It makes sense to me. How many times has the Bible been translated... and re-translated... and re-re-translated? Doesn't take much for 'mistakes' to creep in, intentionally or otherwise. The Bible began as a spiritual guide (first mention) but has become a manipulative tool (second mention). Why was Asherah erased? Because men feared women's power and wanted to take it away, have all the power for themselves. I'm not saying that a matrifocal society would necessarily be any better than what we have now, but why has nobody in so-called civilised society given it a try? Because men think they're superior. Wrong. Men and women are different, but equal.
It makes Sense To Me. Much absorption has led me to similar conclusions prior to hearing this. People made The Bible. No wonder Mohammed dictated the Koran. There was so much confusion. One teacher made it even simpler.
@@Wisest-Quotes Very sad how much disrespect and wrong guidance in this kind of podcast. Anyways they invited you to forget about them and come and join their beliefs. Funny!

Instead of saying they copied it, it could also be said that Christianity "is" a continuation of them. Religion is an evolving process that changes more in some periods than others. In today's world of rapid worldwide communication religion is undergoing major changes.
@@justincase3108 serving god is not a religion? Its a way of life! There are not wanting intimations to suggest that this world has undergone a catalismic change! I mean is the big bang not rediculous? All an exploision does is cause destruction! You see a mind made this world! The mind of god! And i challenge you to respond with anything we can do without first thinking about it?
Me too, about the same age. Attended church and sunday school for years and my analysis of the church was that it was basically a power structure. The ethics and laws are good but why do they have to include the religious part, power structure and money. Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the same god but in slightly different ways, why? Power structure is the obvious answer.
After 30 years of Christian evangelical fundamentalism, watching an interview with Prof Stavrakopoulou on Mythvision channel was the 1st step to me waking up. I didn’t want what she said to be true, and I ordered her book to understand more and maybe try to debunk it. I simultaneously laughed & cried: humour in seeing the origins of what I personally held so dear but couldn’t objectively see due to these feelings, and sorrow akin to mourning on the death of your most beloved. However I am hugely grateful to her for her scholarship and witty style, being able to laugh as “penny drop moments” hit me between the eyes was helpful in mitigating the discomforting revelations.. but the logical shocks were just enough to jolt me awake, and what I could see I couldn’t unsee. The clip of Prof Stavrakopoulou describing the threats she’s received was awful, but demonstrate the poisonous affect religion can have (weak-men misogynistic violence cowardly hides behind holy religiosity as “justification”). One of the sources of cognitive dissonance for me over many years was how “worldly” ppl were so much nicer to be around than church “family” who had the God the Holy Spirit supposedly living right inside them lol. As I say, I owe Dr Stavrakopoulou a great debt for her work & skillful communication of that research to popularise it in society. And I’m glad I didn’t “wimp out” on reading the book, I smile at every copy I see and wish it Godspeed into someone’s hands, a book truly worthy of being evangelical about 😅❤!
Jesus Christ and the Bible is true. Our humanness can't understand God or his word it can only be revealed through the holy Spirit of God or the 3rd party of the Godhead. Based on the Bible and God of she can convince you Christ isn't God than it's likely you were never a saved Christian to begin with. The only unforgivable sin is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit of God. Meaning if we deny revelation from the holy Spirit it's a blatant act of rejection. I'll pray for the holy Spirit to come into you heart and reveal the truth and remove the scales from your eyes
@calanm7880 Well done and I'm glad you found your way out of bible jail ..rational clear and healthy thinking and an increase in evidence should bring believers closer to their beliefs and their chosen God ...however it does the opposite ..and many like yourself are waking up and becoming all they were meant to be again .. Religious leaders know a simple secret ..they are very confident in one thing" Human weakness" And the simple formula of using an old mystical book full of childlike stories of 3 days in a whales stomach Boats that carried 100 thousand animals during a flood and an old man hundreds of years old was the captain ...Harry potter style dragon's demons and angles flying around your head ...inevitably were destined to be exposed as silly stories to scare children ... All the best to you and enjoy a full and memorable life ✨️
@@calanm7880 was a Christian my whole life. But she made great sense to me Also Drs Macdonald, Miller, and Carrier all made me understand Greek mythology running rampant throughout the New Testament. Don’t be bothered by the naysayers on here you finally saw the true light of reality.
@@mungiesilvers5544 So, you would read her book and presuppose she is wrong because of your faith. You should always be ready, even willing, to challenge your most dearly held beliefs. There is no growth otherwise. I once asked Jesus to come into my heart and nothing happened. Was that my fault or God's for hardening my heart? Weird flex bro.
Stories are the best way to hold a message. Though it can change a little here and there through time passing, the real message generally remains the same.
This is true. I recommend an excellent book on this subject by Joseph Campbell, called 'The Power of Myth'. It will illuminate the subconscious and the Jungian archetypes that inspire the shared stories of humanity. Curiously, Campbells studies affirmed his catholic faith which I found bizarre. His book 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces' was the inspiration for the movie 'Star Wars'. Fascinating topic..
This is what made Jesus such a threat. He taught about a personal divine connection that didn’t need religious/political authorities. So they killed him and his life and message were co-opted by the Roman Empire and turned into the very thing he hated. If he returned today, he would fight the power structures of Christianity and would be labeled a heretic once again.
He would be a fraud. Political cartoons don't become human. Christians would fight over who he belonged to. Governments would shoot him down as some ufo or alien.
@@terminaltvshow I have this bit of hope that if he did come back, he’d be taken in, and protected, by the number of us who can now see, exactly what he was trying to say. Soooo many of us have turned away from religion. Not god or Jesus necessarily, but religion. I hope maybe, we don’t let that happen again.
@@terminaltvshow he has been back. Many times. As men, women, animals etc etc no one cared. Because it wasn’t in the forms people were hoping for. Neville Goddard for example, will always be much more of what a Christ-like figure would’ve been like over ANY religious figures. Ever.
@@MotherOfCats-m2g That's the reason I differentiate by using different names; I'm atheist but have no gripe with _real_ Christianity. It's the church - churchianity - I have issues with. Jesus was awesome, there's no arguing that, but certain humans, like some do with almost everything, twisted and spoiled his teachings of love and compassion for their own ends.
@@MotherOfCats-m2gReligion has caused a lot of problems through all civilizations. Each civilization followed their own Gods and Deity's. There is only one Almighty God who created everything, all Humans were derived from Adam and Eve through sexual relationships: All except Jesus, who was born miraculously without using sperm! It would be interesting to see how his DNA test compares with everyone and whether or not Mary had been been hypnotised, drugged and sexually assaulted!😮 16:49
This makes sense to me because I experienced misogyny in relationships, my workplace, religion, and society. There is no freedom nor respect for women under power structure.
I have watched countless videos, listened to countless lectures and researched entire concepts of religion and spirituality worldwide and continue to come to the same conclusions. This video sums up my findings and beliefs as well or better than any other. This put it all in perspective in a very direct, well articulated and easy to understand way that cuts right to the chase and avoids entertaining all the multitudes of distractions and alternate routes most deep dives into rabbit holes tend to present that can lead you off track and create more confusion. I'd share this to anyone as a brief yet comprehensive assesment of my thoughts on the bible and organized religion as a whole. Well done 👏
What kind of God are we talking about? Cruel for women and slaves and He is invisible. He discourages to question authorities but encourages the poor to be oppressed by higher authorities. He allows suffering and Hell but claims to be a loving Father. The whole thing about Him is weird.
Just switch religions & find a god (or goddess) you like better. People have tried. Most people like the ones that say "be good to yourself," or like Jesus, "Be excellent to each other." Good luck. Life is pain. God is just an explanation for all that pain.
@@brianpark8758, Yes, and also the Parable of the Good Samaritan. It's Jesus' standard for "who is my neighbor?" It's not your fellow Jew or even your fellow man, but rather, it's those who have been excellent to you.

Yes. The bible was written by Constantine in the 5th century and it’s riddled with lies made up bs to suit the Roman’s political situation at the time. It’s all man made bs
Brilliant and beautiful. This is simply summarized by the dictum of Seneca, that "Religion is considered by the common people as true, and by the wise as false and by the rulers as useful."
In 1963, a Greek Catholic priest named Isa Rashid, along with his Swiss friend Billy Eduard Albert Meier, discovered a small cave on the slope of a hill in Jerusalem. They found ancient scrolls wrapped in animal skin and encased in dry resin. The scrolls contained a 2000-year-old biographical narrative of a man named Jmmanuel, who taught about the true nature of the universe, the immortality of the human spirit through reincarnation, and a life free from the constraints of human greed and lust for power. Isa Rashid translated 36 chapters of the scrolls from Aramaic to German, but he and his family were later assassinated. However, before his death, he sent the translated chapters to his friend in Switzerland, who assembled them into the book "The Talmud Jmmanuel." This book contains the unedited original versions of Mark1-23 and sheds light on why the story didn't gain widespread attention. The discovery of the scrolls and their precise location in 1963 is indeed remarkable.
I came across Meier's discovery a year or two ago. I've been studying the subject for years, looking for secret knowledge and the truth that the churches seem to be pointing toward, but are afraid of losing their control over people. It's time for this knowledge to be widespread.
@QuantumConsciousness888 Yeees. You have to have EYES to see. The word Religion, letters alone spell something that literally made me practically pass out. Okay, you have to add and remove in the English language. Re- or to do again Ligion: One letter just does not match to make the right word. Take out the first 'I" and add an "e". Legion To Legion Again.
We live in a society of punishment by restrictions of faith and freedoms. Crushing control by violent actions occurs when you violate such restrictions.
The old, outmoded societal and political structures are falling, being dismantled. The problem is deciding what they will be replaced with. More control, or more freedom?
I love what you say. Worshiping Jesus on the cross is sign of each worshiper that keeps nailing their own heart day in day out and waiting for someone else to stop it rather then stopping it by themselves
The fact that the Goddess Asherah could be just erased because the worship of her was a complication and a threat to the power that leaders wanted. It tells me that how those at the top of society knew the whole idea of divine gods was just a huge ruse and a very useful tool to control and manipulate those poor, ignorant, souls beneath them.
The first time I ever heard the "God of Judaism" states he was a "jealous God", I knew everything about it was wrong. God is never jealous, He never envies anyone.
Exodus 20:5 - Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
How can a God be jealous if he’s the only one. Jealous of what or who. How? Don’t make bit of sense. When humans created a god they gave them human traits.
Paul Wallis and Mauro Biglino, the chief hebrew translator for the Vatican's schools, see the OT as a manipulated text. They say the term "YHWH" or Yahweh, is not a hebrew word,and scholars have never identified it's etymology. It was inserted into the text over the many references to the various elohim, creating a narrative of a monotheistic 'god' ruling over the "israelites". there is so much more to this, that there is not room enough to explain. Conor Macdari also goes into the fact that most of the words in the bible are clearly of Irish origin, he states it is an Irish book - clearly. So there is definitely some major manipulation going on which has been hidden. The original hebrew of the first chapter of Genesis also speaks of: "Father Light, Son of Man, El the Mother, Morning Star and the light men". It never speaks in the sense of a "trinity" and does not exclude the feminine in the godhead, as the priesthood has done. The current ideas formed by this very old patriarchal narrative must be done away with, why people have not seen though this is astonishing.
Paul Wallace and Billy Carson are sharing facts. They say yeshua was not crucified and his message was not to follow evil yahway posing as a god as Yeshuas annunaki family had been doing as well. And that everything is a child of God which is sound and vibration.
@@truthministries77 Because Yeshua had already been on the cross of human suffering for well nigh 30 years. The gospels are relating the story of the awakening of the "christ" in a person. Neville Goddard explains it. I also listen to Stuart Wilde, he's not religious, just very heavy duty spiritual. He knows how to really love people by healing and helping them on the street level where they are.
🤍 The world doesn't realize that leaders of spirituality are only here to illuminate others of their Divinity not control. Thi is a huge problem as we have been bound to various natural laws as opposed to those of Heaven. It's time for a mass awakening and for us to come alive as children of God of Spirit and Truth.
@Universoul7 I see countless fallacies in the power over others type of people who forced their invisible invention on others, usually by the edge of a sword. I worship clear mental health, and I see all the characters and political cartoons of all the "holy" books as untreated mental patients. No evidence of divinity has ever been presented to me. I'm an HFA neuro divergent individual who feels the world majority live in a labyrinth of lies.
From Belgian, with great respect for Francesca Staverrakopoulou: in previous centuries in Europe, the rich said to the church (that provided the education): We will support you, the church, if you keep the people first of all dumb and also afraid (of hell, God and so on), and we will keep them poor. This way we will be and stay in power.
This is some great research....any religion without male and female symbols doesn't make sense...this is why I admire many Hindu concepts of the Divine...after all, what we believe is a reflection of ourselves
The attempt of equality of the sexes by political polices has breed nothing but mis-trust and even hatred , a great sin has been committed by erasing the Spiritual Feminine Devine .
I wandered back into Christian podcasts. There I found the lectures, speakers were blocking me. I could not connect to source, it was telling me if I dare pick up the connection, I was plugging into the Devil! I listen to tarot readings a lot, I do Wicca spells, I talk to the trees, bats, Badgers, birds, all animal life. When I see a person wishing to stand in their truth as non-binary, or a female in a man's body I see them as courageous, honest. They are not living a lie, so they stand out. I praise them who follow their own beat. Christianity is homophobic, it controls females, silencing the women, putting her behind, beneath the superior male dominance. This is fear, we are a threat! It judges, separates, condemns, instills fear, blames, heavy with guilt, making lives small, unlived. This God does not love, it makes you wrong, a sinner, obedient to fear! I say true Divine source does not want us to be small, hiding, unseen. It wants expression, adventure, exploration, daring to go after the heart. To follow courage, strength, align to your calling,to keep reinventing, not remaining the same, growth!
You simply found the real "Jesus". Same here. People are blind it seems. They either are afraid to see or cannot for some reason. I've really been trying to figure it out. The entire struggle with "transgenders" or homosexuals is also sad. It is many times a spirit however. I'd read that the transgenders are souls who were abused in previous lives coming back to rectify things, to straighten society hopefully. Humanity will win in the end, and the fight is full on now.
After many years of personal religious research, (mostly Judeo-Christian), I've learned more about the influence of religion, on our present organization of society, than I have ever realized, in the past. Thank you.
Santos Bonacci speaks of an ancient theology… a teaching of Hermetic Astro theology before the takeover of monotheism. Where astrology was more in tune with the calendar cycles with human life on earth, our solar system, and the universe. The masculine and feminine in each of us in the spiritual sense. The sun and moon in the astrological sense. Some might also relate what Tesla said about energy, frequency, vibration or the teachings of Manly P Hall?
Druidry has a lot to do with cycles of earth. I just began my journey into it very recently. I also believe that gnosticism has survived is practiced under certain Church's.
Years of historical OT studies show the validity of these remarks regarding the development of the development of monothestic Israelite religion. The impact on the traditions like Christianity and Islam is incredible to say the least.
I have felt that there is something else besides going to church and listening to priests and pastors say the same old thing...as a teenager I could recite the whole liturgy for I was an alter boy and memorized everything the pries said.... after 60 years I AM waking up......Its never too late to wake up from a day mare
But GOD isn't distant or intangible, IT dwells within each of us and the only thing stopping one from knowing THAT, is our own choices.. The Kingdom of Heaven is within, love GOD, neighbour, self, and seek THAT divine nature that is our birth right.

@neilwarren4573 All you offer is wishful thinking and word salad, you could say the same for any god and it would be no different. You seem deluded and confused and make stuff up as you go along.
The bible is a coded text, and can only be understood by having certain keys. If you approach it as a 'history book' using a literal interpretation, you will never gain the meaning. It is also layered with information. I could go on and on about how it's constructed and why, but it's lost on most people since their perception is so tainted with religious dogma and incorrect ideas. It is profuse with spiritual concepts and wisdom, most occultists are well aware of the many secrets in the books.
Exoteric vs. Esoteric. Only the awakened can see the other side of the Bible. It’s a metaphysical book that shows one how to pray correctly, how to manifest abundance and how to speak to the Universe using the correct tense. It’s also equipped with strict instructions on how to govern yourself to avoid suffering by way of the law of cause and effect. There are many universal laws that are being abused ignorantly today. Mind your energy. It creates wanted or unwanted events in your life.
Strong decrement and intuition is needed with the current Bible to know what is true and what is not. And even then, often what is true is written in riddles to sway from the truth. It's like someone was forced to tell the truth but didn't really want to so out of spite. made it difficult to decipher, allowing for misinterpretation and mistranslation. But still, what truth it does contain is only a piece of the whole truth. I'd really recommend reviewing the deleted books that were cut out because they contradict someones contol narrative, like the books of Thomas and Mary Magdalen. The fact that Mary had her own book, proves she was not a prostitute like social norm narrative says. But one of his disciples that was also told much more than the other 12. Suggesting that he may seen her as his equal. Ethiopian Bible is the most complete untouched version in existence today. Great video thank you.
The bible was written as it was to convey spiritual truths and knowledge. If you know how to read it, it fits together. The NT with it's "gospels" are also relating truths which really are only understood with someone with secret knowledge explaining it. Edgar Cayce says the bible is "a diagram of the human soul" starting at the feet with Genesis, ending at the skull with Revelation. With the bible, you really must take it very, very slow, having a Greek and Hebrew concordance beside it.
I've been endlessly fascinated with the Bible since I finally read it a decade or so ago. I don't believe it is "God's Word" in the way churches teach, but the prophecies add up to explain what the real New Age is, with warnings about the false one, which seem quite relevant to our time. And Jesus' teachings are far superior to any other spiritual teachings I've ever come across - they really cut deep - I am convinced he is the real deal, and it is very foolish to cast his sayings and prophecies aside.
@@vgnwlf We all have a spark of the divine inside us, so we may wonder why such a book would appear. I've heard it was "written and compiled by men, albeit men with divinized minds." It's a subject that really rankles me, the biblical literalists are especially irritating. They're convinced beyond doubt it's the "word of God", when such a statement can actually mean several things.
Thank you Professor Francesca Stavrakopoulou, thank you for your wisdom, and immense knowledge in enlightening us on this subject. I am also very sorry for the awful things some theists have said about you, including the threats you have received, it’s disgusting ! But why am I not surprised by some of actions of those brainwashed religious extremists ?! Please keep up your amazing work, but above all please stay safe. Thank You !
I really appreciate that your videos are twice as long as before! I get into such a meditative mode, letting it play in the background that I get bummed out after it ends. Thank you so much! Btw, I really enjoy the background music. It helps elevate my senses. 😊
Thanks for presenting her thesis. If forces me to think more deeply on what I have come to believe: This is a complex twisted issue. Gregg Braden, Paul Wallis and others describe it conversely---where the " human" god was actually a lower entity that pulled away from the One Source and created the means for control through fear of Yahweh. The Gnostic texts/Dead Sea scrolls and actual words of Jesus the Christ explain how man can access God on a personal level without need for and intermediary, providing individuals sovereignty and liberation. The mystics of all great religions also provide teachings for this, as it is under One Universal God who is not limited to Christianity. One just needs to go past what the Church teachings provide and seek deeper knowledge and wisdom.
Wow ! Some great thinking ! Francesca is definitely my favorite regarding religious explanations . I saw her in some documentaries couple of years ago . She should be a global teacher. My only problem is that music. To me it is annoying.
Love is the antidote for power, if you love you will never crave for power. The need for power suggests that you are afraid of its lack. Don’t you think?
This suggests that you can never ever be wrong and no one can disagree with you. Start first with logic and reason, and do not make your feelings the topic of discussion, rather the evidence, the data, and the observable, sadly most people just want to be King And therein lies the curse

@@DreamMonster7X Yes correct because the early Roman Catholic church wanted you to think you only have One Life to “get it right “ and therefore needed to follow the teachings and be controlled by the priests and elders .

One commenter posited Constantine gathered all spirits leaders of the city to help assemble the book and create his State religion. Some passages in the Bible definitely reflect this conclusion.
It definitely took men familiar with the jewish books and their meanings (also Kabbalah/Zohar). The books have a deeper meaning than what is understood on the surface. Whoever assembled them knew far more than the normal priest. There are also only 66 books, which is again possibly symbolic of another agenda of limiting or focusing knowledge in a certain direction.

Yes the book of Enoch tells a whole different story of how Eve was created and she didn’t come from a man’s rib she came from the light aka the sun ☀️ and was created to be Adam counterpart not his helpmate they were equal with different attributes that complement each other. Now I realize the Bible is a psychological book about the human mind , body , spirit and human behavior and how we need balance
I'd read that 'Adam and Eve' represent the introduction of the androgynous being into duality, the splitting into "male and female" of one being. Mary and Jesus were counterparts, Jesus often had her speak in their public gatherings, he placed her as an important figure. She is on the "same level' as he, they were both working together. I suppose this may be why the priesthood sought so hard to suppresss the feminine, I've yet to understand how this has held on for so long, along with other ills.
Jesus would rather die needlessly, looking for 2 sheep that ran away, but doesn't care about the 99 obedient ones who stayed in the pen. Also, he hates dogs, so he doesn't have the benefit of a useful sheep-dog. Jesus is a lamb with 7 horns & 7 eyes. I think his voice goes "baaah."
I don't even think there was a Jesus. No evidence for gods or demigods or satan's or hell's or even afterlife. The afterlife means Death. We are a part of the Earth and Universe. We die here like everything else.
It may be true but it refers to the Natural Laws in subtle ways, which are Law of Vibration etc but it has to be consciously decoded using these Laws, for freedom, unfortunately it has been used to manipulate the uninitiated in the mysteries of how The Natural Laws are the Dynamics of Consciousness. This knowledge can be used to either enlighten or enslave. We are entering a New Age where we can use this knowledge with wisdom and understanding or not.
The practice of religion in itself calls for a misdirection of looking to an external source for that which lies within, Constantine self appointed pope and roman emperor must have been a wolf in sheeps clothing while assembeling a bible while in the midst of presecuting and killing the essenes, mystics promoting the direct experience of ONE. Yeshua , Joseph and Mary followed the Essene practises. Yeshua (Christ Michael) directed Thoth to bring forth the teachings of Atlantis to Alaxandria so that The Child Son of Man would be exposed to the truth. Constantine and the Dark agenda of Lucifer destroyed the Library at Alaxandria and the ancient works stored there including The volumes Enoch was instructed to write before his trancendence and transmutation into LIGHT
The Christ reestablished that personal and intimate relationship with God. But the patriarchy reasserted itself by removing Gospel of Mary Magdalene, the Gospel of Thomas, Phillip, Bartholomew, and Sophia of Jesus Christ.
No he didn't he was just another sub cult or man-made religious nonsense. This cult was in the right place and time to survive, then grew into a large powerful criminal organization.
re: _"The Christ reestablished that personal and intimate relationship with God. But the patriarchy reasserted itself by removing Gospel of Mary Magdalene, the Gospel of Thomas, Phillip, Bartholomew, and Sophia of Jesus Christ."_ I'd just like to comment on this, on a factual basis: The 'gospels' of Mary Magdalene, Thomas, Phillip, Bartholomew, Sophia and others not mentioned here, are known as Gnostic writings which were not written by the people whose names are attached to them, because they were written from the 2nd century when these named people had long died (ie, they are strictly speaking, fraudulent). They are known by academics as pseudonymous writings because the author is not who he/she claimed to be. The only possible exception to these is the gospel of Thomas, which may date from the late 1st century, which contains a list of Jesus's sayings, almost all of which are found in the 4 gospels of the Bible we now have. However, even this gospel contains the unmistakeable Gnostic element, which disqualifies it from being of the standard required for a 'gospel'. It is also not a 'biography', but instead a list of sayings. There are good reasons why these writings were never accepted as authentic gospels and why we have the 4 in our current Bibles. It is not due to some sort of 'conspiracy' against the true gospels, as is today a popular common belief. To understand why this is, you do really have to be someone who has studied this subject.
@@theonlyway5298 No Gospel is the "True Gospel" it is all fiction. What we have now is just what survived as popular, also they have been manipulated, copied, translated, interpolated and massaged to suit a preferred theology. The oldest we have are from 4th century, So no originals. What should raise a red flag is that there were so many stories and variations, as if it developed as a fictional story and folklore.
Then what about the pastoral letters of Paul which were in no way written by Paul and come from the 2nd century, that is the Timothy letters and Titus. Frankly, the gnostics and mystics were closer to the truth of Jesus teachings than the Roman church that instituted a political hierarchy in the name of religion.
I absolutely agree with pretty much all of this... the fact is, the Bible is a collective work that borrowed from numerous ancient texts... Constantine consolidated the numerous texts down into a single doctrine with a whole lot of errors, which were later altered again and again, but the fact remains that back then, there was no separation of church and state.... and so Constantine capitalized on selling this consolidated religion to the masses. Most of the "old" pagan ways of worshipping or celebrating the equinoxes were simply incorporated into the "new" triune, and this monotheistic trinity became acceptable to the ppls who wanted to stay true to their "pagan" ways as well as the the new Christian ways... I could go on for hours, but I won't. YHWH as well as the rest of the Elohim (powerful ones), were all flesh and blood characters with highly advanced technological devices that made them appear to be great powerful beings, they were later made into 1, technically 2, or several in all actuality, but most ppl can't seem to see them as separate, but they were different ppl... Anyway, this is a great video. I wish everyone had to listen with an open mind. Bless you, my friend
I wish I could connect somehow with Francesca. I'm pretty sure she is at this point; my favorite woman in the world. Coming from an a little, old homo; that's saying a lot for her. Even though I may never meet her; she has taught me more than anyone else; concerning the Bible. I have a very different and far more liberating view about all ancient texts now. I look at everything through a whole new set of eyes now.

@nursekim309 Her approach to studying the Bible was flawed. Now, she's going to tell everyone about how her flawed interpretation ruined her faith. Epic waste of time!
Religion has ruined so many peoples lives with lies and over exaggerated promises. I have done research and found the bible was written by Constantine in the 5th century to help the Roman’s insert fear into the people so they can be controlled. More so I have discovered stone tablets with the same stories written on them from the bible only dated 2 thousand year before religions. Same stories but without words like god, Satan, hell or heaven etc. these were added by the Vatican later to help their lies. People need to stop giving power to these evil people and their religions. More people have perish died murdered and killed over the names of silly gods than in any other cause on this planet 🌎 Wake up people. Look inside you. There is no god no Satan no hell no heaven there is ONLY energy and vibration.
But we live swamped and surrounded by those who claim its true and want to force it on everyone or start religious wars. Important to understand why and where such criminality begins.
They're wrong about Yahweh, Yahweh, is not God Yahweh, is a false guard. The true ultimate power is outside of time's space and matter. God cant be touched or seen by us even if we were dead. Because we are God exp itself.

IF YOU AGREE COMMENT: “It Makes Sense To Me”
❤
It makes sense to me. How many times has the Bible been translated... and re-translated... and re-re-translated? Doesn't take much for 'mistakes' to creep in, intentionally or otherwise. The Bible began as a spiritual guide (first mention) but has become a manipulative tool (second mention).
Why was Asherah erased? Because men feared women's power and wanted to take it away, have all the power for themselves. I'm not saying that a matrifocal society would necessarily be any better than what we have now, but why has nobody in so-called civilised society given it a try? Because men think they're superior.
Wrong. Men and women are different, but equal.
It makes Sense To Me. Much absorption has led me to similar conclusions prior to hearing this. People made The Bible. No wonder Mohammed dictated the Koran. There was so much confusion. One teacher made it even simpler.
@@Wisest-Quotes Very sad how much disrespect and wrong guidance in this kind of podcast.
Anyways they invited you to forget about them and come and join their beliefs.
Funny!
I was a Christian for over 50 years until I grew up by reading Greek ,Sumerian and Egyptian mythology and saw how the Bible literally copied it
Just because a story is older does not mean that it is not the counterfeit version.
Do you dare this, with all honesty: ask Jesus if He is actually God and tell Him you will surrender to Him if He is actually God.
@@rsempel1 God is immortal so he couldn't die for your sins if he wanted to. Scripture is quite clear that Jesus was his first creation, his only begotten son. Michael the Archangel.
Instead of saying they copied it, it could also be said that Christianity "is" a continuation of them. Religion is an evolving process that changes more in some periods than others. In today's world of rapid worldwide communication religion is undergoing major changes.
Yes.

Me too, about the same age. Attended church and sunday school for years and my analysis of the church was that it was basically a power structure. The ethics and laws are good but why do they have to include the religious part, power structure and money. Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the same god but in slightly different ways, why? Power structure is the obvious answer.
@banjoebaby Yeah that's no burn genius. Try harder.
After 30 years of Christian evangelical fundamentalism, watching an interview with Prof Stavrakopoulou on Mythvision channel was the 1st step to me waking up. I didn’t want what she said to be true, and I ordered her book to understand more and maybe try to debunk it. I simultaneously laughed & cried: humour in seeing the origins of what I personally held so dear but couldn’t objectively see due to these feelings, and sorrow akin to mourning on the death of your most beloved.
However I am hugely grateful to her for her scholarship and witty style, being able to laugh as “penny drop moments” hit me between the eyes was helpful in mitigating the discomforting revelations.. but the logical shocks were just enough to jolt me awake, and what I could see I couldn’t unsee.
The clip of Prof Stavrakopoulou describing the threats she’s received was awful, but demonstrate the poisonous affect religion can have (weak-men misogynistic violence cowardly hides behind holy religiosity as “justification”). One of the sources of cognitive dissonance for me over many years was how “worldly” ppl were so much nicer to be around than church “family” who had the God the Holy Spirit supposedly living right inside them lol.
As I say, I owe Dr Stavrakopoulou a great debt for her work & skillful communication of that research to popularise it in society. And I’m glad I didn’t “wimp out” on reading the book, I smile at every copy I see and wish it Godspeed into someone’s hands, a book truly worthy of being evangelical about 😅❤!
Jesus Christ and the Bible is true. Our humanness can't understand God or his word it can only be revealed through the holy Spirit of God or the 3rd party of the Godhead. Based on the Bible and God of she can convince you Christ isn't God than it's likely you were never a saved Christian to begin with. The only unforgivable sin is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit of God. Meaning if we deny revelation from the holy Spirit it's a blatant act of rejection.
I'll pray for the holy Spirit to come into you heart and reveal the truth and remove the scales from your eyes
@calanm7880
Well done and I'm glad you found your way out of bible jail ..rational clear and healthy thinking and an increase in evidence should bring believers closer to their beliefs and their chosen God ...however it does the opposite ..and many like yourself are waking up and becoming all they were meant to be again ..

Stories are the best way to hold a message. Though it can change a little here and there through time passing, the real message generally remains the same.
This is true. I recommend an excellent book on this subject by Joseph Campbell, called 'The Power of Myth'. It will illuminate the subconscious and the Jungian archetypes that inspire the shared stories of humanity. Curiously, Campbells studies affirmed his catholic faith which I found bizarre. His book 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces' was the inspiration for the movie 'Star Wars'. Fascinating topic..

This is what made Jesus such a threat. He taught about a personal divine connection that didn’t need religious/political authorities. So they killed him and his life and message were co-opted by the Roman Empire and turned into the very thing he hated. If he returned today, he would fight the power structures of Christianity and would be labeled a heretic once again.
He would be a fraud. Political cartoons don't become human. Christians would fight over who he belonged to. Governments would shoot him down as some ufo or alien.

Just switch religions & find a god (or goddess) you like better. People have tried. Most people like the ones that say "be good to yourself," or like Jesus, "Be excellent to each other." Good luck. Life is pain. God is just an explanation for all that pain.

In 1963, a Greek Catholic priest named Isa Rashid, along with his Swiss friend Billy Eduard Albert Meier, discovered a small cave on the slope of a hill in Jerusalem. They found ancient scrolls wrapped in animal skin and encased in dry resin. The scrolls contained a 2000-year-old biographical narrative of a man named Jmmanuel, who taught about the true nature of the universe, the immortality of the human spirit through reincarnation, and a life free from the constraints of human greed and lust for power. Isa Rashid translated 36 chapters of the scrolls from Aramaic to German, but he and his family were later assassinated. However, before his death, he sent the translated chapters to his friend in Switzerland, who assembled them into the book "The Talmud Jmmanuel." This book contains the unedited original versions of Mark1-23 and sheds light on why the story didn't gain widespread attention. The discovery of the scrolls and their precise location in 1963 is indeed remarkable.
I came across Meier's discovery a year or two ago. I've been studying the subject for years, looking for secret knowledge and the truth that the churches seem to be pointing toward, but are afraid of losing their control over people. It's time for this knowledge to be widespread.
I thought the Talmud was a book about Jewish supremacy

Worshiping Jesus on the cross is sign of each worshiper that keeps nailing their own heart day in day out and waiting for someone else to stop it rather then stopping it by themselves
The fact that the Goddess Asherah could be just erased because the worship of her was a complication and a threat to the power that leaders wanted. It tells me that how those at the top of society knew the whole idea of divine gods was just a huge ruse and a very useful tool to control and manipulate those poor, ignorant, souls beneath them.
The first time I ever heard the "God of Judaism" states he was a "jealous God", I knew everything about it was wrong.
God is never jealous, He never envies anyone.
I think that jealousy is about on things that people turn in their god/s insted of looking inside of them and look for the true God, the absolute
Exodus 20:5 - Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
How can a God be jealous if he’s the only one. Jealous of what or who. How? Don’t make bit of sense. When humans created a god they gave them human traits.
I thought they we're talking about my stepfather.
Paul Wallis and Mauro Biglino, the chief hebrew translator for the Vatican's schools, see the OT as a manipulated text. They say the term "YHWH" or Yahweh, is not a hebrew word,and scholars have never identified it's etymology. It was inserted into the text over the many references to the various elohim, creating a narrative of a monotheistic 'god' ruling over the "israelites". there is so much more to this, that there is not room enough to explain. Conor Macdari also goes into the fact that most of the words in the bible are clearly of Irish origin, he states it is an Irish book - clearly. So there is definitely some major manipulation going on which has been hidden. The original hebrew of the first chapter of Genesis also speaks of: "Father Light, Son of Man, El the Mother, Morning Star and the light men". It never speaks in the sense of a "trinity" and does not exclude the feminine in the godhead, as the priesthood has done. The current ideas formed by this very old patriarchal narrative must be done away with, why people have not seen though this is astonishing.
Paul Wallace and Billy Carson are sharing facts. They say yeshua was not crucified and his message was not to follow evil yahway posing as a god as Yeshuas annunaki family had been doing as well. And that everything is a child of God which is sound and vibration.

This way we will be and stay in power.

This is some great research....any religion without male and female symbols doesn't make sense...this is why I admire many Hindu concepts of the Divine...after all, what we believe is a reflection of ourselves

I wandered back into Christian podcasts. There I found the lectures, speakers were blocking me. I could not connect to source, it was telling me if I dare pick up the connection, I was plugging into the Devil!

When I see a person wishing to stand in their truth as non-binary, or a female in a man's body I see them as courageous, honest. They are not living a lie, so they stand out. I praise them who follow their own beat.
Christianity is homophobic, it controls females, silencing the women, putting her behind, beneath the superior male dominance. This is fear, we are a threat!
It judges, separates, condemns, instills fear, blames, heavy with guilt, making lives small, unlived. This God does not love, it makes you wrong, a sinner, obedient to fear!
I say true Divine source does not want us to be small, hiding, unseen. It wants expression, adventure, exploration, daring to go after the heart. To follow courage, strength, align to your calling,to keep reinventing, not remaining the same, growth!
You simply found the real "Jesus". Same here. People are blind it seems. They either are afraid to see or cannot for some reason. I've really been trying to figure it out. The entire struggle with "transgenders" or homosexuals is also sad. It is many times a spirit however. I'd read that the transgenders are souls who were abused in previous lives coming back to rectify things, to straighten society hopefully. Humanity will win in the end, and the fight is full on now.

Santos Bonacci speaks of an ancient theology… a teaching of Hermetic Astro theology before the takeover of monotheism. Where astrology was more in tune with the calendar cycles with human life on earth, our solar system, and the universe. The masculine and feminine in each of us in the spiritual sense. The sun and moon in the astrological sense. Some might also relate what Tesla said about energy, frequency, vibration or the teachings of Manly P Hall?

The bible is a coded text, and can only be understood by having certain keys. If you approach it as a 'history book' using a literal interpretation, you will never gain the meaning. It is also layered with information.

It is profuse with spiritual concepts and wisdom, most occultists are well aware of the many secrets in the books.

Read just the first 3 chapters of 'Earths Earliest Ages' by G.H. Pember
Exoteric vs. Esoteric. Only the awakened can see the other side of the Bible. It’s a metaphysical book that shows one how to pray correctly, how to manifest abundance and how to speak to the Universe using the correct tense. It’s also equipped with strict instructions on how to govern yourself to avoid suffering by way of the law of cause and effect. There are many universal laws that are being abused ignorantly today. Mind your energy. It creates wanted or unwanted events in your life.
Strong decrement and intuition is needed with the current Bible to know what is true and what is not. And even then, often what is true is written in riddles to sway from the truth. It's like someone was forced to tell the truth but didn't really want to so out of spite. made it difficult to decipher, allowing for misinterpretation and mistranslation. But still, what truth it does contain is only a piece of the whole truth. I'd really recommend reviewing the deleted books that were cut out because they contradict someones contol narrative, like the books of Thomas and Mary Magdalen. The fact that Mary had her own book, proves she was not a prostitute like social norm narrative says. But one of his disciples that was also told much more than the other 12. Suggesting that he may seen her as his equal. Ethiopian Bible is the most complete untouched version in existence today. Great video thank you.
The bible was written as it was to convey spiritual truths and knowledge. If you know how to read it, it fits together. The NT with it's "gospels" are also relating truths which really are only understood with someone with secret knowledge explaining it. Edgar Cayce says the bible is "a diagram of the human soul" starting at the feet with Genesis, ending at the skull with Revelation. With the bible, you really must take it very, very slow, having a Greek and Hebrew concordance beside it.

I've been endlessly fascinated with the Bible since I finally read it a decade or so ago. I don't believe it is "God's Word" in the way churches teach, but the prophecies add up to explain what the real New Age is, with warnings about the false one, which seem quite relevant to our time. And Jesus' teachings are far superior to any other spiritual teachings I've ever come across - they really cut deep - I am convinced he is the real deal, and it is very foolish to cast his sayings and prophecies aside.
@@vgnwlf We all have a spark of the divine inside us, so we may wonder why such a book would appear. I've heard it was "written and compiled by men, albeit men with divinized minds."

They're convinced beyond doubt it's the "word of God", when such a statement can actually mean several things.

This makes sense to me. Thank you.
Thanks for presenting her thesis. If forces me to think more deeply on what I have come to believe: This is a complex twisted issue. Gregg Braden, Paul Wallis and others describe it conversely---where the " human" god was actually a lower entity that pulled away from the One Source and created the means for control through fear of Yahweh. The Gnostic texts/Dead Sea scrolls and actual words of Jesus the Christ explain how man can access God on a personal level without need for and intermediary, providing individuals sovereignty and liberation. The mystics of all great religions also provide teachings for this, as it is under One Universal God who is not limited to Christianity. One just needs to go past what the Church teachings provide and seek deeper knowledge and wisdom.

And therein lies the curse
@@Uncanny_Mountain Exactly. It's ridiculous how soft this dude is. I believe the opposite is true. Since he perceives people's disagreements as attacks, he is the one that will be wrong forever, and ever because a poor bruised ego is more important than realtime growth and understanding everytime!
@ you’re wrong because you can’t control yourself, which means you’re out of line and out of control automatically stepping out of the bounds of being able to express yourself without a aggression. The aggression is where you go wrong every time you will lose every battle with the other person just by being aggressive, no one will listen or respect you.
I love Francesca Stavrakopoulou insight and her books.Wonderful video.
The Transition from a Corporeal God to a Abstract God
Is in Reality an Transition from the Corporeal Matriarchal Goddess Era
To the Abstract Patriarchal God Era
It makes sense to me, thank you for your work.
Wow! Thank you!
Wise insights presented in a beutiful voice
Mother Nature Father Sky were always our teacher
Thank you, nice and beautiful session.
A superb explanation. Thank you.
Yes, the music is super annoying
Not really. It is fine.
Some people get annoyed very easily.
It gives a sense of an immense hurry to real or lies or realise
Thank you.
Remember,
They hated him first.
Godspeed
Christ is KING
The flavians were the ones who created this texts
Yup! They left out reincarnation for a good reason.
@@DreamMonster7X Yes correct because the early Roman Catholic church wanted you to think you only have One Life to “get it right “ and therefore needed to follow the teachings and be controlled by the priests and elders . Jesus himself was reincarnated as are we all . This is also why they came up with concepts such as hell and original sin … all for control
One commenter posited Constantine gathered all spirits leaders of the city to help assemble the book and create his State religion. Some passages in the Bible definitely reflect this conclusion.
It definitely took men familiar with the jewish books and their meanings (also Kabbalah/Zohar). The books have a deeper meaning than what is understood on the surface. Whoever assembled them knew far more than the normal priest. There are also only 66 books, which is again possibly symbolic of another agenda of limiting or focusing knowledge in a certain direction.
Yes the book of Enoch tells a whole different story of how Eve was created and she didn’t come from a man’s rib she came from the light aka the sun ☀️ and was created to be Adam counterpart not his helpmate they were equal with different attributes that complement each other. Now I realize the Bible is a psychological book about the human mind , body , spirit and human behavior and how we need balance
I'd read that 'Adam and Eve' represent the introduction of the androgynous being into duality, the splitting into "male and female" of one being. Mary and Jesus were counterparts, Jesus often had her speak in their public gatherings, he placed her as an important figure. She is on the "same level' as he, they were both working together. I suppose this may be why the priesthood sought so hard to suppresss the feminine, I've yet to understand how this has held on for so long, along with other ills.
66 books is the Protestant Bible. The most complete is the Ethiopian Bible which is 81 books.
Jesus said my sheep hear my voice. I dont hear it here through you.
Jesus would rather die needlessly, looking for 2 sheep that ran away, but doesn't care about the 99 obedient ones who stayed in the pen. Also, he hates dogs, so he doesn't have the benefit of a useful sheep-dog. Jesus is a lamb with 7 horns & 7 eyes. I think his voice goes "baaah."
I don't even think there was a Jesus. No evidence for gods or demigods or satan's or hell's or even afterlife. The afterlife means Death. We are a part of the Earth and Universe. We die here like everything else.
It may be true but it refers to the Natural Laws in subtle ways, which are Law of Vibration etc but it has to be consciously decoded using these Laws, for freedom, unfortunately it has been used to manipulate the uninitiated in the mysteries of how The Natural Laws are the Dynamics of Consciousness. This knowledge can be used to either enlighten or enslave. We are entering a New Age where we can use this knowledge with wisdom and understanding or not.
The practice of religion in itself calls for a misdirection of looking to an external source for that which lies within, Constantine self appointed pope and roman emperor must have been a wolf in sheeps clothing while assembeling a bible while in the midst of presecuting and killing the essenes, mystics promoting the direct experience of ONE. Yeshua , Joseph and Mary followed the Essene practises. Yeshua (Christ Michael) directed Thoth to bring forth the teachings of Atlantis to Alaxandria so that The Child Son of Man would be exposed to the truth. Constantine and the Dark agenda of Lucifer destroyed the Library at Alaxandria and the ancient works stored there including The volumes Enoch was instructed to write before his trancendence and transmutation into LIGHT

The Christ reestablished that personal and intimate relationship with God. But the patriarchy reasserted itself by removing Gospel of Mary Magdalene, the Gospel of Thomas, Phillip, Bartholomew, and Sophia of Jesus Christ.
No he didn't he was just another sub cult or man-made religious nonsense. This cult was in the right place and time to survive, then grew into a large powerful criminal organization.
re: _"The Christ reestablished that personal and intimate relationship with God. But the patriarchy reasserted itself by removing Gospel of Mary Magdalene, the Gospel of Thomas, Phillip, Bartholomew, and Sophia of Jesus Christ."_
I'd just like to comment on this, on a factual basis: The 'gospels' of Mary Magdalene, Thomas, Phillip, Bartholomew, Sophia and others not mentioned here, are known as Gnostic writings which were not written by the people whose names are attached to them, because they were written from the 2nd century when these named people had long died (ie, they are strictly speaking, fraudulent). They are known by academics as pseudonymous writings because the author is not who he/she claimed to be. The only possible exception to these is the gospel of Thomas, which may date from the late 1st century, which contains a list of Jesus's sayings, almost all of which are found in the 4 gospels of the Bible we now have. However, even this gospel contains the unmistakeable Gnostic element, which disqualifies it from being of the standard required for a 'gospel'. It is also not a 'biography', but instead a list of sayings.
There are good reasons why these writings were never accepted as authentic gospels and why we have the 4 in our current Bibles. It is not due to some sort of 'conspiracy' against the true gospels, as is today a popular common belief. To understand why this is, you do really have to be someone who has studied this subject.
@@theonlyway5298
No Gospel is the "True Gospel" it is all fiction. What we have now is just what survived as popular, also they have been manipulated, copied, translated, interpolated and massaged to suit a preferred theology. The oldest we have are from 4th century, So no originals.
What should raise a red flag is that there were so many stories and variations, as if it developed as a fictional story and folklore.
Then what about the pastoral letters of Paul which were in no way written by Paul and come from the 2nd century, that is the Timothy letters and Titus. Frankly, the gnostics and mystics were closer to the truth of Jesus teachings than the Roman church that instituted a political hierarchy in the name of religion.
Control. The sheep 🐑
Yup. Sheep don't think, they just follow.

@@kastenolsen9577 What about Asheera?
There's always someone with a new take on the Bible.
there is nothing new under the sun.
Very enlightening. The speaker answers my query why polytheism became monotheism. Thanks indeed.
I absolutely agree with pretty much all of this... the fact is, the Bible is a collective work that borrowed from numerous ancient texts... Constantine consolidated the numerous texts down into a single doctrine with a whole lot of errors, which were later altered again and again, but the fact remains that back then, there was no separation of church and state.... and so Constantine capitalized on selling this consolidated religion to the masses. Most of the "old" pagan ways of worshipping or celebrating the equinoxes were simply incorporated into the "new" triune, and this monotheistic trinity became acceptable to the ppls who wanted to stay true to their "pagan" ways as well as the the new Christian ways... I could go on for hours, but I won't. YHWH as well as the rest of the Elohim (powerful ones), were all flesh and blood characters with highly advanced technological devices that made them appear to be great powerful beings, they were later made into 1, technically 2, or several in all actuality, but most ppl can't seem to see them as separate, but they were different ppl...
Anyway, this is a great video.
I wish everyone had to listen with an open mind.
Bless you, my friend
I think you've been misled on all of this that you have written.
Excellent video wow thank you for this!
Excellent presentation
This lady is OUT OF THIS WORLD BRILLIANT !!!!!
I know she blessed! ❤
I can see...
I wish I could connect somehow with Francesca. I'm pretty sure she is at this point; my favorite woman in the world. Coming from an a little, old homo; that's saying a lot for her. Even though I may never meet her; she has taught me more than anyone else; concerning the Bible. I have a very different and far more liberating view about all ancient texts now. I look at everything through a whole new set of eyes now.
Kabbalah perfectly decodes the Bible….period.
Gibberish seems popular amongst apologists.
@stultusvenator3233 ignorance seems prevalent amongst laymen
Gratitude 🙏🏾

Kinda the same, just the pyramid is akin to half of a toroidal/hypersphere.
Absolutely Not the Same

A Sphere is a Organic Structure Generated through Cooperation

If I were an atheist, the last thing I would waste my time on would be the Bible and Biblical issues.
@@The_Eternalist I think her studies of religion & the Bible are what made her an atheist.
You're projecting, and ignoring the block that Christian dogma has become to humanity due to exegesis, and fanaticism
@nursekim309 Her approach to studying the Bible was flawed. Now, she's going to tell everyone about how her flawed interpretation ruined her faith. Epic waste of time!
Religion has ruined so many peoples lives with lies and over exaggerated promises.
I have done research and found the bible was written by Constantine in the 5th century to help the Roman’s insert fear into the people so they can be controlled.
More so I have discovered stone tablets with the same stories written on them from the bible only dated 2 thousand year before religions. Same stories but without words like god, Satan, hell or heaven etc. these were added by the Vatican later to help their lies.
People need to stop giving power to these evil people and their religions.
More people have perish died murdered and killed over the names of silly gods than in any other cause on this planet 🌎
Wake up people. Look inside you. There is no god no Satan no hell no heaven there is ONLY energy and vibration.
But we live swamped and surrounded by those who claim its true and want to force it on everyone or start religious wars. Important to understand why and where such criminality begins.
Beautiful presentation and great points made that I resonate with.
I really appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to know that the points I made resonate with you.
Religion,politics, medical, they have one thing in common,,,,,,,,,,DIVIDE AND RULE!
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE COMMENTS.
They're wrong about Yahweh, Yahweh, is not God Yahweh, is a false guard. The true ultimate power is outside of time's space and matter. God cant be touched or seen by us even if we were dead. Because we are God exp itself.
YHWH is Satan.
I felt his power of the LIGHT sending my eyes stream then see Holy spirit beside sister mary missionary same one Michelangelo paintec in the Last judgment behind Spanish armada helmet bottom right lifting the dead ... GOD Very Real but we are exp as in gods Children
Yahweh is a lesser deity of Israelites. Tribal, jingoistic and bloodthirsty Demiurg. No wonder the Jews like him😮
