Episode Synopsis


We are shaking things up in 2026--Make sure to JOIN US for ALL the content coming - https://join.unrefinedpodcast.comSome ideas belong in the theological recycle bin—this episode takes on one of them. We unpack the “serpent seed” doctrine, where it came from, why it keeps resurfacing, and how it collapses under Hebrew, history, and the church fathers. We trace its Gnostic fingerprints, show how it fuels bad fruit (including racist distortions), and contrast it with the biblical “seed” theme fulfilled in Christ. We also sort out why people confuse Genesis 3 with Genesis 6 and how presentism, isogesis, and click-driven sensationalism muddy the waters. Along the way: Irenaeus, Heiser, Zohar, Ophites, Branham/Murray, and why sound doctrine must marry reason and the supernatural. We wrap with practical tests for spotting heresy and a call back to creedal foundations that love the real Jesus. Today we, welcome back Dr. Judd Burton.https://www.burtonbeyond.net/Timestamps 00:00:08 Creedal foundation 00:00:28 Show intro 00:00:56 Guest setup 00:03:11 What is serpent seed 00:05:36 Deception is moral 00:07:38 Language and training 00:09:43 Interest vs. authority 00:12:08 Fathers refuted it 00:14:31 Gnostic sources cited 00:16:57 Zohar/Kabbalah misuse 00:19:19 Racist applications 00:21:26 Fruit test of doctrine 00:23:48 Nephilim vs serpent seed 00:26:13 Projecting Gen 6 00:33:03 Crushing the serpent 00:35:10 Seed ≠ DNA only 00:37:34 Presentism cautions 00:39:43 Evidence and humility 00:42:08 Emergent/Gnostic drift 00:44:30 Deconstruction nuance 00:46:51 Creed over tribe 00:49:17 Unraveling danger 00:51:39 Torah and grace 00:54:05 Final thanks
