A Life Marked by Distortion
Robinson immersed himself in the “furry” movement, a community that sexualizes cartoonish animal identities. At the same time, he lived with a transgender partner and frequently publicized their struggles online. To many, these may seem like eccentric hobbies or private lifestyle choices. In reality, they represent grotesque distortions of humanity, rejecting the image of God in favor of hybrid identities and chaos. When people blur the lines between human and animal or male and female, they step onto ground long associated with demonic influence.

The Return of Ancient Corruption
Scripture tells us of the Nephilim, hybrid offspring of fallen angels and human women, who lived both before and after the flood. Giants like Og of Bashan and the Anakim were physical reminders that this corruption continued long after Noah’s time. Extra-biblical texts, such as the Book of Giants found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, describe how fallen angels also defiled animals, producing monstrous hybrids that filled the earth with violence. These writings echo the same theme: demonic powers seek to corrupt and twist God’s creation.
Echoes in Today’s Culture
Robinson’s obsessions mirror those ancient patterns. The fascination with hybridized identities, whether through sexualized animal personas or the rejection of God’s created order of gender, is not merely rebellion. It is spiritual perversion that tracks with the corruption described in Genesis and the apocryphal writings. Pagan myths, too, are filled with tales of gods mingling with animals, further showing how deeply humanity has been tempted by these distortions throughout history.
A Battle as Old as Eden
From the serpent’s deception in the garden to the giants of old, Satan has always sought to mar God’s image in mankind. Robinson’s act of violence against a Christian leader is not just a personal tragedy but a chilling reminder of the larger battle between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.
Our Call in the Last Days
These are not just cultural curiosities. They are spiritual battles that are intensifying as we draw closer to the last days. The church cannot remain silent while demonic distortions lure a generation into darkness. True love is not silence, it is exposing lies and calling souls back to God’s design.

Christ has already crushed the serpent’s head. As lawlessness increases, believers must stand firm in truth, proclaim the victory of Jesus, and call the lost out of deception and into the light. The world may celebrate perversion, but the gospel declares freedom and restoration for all who repent and believe.
