The last post I wrote, talking about Socrates message and potential negative influence, seemed to me to be confirmed in a big way by this synchronicity. I also wanted to mention a few more things I find just amazing about this video in general:
Youtube: Aaron Abke: Exposing Paul: The FALSE PROPHET who hijacked the gospel:
https://youtu.be/4jdfQ9YwqYs?si=EhP4mxp8n9VYL-94
At 48 minutes, James discusses Acts 16:16. Where a slave girl who is possessed by a demon. Follows Paul and his companions around for three days promoting that Pauls message is a good one.
The discussion then clarifies that the demon that the girl was possessed by was a demon called 'Python'. That was an entity that was said to protect the Oracle of Delphi. The Oracle of Delphi also used the negative form of tongues. A negative and positive for of tongues are here clarified.
The Oracle of Delphi is how Socrates got his start. Where he was told that he was the wisest man in Athens by said individual.
Because this was about a week ago, this doesn't hold any particular charge for me now. Nowhere near when I first heard it and had just put that last blog out. But this next part is something I am internally processing the significance of:
At one hour and thirty three minutes Aaron brings up this passage. I'm not expecting you to read this bible passage, I'm just providing context:
As for those who were held in high esteem—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—they added nothing to my message. 7 On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised,[a] just as Peter had been to the circumcised.[b] 8 For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles. 9 James, Cephas[c] and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. 10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.
11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
Aaron makes the case that this is extremely narcissistic of Paul. Thisas his meeting with Jesus' actual disciples. That Paul admonishes one of them for some perceived error. That even his own friend Barnabas wasn't putting up with Paul.
I have had conversations with Christians about these themes. Their dogged determination to not acknowledge, even when directly quoted, that Paul had a disagreement with Jesus' real disciples, and by extension, and also directly Jesus. Is pretty amazing.
But what is more amazing is that this can so blatantly be in the text. Along with all the other things discussed here, and millions of people over decades, perhaps centuries, have not put it together. Have not discussed it. Have not appeared to actually process the bible in any meaningful way.
It's just mad stuff. That such a lie, such a big lie, like the legitimacy of Paul, can go on for so long. That no one notices or says anything about it.
It makes me wonder what do people do with their time? What do they spend their time thinking about to not notice this kind of thing?
