Dr. Yonatan Adler has demonstrated that it's only from ~150 BCE onwards that we find Judeans practicing a set of dietary restrictions (!) Salafis do not realize the Jewish practices they appropriated and criticize us for are far younger than they have imagined @dawahxdialogues

Abraham never ate pork. Moses never ate pork. David never ate pork. Jesus never ate pork. Why do you eat pork?

Prof. Israel Finkelstein has just published this article in which he argues for a very late dating of certain Biblical texts. Some of this he has discussed before, but some of it (as far as I know) is quite new. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.🙂 Link to the open access article in the first comment.

Curiously the targum identify the first three Servant songs as an individual messiah but it's the last one, Isaiah 53, that is interpreted metaphorically for a collective. This inconsistency may reflect a reaction to early Jewish Christians appealing to Isaiah 53 for Christ

I find this quite interesting in light of the reaction to Muslims adopting the Son of Man. Isaiah 41:8–9, 44:21, 49:3, and 53, is historically understood as referring to Israel personified. I do wonder why Muslims aren’t allowed the same hermeneutical freedom by these people lol.

The Gospel of Luke is a redaction of Marcion's Evangelion. The anonymous author added many legendary embellishments to the early life of Christ, including the annunciations to Zechariah and Mary. This legend also found its way into the Quran (see Surah Maryam) @IjazTheTrini

Fr. Avery Dulles, S.J., in addressing whether it's possible that the eternal Logos appeared to other peoples in forms relative to their culture (e.g. as Buddha, Krishna, etc.), replied in the affirmative

Plato argued that God, being the Supreme Good, is absent of envy or jealousy. If movement of passions is therefore relegated to lesser entities, where does that leave Yahweh and Allah in the chain of being?

Kurt Rudolph argues the gnostic savior myth is of pre-Christian origin and was tied to proto-Gnostic baptizing sects of the Transjordan

I believe Vallee may have learned about ufo-baiting as early as 1967, when he discovered the Pentacle Memo in the files of J. Allen Hynek. thehermeticpenetrator.medium…

In reading Forbidden Science, you should recognize that the book is a Diary, not an analytical report or a memoir. Therefore many important…

Deuteronomy 16:18-18:22 outlines a government run by national assembly without need for a king. If a king were appointed he would be made subordinate to written Law (!) This has no precedent in the Ancient Near East but does fit Hellenistic thought Did Greece inspire Israel?

Philip R. Davies argues Deuteronomy best fits a 5th century BCE provenance and functions as a "colonial program" to define the identify of a people. He considers the Biblical story of Josiah discovering a Law scroll (=Deut) to be a "complete fiction"

An outdated model of early Christianity pitted an early form rooted in Palestinian Judaism and a later Hellenized form found outside of it. In reality, the Palestine of Jesus' time had a legalistic form of Judaism & other more esoteric variants. IMO Jesus belonged to the latter

Jacques Vallee in a journal entry on October 18th, 2022, describes the deeper reality of the Phenomenon as "devastating". We may infer that the nature of the problem is *more* destabilizing than simple ET visitation and abduction. Time appears limited and we may not be in control

Sneako rode the red pill wave while it was hot. Then he jumped off the boat as it was sinking. Then he did the right wing grift (remember his Trump endorsement?) but then left after he realized he’ll never be accepted (remember his crash out about Haiti?) Now he found one community so desperate for clout and approval that they accept anyone. Islam has become the final stop for people desperately looking for a place to be. Is this a good look for our religion?

Jacques Vallee, scientist & successful venture capitalist, pursued ufology after witnessing the French Space Committee destroy tapes of a UFO. After decades of research, he concluded we are not dealing with ETs but a "spiritual control system" Could this be behind all religions?

Raymond E. Brown delicately scrutinized the historicity of the Virgin Birth and described it as "an unexamined doctrine taken for granted" In his book on the subject he still signaled the *possibility* of its historicity and therefore was able to obtain the censor's Nihil Obstat

Marcion of Pontus, the great Paulinist of the 2nd century and creator of the first Christian Canon, defended the doctrine that the god of the Old Testament was not the God of the New We must ask how both Johannine and Pauline schools came to uphold this same conclusion

M. David Litwa argues that the Christ of John's Gospel identifies Yahweh as the Devil (!) and that this is why the Judeans persecuted the Christ and his followers Could the esoteric teachings of the Christ have been more radical than people are prepared to accept?
