Back in the first episode of this show, I laid out several mysteries of the Bible that have always puzzled me. Things like talking donkeys, six-fingered giants, that time Michael got into a fistfight with the devil over the body of Moses… And I’ve done episodes on all these things.

But there’s one mysterious verse for which I never got around to finding an explanation, and that will finally change today.

In I Corinthians 6:3, Paul writes:

Do you not know that we are to judge angels?

Uh, no, I didn’t know that. I must have missed that day in Sunday School. Frankly, I don’t feel qualified to judge angels. I can’t even judge the difference in butter and Country Crock. And yet the Bible offhandedly says buckle up and get ready for some angel judging.

I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible.

Turn to I Corinthians 6, and let’s get weird.
