In this episode with cover more of the arguments for the historical Jesus claim in Paul's letters: Being born of a woman, Being born of the seed of David in the lilliness of men, Pontius Pilate sending Jesus to the cross and Paul blaming the Jews for Jesus being killed.

In this episode we continue to examine the arguments that Paul speaks of a historical Jesus in his letters. But when closely examined, it appears that he does not. In Part 1 (Was Paul's Jesus a Space Alien) we discussed his silence about anything earthbound about Jesus and countered to Apologetic excuse that he only dealt with church issues and doctrine. In this episode, we tackle the argument about Jesus was born in the flesh by the seed or sperm of King David. The source for this episode is...

In this episode I attempt to tackle the arguments for a historical Jesus in the Pauline letters. As it stands, Paul's 7 authentic letters are completely devoid of any mentioning of an earthbound Jesus whatsoever. However, there are a few Christian arguments that make the claim that Paul never mentions Jesus's life is because it was already common knowledge and that there was no need to tell his congregations anything about him. But to me, this seems odd and out of place. We will also...

In this episode I breakdown the events that led up to the destruction of the holy city and its temple while making some comparisons to New Testament stories that might be about the war and the people involved

In this episode we will review the epistle of Hebrews that appears to be written as late a 68 during the Jewish-Roman War. How did these early Chrostians understand Jesus and in what capacity? Was he a divine human killed by the Romans at the fault of the Jewish elite or was he thought of as a celestial being who has no beginning and has no end that must die and rise in heaven in order to defeat Satan? (Credit given to Richard Carrier and his book, On the Historicity of Jesus - for further...

This is a super important episode as it takes a look at the earliest works of Christian literature starting with Paul with a comparison to what was happening in Rome as well as Judea. I think that this episode will help. Us understand exactly what Paul was responding to and when.

A continuation into the study of Mark's documentary on the Jewish-Roman War of 66-70CE.

This is a review of the Gospel by Mark in comparison to Josephus' Wars of the Jews. We look for parallels and similarities between the two in order to see what this author's agenda was, his audience and what he had hoped to achieve.

This episode is a continuation of finding the paralles between Mark's documentary on the Jewish Wars and the actual events that tool place between 66 and 70 CE (Source Ref: Kimondo's "Gosple of Mark and the War")

In this episode I will begin a series that demonstrates the connections between Mark's gosple and Josephus' Wars of the Jews. This episode will also demonstrate that the Romans did not invent the gosples or Christianity, rather, a concerned Jewish Christian that wanted to change the future for all people after years of death and destruction. Loosely based on Komondo's version.

This episode reflects on the relationship between the Vatican, its Popes and Nazi Germany. Could the Vatican have done something to stop or atleast slow down the deportations and the murders of millions of Jews?

This episode surveys Christian history between the first crusade of 1095 to the Salem Which Trials in the 16th century. We will look at Papal involvement from expulsion of Jews and heretics to being forced into ghettos as well. There is a lot of history to talk about during these years, and I hope that I did it a little bit of justice. Many sources for this episode came from 6 Million Crucifixions by Gabriel Wilenski. The image is Papa Emeritus IV from the band Ghost.

A continuation of the book I Enoch, 4th book, Dream Visions. This is a close look at how early Jews wrote about second temple Judaism and the hellenizers who opporated it

This is a deep look into the Book of Parables. Especially the infamous "Son of Man" verse that every Christian believes is a prophecy about Jesus Christ as seen in the gosple account. But what if that wasn't the case? This episode may challenge they way you view the origins of Christianity

This is a historical review of the first book of Enoch I, The Watchers. What was the message that this author wanted to communicate to his audience and more so, when did he write this work and why? Let's read the story together and figure it out.

This episode seeks to understand the origins of the Jewish God, Yahweh. How does a low-level national deity become king, reigning over all other gods and deities. What events helped promote him to a supreme universal deity and why was this God so obsessed (jealous) with (of) Canaan? These are the questions that we try to answer while using new discoveries and the Bible itself. Artwork provided by Mary_lifreu on IG called, "Read between the lines".

Title is self evident for the content of this episode, but the topic was inspired by every single discussion that I have ever had with a Muslim and how they defend their holy book through scientific claims that we weren't aware of yet. It's a good show, give it a listen. Artwork provided by Mary_lifreu on IG go check her out!

In this episode, I review all the arguments for the dating of the Hebrew Bible and its sources. I hold the position that it is of extremely late dating, sometime after the Alexandrian period between 312 and 150 BCE and some literature as late as 50 BCE, whereas other scholarships like to settle on the Persian period, 539 to 350 BCE. I lay out all the arguments so that you can decide on your own. Artwork provided by Mary_lifreu on IG entitled "You can't hold me."

This episode explores the roots of the second largest religion in the world with followers worldwide, the Abrahamic religion called Islam. We find that the religion's founder, Mohammed may have incorporated Pagan stories, festivals and traditions into Islam perhaps on purpose or accidentally. Either way, we review all the sources. We also take a close look at the Kaba, the holiest temple of God to 2 billion Muslims and its origins. Enjoy! Art provided by Mary_lifreu on IG called "A mindless...

In this episode, we continue to talk about the arguments that turned into outright wars between one sect of Christianity and others. We also consider the Arias Conflict and the bloody war that ensued between two Catholic leaders and how that affected the religion. We often forget that before Christians were killing Pagan and Jews, they were killing each other over doctrine

This episode is the continuation from episode 4, "Deconstructing the Messiahs". We end that episode questioning the historicity of the Biblical Jesus found in the New Testament, but now we take another look at other similar salvation cults that were alive and striving before Paul's time, that are also only features of the Mediterranean world, and no where else! It's very plausible that Jesus was developed after the concepts of the Egyptian Osiris and others. We also consider all the reasons...

This is the conclusion of Deconstructing the Messiahs. A deep look at the earliest movements of Christianity to becoming the largest religion in the world and the fallout. Once again, a huge thanks to Cameron Reilly and his "Marketing the Messiah". Please visit his Twitter page and find his books as well as his podcasts and give him some support.

This is an episode that I have been dying to talk about and record for months now. It takes a very close look at what early Christians were doing in the first century and how they were reacting to other messianic groups with leaders and followers from the time of Paul to our first gosples. Please join me in this 2 part special and a huge shout out to the author, director, actor and Podcaster, Cameron Reilly and his "Marketing the Messiah". This is my twist on his already amazing film.

In this episode we take a look at all those verses that were mistranslated by Christian scribes from Hebrew to Greek and how those errors changed biblical stories as well as the entire Christian narrative. Additionally, we will discuss the reasons why Jews reject the Christian Jesus as the prophesied Jewish Messiah.

In this episode we study the development of the earliest form of the New Testament along with those involved, when and why. This is a continuation and conclusion of Bart Ehrman's Lost Christianities. This book is a "must read" for deeper understanding.
