular science, or comfortable church culture. Acts 20 supplies his model: Paul declared the whole counsel of God, warned the flock, and refused to withhold difficult truth. Odle applies that principle to biblical cosmology, the continuing gifts of the Holy Spirit, repentance, prophecy, Israel, and the end times.

Spiritual Warfare #8 - Can a Christian Have Demons?

Dean Odle directly answers the question “Can a Christian have demons?” in the affirmative, distinguishing salvation from the surrender of particular areas of a believer’s soul or body. He argues from warnings addressed to Christians, Israel’s Old Testament experience, and Gospel deliverance accounts that covenant people can fellowship with demons, retain unclean strongholds, and need those bondages removed.

Transformers

Dean Odle warns that false teachers can transform their outward appearance while bringing another Jesus, another spirit, and another gospel into a church. His central test case is denial of eternal conscious punishment: he compares Jesus’ parallel language for eternal life and eternal punishment, cites Matthew 25, Luke 16, Jude, and Peter, and argues that discomfort with judgment cannot authorize changing Scripture.

Spiritual Warfare #6 - Demons & Deliverance

In Spiritual Warfare class six, Dean Odle argues that casting out demons was a normal and prominent part of Jesus’ ministry and was meant to continue through believers. He distinguishes different degrees of demonic influence, traces the origin of demons through his reading of Genesis 6, Jude, 2 Peter, and 1 Enoch, and uses Gospel deliverance accounts to explain how spirits gain and exercise control.

The Shadow Huggers

Dean Odle calls Old Covenant feasts, Sabbaths, food laws, sacrifices, and priesthood a prophetic shadow fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He argues that Christians who make those observances requirements for righteousness are “hugging the shadow” instead of receiving the substance of Passover, Firstfruits, Pentecost, atonement, rest, and tabernacling in Christ.
