[Music] Jews already had a pagan daddy. Yeah. Centuries prior to Christianity, the Jews were already hugging Dianisis. That's the big that's the big red pill is when you find out that you first you think the question is, is the New Testament drawing from pure Jewish or is it drawing from Greek and Jewish? Then you find out that there is no pure Jewish. That the Jewish writers of the time period were already going to the Greeks, borrowing from the Greeks, borrowing from the Hittites, borrowing from the Egyptians, borrowing from the Romans, borrowing from whoever. And they're all kind of borrowing from each other. It's fear is in acknowledging uh let's say that you guys are right and that they did borrow from pagan and the Jews were helenized. What is wrong with that? because it takes away the sacredness of the story that Moses was handed these from God. Welcome to a campfire episode with Myth Vision and the Gnostic Informant. We're talking to Derek Lambert and Neil Sendlac. We're talking all things ancient Christianity and ancient texts. Uh this is the third installment. Uh we talked to each of them individually in the last two episodes and then this third one we got us all together and we just started peppering them with questions asking them about uh old versions of Christianity and YouTubers and things like that. So if you've ever heard of Wes Huff, Billy Carson, Aman Hillman, some of those guys, they know them and have had a lot of dramatic interactions with them and it's just some of the coolest stories. So we got to talk to them about being on YouTube and building up their channels and then also some of some extra things. So, these episodes are all standalone. You don't have to go back and listen to the other two, but if you like these guys, this is such a fun conversation. They're really good friends. They hang out on a regular basis, and so we just got to kind of be flies on the wall and keep asking them stuff. Um, thanks for listening.
