I'm shocked at Bart Ehrman's lack of scholarly appraisal, of why Saul taught that Isaiah 53 was fulfilled by Christ; it wasn't some random ideas made up by the Christians.

Also shocked at the lack of historical acknowledgement that the early Ebionite Church with James the Just, didn't teach that Christ came to die as a sin sacrifice, which is referenced at the start of the Book of Acts.

Paul rewrote the Gospel when he made up Christianity (Acts 11:25-26), and Simon joined him - who Yehoshua/Yeshua/Immanuel called "petros" to fulfil prophecy of the 'stumbling stone' (Zechariah 3:9, Isaiah 8:14), and that is where the Christian Church got their atonement ideas from.

In Matthew 15:1-9 & Mark 7:1-13 Yeshua is challenging the Sanhedrin for claiming that the prophets deaths counted for atonement (Matthew 23:27-38), and he said in the Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen that they'd do the same about him (Matthew 21:33-46, Mark 12:1-12, Luke 20:9-19).


I can't believe Bart also used a standard Christianized view point for Yeshua's usage of the word "Ransom", and doesn't use an academic standard citing the Biblical Laws & statements.

No one can pay God, and God doesn't accept Ransom (Psalms 49:7); so Yeshua wasn't claiming that "ransom" meant he was a human sacrifice, and especially not 'the First Born Son given for the sins of your transgressions' (Micah 6:6).

At the Last Supper the consensus in the Synoptic Gospels is Yeshua said "his blood will be spilled for many" - which it was; yet inserting that meant he was declaring he is a human sacrifice, is making him contradict the Hebraic legal standards.

I can understand that Bart Ehrman used to be a Christian, and so is still indoctrinated by John, Saul, & Simon petros's Pharisaic conclusions, yet it isn't a secular academic understanding of what is being stated, it is making it fit with Christendom.


Yeshua gives a clear itinerary of the eschatology in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21: first the 2nd temple destruction ("not when he came back"), then a time of the Exile among the Gentiles, then Judgement Day coming on the whole of mankind as Betelgeuse goes supernova, and after the Messianic Age - therefore it isn't failed prophecy, as it was all fulfilled back then; there are many things still to be fulfilled soon, as we will see as all Nations gather against Jerusalem.

The Holy Anointing Oil when made properly with Kaneh-Bosem (etymology of cannabis) heals many ailments, where Yeshua's laying on of hands, the early Ebionite Church (James 5:14), and the Disciples healed with it (Mark 6:13).

We know now from science that cannabis can help heal cancer, leprosy, epilepsy, menstrual stresses, etc, and many other things that were seen as demons back then.



The reference to placing Demons in the Swine is meant as a Parable, as the Gentiles (Uneducated Nations) were seen as Swine, and the Demons are removed at Judgement Day by being thrown into the Lake of Fire.


Having had a NDE at 21, that quantified for me that down in Hell there are not monsters, there are lost souls in the lower dimensions, who have lost track of the Oneness of Heaven, and are full of negative emotions (resentment, hatefulness, bitterness, anguish, slyness, animosity, murderousness, etc).

Heaven has the uplifting emotions of unconditional love, wisdom, truthfulness, honesty, kindness, harmony, etc.


Yeshua was sharing entheogens (Psychedelic Essene's Showbread & Holy Anointing Oil) as they make us use our Hypothalamus (higher consciousness), and can help us reconnect with God, rather than our animalistic Amygdala (mammalian consciousness).

Because the Babylonian Pharisees (John, Saul, Simon petros) rewrote the Gospel, the church was built upon Babylonian Debauchery instead of Enlightened Entheogens.

Though Edgar Cayce remembered being an Essene, not sure if he remembered the Messianic concepts of using entheogens to increase human intelligence & life span, as science is now rediscovering.


P.S James you could do with adding the links to the website & name references in the description, as I had to rewind a few times to realize the website is wisdm . io & to search Google to find the correct spelling for Shad Groverland.

Few go the extra mile - most go equal or opposite because they feel pushed, and with each reiteration the message becomes more convoluted.

When we want to move forward, first make sure we're heading in the right direction.
