The History Of Religions and their Gods!

The Skeptical Ghost Heathen

Based on my book On the Origins of YHWH: The Gods | The Wars | The Messiahs: On the Origins of YHWH: The Gods | The Wars | The Messiahs is a historical investigation into the evolution of one of history's most influential religious traditions. Drawing on archaeology, ancient inscriptions, biblical criticism, and the work of leading scholars, the book traces the development of Yahweh from his earliest appearances among the peoples of the ancient Near East through the rise of Israel, the Babylonian Exile, the Second Temple period, and ultimately to the emergence of Jesus and early Christianity.

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?

    #71 The Gospel of John and The Logos

    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.

    #70 Luke: 60 Years Later

    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 scripture and even Josephus to build stories for his accounts of Jesus

    #69 The Mysterious Case of Lee Strobel

    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?

    #66 The Final Sin of the Jews: According to the Gospel of Mark

    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.
