Reading the Book of Exodus Carnally vs Spiritually Ep 23

We continue our series through the King James Bible by turning our focus to the Book of Exodus, a powerful and widely recognized story of bondage, deliverance, and divine law. In this episode, Exodus is explored through two distinct lenses: the traditional understanding typically taught in modern churches,  and even by modern social media influencers, versus the spiritual and symbolic, inward interpretation presented in Tyler Doka’s teachings from New Jerusalem. Traditionally, Exodus is viewed as a historical account of the Israelites’ enslavement in Egypt, God’s intervention through Moses, the plagues, the miraculous escape, and the establishment of divine law. But what if this story is not only about events that happened long ago? Through a symbolic reading, Exodus takes on a deeper dimension, one that reflects the internal human experience. Egypt becomes a state of bondage, Pharaoh represents resistance and control, and the journey out of Egypt becomes a picture of inner transformation and awakening. Using full quotations from the King James Bible, this episode examines key moments including: The bondage in Egypt The burning bush and the revelation of “I AM” The plagues and confrontation with Pharaoh The Passover and deliverance The crossing of the Red Sea The wilderness journey The giving of the law The construction of the tabernacle Each passage is explored side‑by‑side, showing how meaning shifts depending on whether the text is read outwardly as history or inwardly as a symbolic reflection of the mind. Throughout the discussion, themes like bondage and freedom, fear and trust, resistance and surrender, and law versus transformation come into focus, revealing two very different ways of understanding the same words. This episode doesn’t ask you to choose a side, it invites you to see more clearly. Is Exodus simply the story of a people leaving Egypt… or is it also the story of what it means for you to move from inner bondage into freedom?

Reading the Book of Genesis Carnally vs. Spiritually Ep 22

Charlie and Charly have explored Tyler Doka's teachings in previous episodes, but in this newest series, we will go over each Book in the King James Bible. In this episode we begin with the Book of Genesis through two very different lenses: the way it is commonly taught in modern churches (carnally), and the symbolic, inward interpretation presented in Tyler Doka’s teachings from New Jerusalem (spiritually). Rather than arguing for one perspective over the other, this conversation is designed to compare how the text changes depending on how it is read, whether through a literal, a carnal outward framework or a symbolic, spiritual one. As it is written: “Who also hath made us able ministers of the New Testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” — 2 Corinthians 3:6 Using direct quotations from Genesis, including the creation story, the Garden of Eden, the fall, Cain and Abel, the flood, and the lives of the patriarchs, we explore how each passage can be understood carnally and spiritually. What does “Let there be light” mean? Is the Garden of Eden a historical place, or a state of inner awareness? Are life, death, exile, and restoration external events, or descriptions of the human experience? Throughout this episode, we highlight recurring themes and show how they function differently across these two frameworks. In traditional religious teaching, these ideas are often tied to historical events and future outcomes. In a symbolic reading, they point inward, toward present awareness, transformation, and understanding. This episode invites you to step back, examine the text closely, and consider a deeper question: Is Genesis telling the story of the world’s beginning… or the story of what happens within us?

The Afterlife Misconception (retake) Ep 21

Note: Our first version didn't convey our original intent. We meant to look at the subject of the Afterlife taught by various religious teachings through the lens of Tyler Doka, so we decided to try this again. What if heaven and hell were never meant to be destinations after death, but descriptions of inner states in the present moment? In this episode, we take a deep, comparative look at how the Torah, the Bible, the Qur’an, Buddhism, and Confucian thought speak about life, death, judgment, heaven, and hell when read symbolically rather than literally. Using direct quotations from each tradition, we explore a shared pattern: language about the “afterlife” often points inward, toward consciousness, moral awareness, awakening, and transformation, not a post-mortem destination. We examine why the Torah largely avoids explicit afterlife teaching, how biblical resurrection and judgment language as present‑moment awakening, how Qur’anic imagery of the Garden and the Fire functions experientially, and how Buddhism and Confucius approach liberation and moral order without relying on post‑death promises at all. Rather than debating doctrine, this episode asks a more personal and practical question: If salvation, judgment, and eternal life are lived now, how should that change the way we live today? “For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?” - Deuteronomy 5:26- “Living” describes awakened responsiveness, not biological survival. * Resurrection = awakening from ignorance * Death = living under false belief / law / flesh * “Awake thou that sleepest” - Ephesians 5:14 * “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;” - Ephesians 2:1 This conversation invites you to step out of darkness and reconsider everything you've been taught. The afterlife is actually a call to inner clarity, responsibility, and conscious living in the present moment.

Matthew 24:5 - Organized Religion is the false Christ

In this thought-provoking episode of the Deep Dyve that may offend many listeners. We explore the deeper meaning behind Matthew 24:5 and and Mark 13:26–27, and challenge conventional interpretations of organized religion. Titled “Organized Religion is the False Christ,” this discussion examines how organized religions of today, distort the message of Christ. Through scripture analysis and real-world reflection, this episode invites listeners to question the difference between genuine faith and religious structure. What does it truly mean to follow Christ? And how can individuals discern truth in a world shaped by tradition, authority, and interpretation? Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, questioning long-held beliefs, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of spirituality, this episode encourages critical thinking, personal reflection, and a view the authentic truth.

Religion's misconception: Women in the Bible

What do “women” and genders really represent in the Bible? Are they simply historical figures and moral examples, or could they be symbolic expressions of something happening inside us? Is the world completely wrong about genders and how modern feminists view scripture?  In this episode, we explore two very different ways Scripture is read. We begin by asking a simple but important question: should the Bible be understood literally and socially, or symbolically and spiritually? From there, we examine how women are portrayed through these two lenses. Drawing from New Jerusalem by Tyler Doka, we unpack Tyler’s teaching that women in Scripture are not biological categories, but spiritual symbols. According to Tyler, women represent the receptive side of the soul, the inner “womb” where belief, doctrine, and understanding take root and produce fruit. We explore symbols such as the Bride of Christ, the Virgin, the Mother, and the Harlot, showing how each reflects inner spiritual states rather than real‑world gender roles. We then contrast this with how modern religion typically approaches women in the Bible, through historical readings, feminist analysis, and debates like complementarianism versus egalitarianism, as discussed in Feminist Philosophy of Religion. Finally, we compare these frameworks, highlighting where misunderstandings arise and why interpretation shapes how faith, identity, and even reality itself are constructed. We invite listeners to reflect deeply on how symbolism changes the way we read Scripture, and ourselves.
