Was Peter’s Confession of Jesus in Mark Inspired by Satan?

In my on-line course on Mark I try to carefully cover some of the features that make this earliest and first “story of Jesus” unique. The scene halfway through the book of Mark, in chapter 8, where Peter confesses Jesus as the “Christ,” is rebuked by Jesus as representing the…

How Christian Apologists Unintentionally DESTROY the Gospels

In this extended video interview with Derek Lambert most of Youtube channel MythVisionPodcast, we explore how well intentioned Christian apologists, thinking they “do God a service,” in fact end up DESTROYING the very New Testament Gospels they claim to honor and love. This lecture, along with the slides, is what I regularly…

Don’t Miss This One: Resurrection of the Dead is NOT Corpse Revival or Corpse Transformation!

Millions of believing Christians, as well as theologians and historians, are convinced that the earliest faith in Jesus’ resurrection had to do with the assertion that his dead body was revived in a tomb–and that he walked out of that tomb on the third day after his death, as a…
