The History Of Religions and their Gods!

Is Christianity successful because it's the one true religion? Is it's success because of God's actions? Or is it something entirely else? This episode examines what went right and what went wrong that could have stopped the movement in it's tracks. Was it divine action or a series of events that were just simply dumb luck? Based on my new Book "On the Origins of YHWH: The Gods | The Wars | The Me...

This episode is a breakdown of the 4th and final gospel known as John. It was written around the mid to late 90s where this evangelist finds himself defending Christianity on all fronts from doubting gentiles and Jews, Gnostics and Docetic circles, and other interpretations of scripture as well.

The Gospel know as Luke is widely loved by Christians all around the world. But if you were to ask someone when it was written or where did this author get his sources, they might be a little confused. In this episode, I will look at the dating of this manuscript and exactly where he got his source information from. Would you be surprised to learn that this author borrowed from Homer, Jewish scrip...

In this episode, I discuss his book and film "The Case for Christ" and all of it's claims why everyone should come to Jesus. Are his claims valid, do they hold any water, or are they all just bad Apologetics?

In this episode, I am going through the Gospel account of Matthew to identify what changes he makes to his predecessor, Mark (ca. 75CE). We explore reasons for his alterations, changes and updates followed by where he found his sources.

Over Easter The Tall Friendly Atheist Dad and I got on a call and this is became of it. Tariffs, our deconversion, Job and the Devil and Old Jewish Man Titties. You'll have to listen to the end!

This episode is a brief run down of the events that were taking place in Judea during the early part of the first century when the Jewish Revolutionaries decided to engage in a war with the Roman Empire. The events of the war, the people involved and the locations seem to be reflected in The Gospel of Mark from a Christian perspective. If this is true, the this helps us place the earliest Gospel a...

Hello Heathens, in this episode we are going to analyze the myth of the resurrection. Happy Easter!

In this episode we analyze the story about the Great Escape out of Egypt as told in the Jewish Bible. But what do we really know about this event, and can history support the story or is it a mythical tale? I will take you through what we know about this event and what the leading scholars say about it. Did it happen, was there ever a mass exodus of people out of Egypt and did they conquer Canaan?...

In this episode we hop into our "time dune buggies" and head back to Jordan from Shechem near the Soleb Temple where we find the Deir Alla Inscriptions. Why is this site so important? Because it gives us a different meaning for "Shaddai" or "Shadday" as found in the Bible being paired with El (El Shaddai). In this 7th century inscription Shadday is a goddess who oversees the Sadayin Deities who we...

In this episode, I take you to the cultic site of Biblical Shechem where Abraham made his covenant with his Lord, Baal Berith. We will make a few discoveries that might just explain the condemnation of foreign gods, the Asherah and Baal.

Welcome to the first episode of season 8, The Mysteries of the Soleb Temple and the God of Israel. In this episode we do a deep dive at an ancient archeological site in the Sudan desert called the Soleb Temple. There is an inscription on a column there that just might link a nomadic tribe called the Shasu to the Israelite God, Yahweh. Interesting though that this inscription in non-theophoric and...

In this episode we take a deep look into the history of Kings that potentially ruled and were major influencers during the purported time of the Patriarchs in hope to discover which king could be the God of Israle

In this episode, "The Queen is Dead," is a reference to Asherah, the Queen mother / goddess of Israel/ Heaven. We complete the saga of the war of kings on Sodom and the dramatic escape of Abraham's nephew Lot. Did Abraham have other covenants with other kings that might have jeopardized the relationship with his Lord? Who was this Mechelzadek in Gen 14? Ultimately in this episode, is Abraham's son...

In the part of the story, Abraham's Lord negotiates the treaty with Abraham that will give him protection while monitoring the dangerous trade routes (The King's Highway) from bandits. This way the k8ng can safely send caravans from Babylonia to Egypt without interruption. Also, to seal the deal, Sarah must carry the King's seed so that his royal bloodline will be with Abraham's descendants for ge...

This episode is an interview with Bernard Lamborelle, the author of An Everlasting Quid Pro Quo, and the author of the topic for this season of the podcast.

In this episode, we explore the Sodom and Gomorrah story in the Bible but from a literal and secular standpoint. In this telling of the story, it's not Bible God who crashes down on the Sodomites, it's Abram's Lord who launches a full military attack in the small cities. Not because they were evil and just wanted to have gay sex, but because after 8 years, they refused to pay tribute to this Mesop...

In this episode, we pick up with Abraham, Sarah, and this anthropomorphic figure who would be Abraham's Lord. This is a literal interpretation of Genesis chapters 12 through 25, where we try to piece together the original redactor's intentions of the texts. It appears that in 90% of the story, this Lord is characterized as quite human and doing human like things that are very similar to other Meso...

In this episode we explore who and what the Beelzebub figure is in the Bible and how it was some of the earliest political mud slinging in history. We also talk much about tradrouts and how Abraham partnered with nomadic tribes to secure the land of milk and honey (Israel).

In this new episode, we will delve deep into scripture as well as extrabiblical evidence to understand the origins of the name that should never be spoken, not even by Jewish Rabbis. Where did the srangr Tetragrammaton YHWH originate from, and is it a truncated form of a much longer name or perhaps names. These are the topics that I will discuss in today's show. Enjoy! Sources are: Bernard Lambore...

This is the fourth installment on this series, "The Ancient Gods of Israel." Please be sure to listen to the first 3 episodes if you haven't already as it builds the case for our study. But in this episode, we study all the baals of Canaan, Phoenicia, Israel, and beyond. What, or perhaps, who were these baals and their divine manifestations? And why did the Biblical sources comdemn them after 1000...

The only difference between the name of the goddess, Asherah אשרה and Abraham's wife, Sarah שרה is the letter aleph א that assumes a leading position in the name of the goddess. In this episode, we will begin to take a closer look at the goddess Asherah before she was condemned to an idol. This series is based upon the following books: Mark Smith's "The early history of God and other Canaanite dei...

This is part 2 of The Ancient Gods of Israel mini series, where we analyze ancient texts to discover what the early people of Canaan and the nomadic people who occupied the hilly country adjacent to the neighboring Canaanites. What did they worship, who did they worship and why? In this episode we take a close look at the Ba'al and El deities within the Bible narrative itself, steles, and ancient...

Welcome to a brand new season and episode! This episode will be dedicated to surveying the ancient gods of Israel and its neighbors to how the God that we think of today as the creator of the entire universe came to be. Special thanks to Mark White and his book, "The early history of God" and Bernard Lamborelle and his books; "An everlasting quid pro quo", "The Covenant", and "To be done with Sodo...
