Dr. Gananath Obeyesekere, surveying tribal beliefs in rebirth & karma, notes they often lack a belief in hell. Immorality is punished *during* life on earth, meted out by tribe or cosmic forces, but rarely in an afterlife. Concepts of "sin" arise around the Axial Age

Jacques Vallee's journal entry on the Esalen 2024 conference mentions a whistleblower named "Jonathan Gray" who was brought by Leslie Kean. The "secretive whistleblower" mentioned on March 30th is likely the same individual. If this is correct, the information is discouraging
The mystery of who is Jonathan Grey (even less, relative to David Gursch) is up there with another elusive character (Tim Taylor aka Tyler from American Cosmic). However, with Grey, it sounds like we may have nefarious, gray areas to consider... Grey, in the 2023 Debrief article where Grusch came forward: “Though a tough nut to crack, potential technological advancements may be gleaned from non-human intelligence/UAP retrievals by any sufficiently advanced nation and then used to wage asymmetrical warfare, so, therefore, some secrecy must remain. However, it is no longer necessary to continue to deny that these advanced technologies derived from non-human intelligence exist at all or to deny that these technologies have landed, crashed, or fallen into the hands of human beings.” thedebrief.org/intelligence-…

Dr. Yonatan Adler has demonstrated that it's only from ~150 BCE onwards that we find Judeans practicing a set of dietary restrictions (!) Salafis do not realize the Jewish practices they appropriated and criticize us for are far younger than they have imagined @dawahxdialogues

Prof. Israel Finkelstein has just published this article in which he argues for a very late dating of certain Biblical texts. Some of this he has discussed before, but some of it (as far as I know) is quite new. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.🙂 Link to the open access article in the first comment.

Curiously the targum identify the first three Servant songs as an individual messiah but it's the last one, Isaiah 53, that is interpreted metaphorically for a collective. This inconsistency may reflect a reaction to early Jewish Christians appealing to Isaiah 53 for Christ
I find this quite interesting in light of the reaction to Muslims adopting the Son of Man. Isaiah 41:8–9, 44:21, 49:3, and 53, is historically understood as referring to Israel personified. I do wonder why Muslims aren’t allowed the same hermeneutical freedom by these people lol.

The Gospel of Luke is a redaction of Marcion's Evangelion. The anonymous author added many legendary embellishments to the early life of Christ, including the annunciations to Zechariah and Mary. This legend also found its way into the Quran (see Surah Maryam) @IjazTheTrini

Fr. Avery Dulles, S.J., in addressing whether it's possible that the eternal Logos appeared to other peoples in forms relative to their culture (e.g. as Buddha, Krishna, etc.), replied in the affirmative

Plato argued that God, being the Supreme Good, is absent of envy or jealousy. If movement of passions is therefore relegated to lesser entities, where does that leave Yahweh and Allah in the chain of being?

Kurt Rudolph argues the gnostic savior myth is of pre-Christian origin and was tied to proto-Gnostic baptizing sects of the Transjordan

Deuteronomy 16:18-18:22 outlines a government run by national assembly without need for a king. If a king were appointed he would be made subordinate to written Law (!) This has no precedent in the Ancient Near East but does fit Hellenistic thought Did Greece inspire Israel?

Philip R. Davies argues Deuteronomy best fits a 5th century BCE provenance and functions as a "colonial program" to define the identify of a people. He considers the Biblical story of Josiah discovering a Law scroll (=Deut) to be a "complete fiction"

An outdated model of early Christianity pitted an early form rooted in Palestinian Judaism and a later Hellenized form found outside of it. In reality, the Palestine of Jesus' time had a legalistic form of Judaism & other more esoteric variants. IMO Jesus belonged to the latter

Jacques Vallee in a journal entry on October 18th, 2022, describes the deeper reality of the Phenomenon as "devastating". We may infer that the nature of the problem is *more* destabilizing than simple ET visitation and abduction. Time appears limited and we may not be in control

Sneako rode the red pill wave while it was hot. Then he jumped off the boat as it was sinking. Then he did the right wing grift (remember his Trump endorsement?) but then left after he realized he’ll never be accepted (remember his crash out about Haiti?) Now he found one community so desperate for clout and approval that they accept anyone. Islam has become the final stop for people desperately looking for a place to be. Is this a good look for our religion?

Jacques Vallee, scientist & successful venture capitalist, pursued ufology after witnessing the French Space Committee destroy tapes of a UFO. After decades of research, he concluded we are not dealing with ETs but a "spiritual control system" Could this be behind all religions?

Raymond E. Brown delicately scrutinized the historicity of the Virgin Birth and described it as "an unexamined doctrine taken for granted" In his book on the subject he still signaled the *possibility* of its historicity and therefore was able to obtain the censor's Nihil Obstat
