  • #12 Inventing the Trinity (Are we polytheists again?)
    In this episode, we take a look at how early church fathers: Ignatius, Origen, Eusebius, and Turtullian imagined and defined Jesus to the point of inventing the "Trinity." This is the road to Nicea to determine if Christians were polytheistic or monotheistic (Ref. Source: Ehrman's Lost Christianities and Essay "History of Religions.

  • #10 Polytheistic Christians
    This is the last episode in this mini series borrowed heavily from Bart Ehrman's Lost Christianities where we reviewed many popular Christian sects that didn't quite have the same ideas as the Proto Orthodox victors. We also take a pretty good look at why one became so powerful while the others were suppressed, including one of the most popular Pagan religions that grew contemporarily with Christianity, Mithrasism.

    In this episode we focus on two primary sects of Christianity that were at opposition to eachother as well as a major obstacle for the Christian Church in Rome.

  • #9 Heretical Christians
    In this 1 hour episode we continue reviewing those once lost but now found Christian Gospels that tell a very different story about the religion during its infancy. Did Jesus have nipples? Was he circumcised, Was he ever Jewish? Well, I guess it all depends on who you ask. Enjoy! Reach me at: [email protected]

  • #8 Christianity: The lost files

  • #7 Discoveries in the Nag Hammadi
    In this episode we are going take a look at what other literature early Christian communities were reading and was sacred that were not part of the cannon and deemed as heretical by the early church fathers of the second and third centuries. Why were these Gospels, Acts and Apocalypses lost, burned or hidden from their proto orthodox Christian enemies and what measures did this victorious group of Christians take in order to ensure their supremacy? (Based on Bart Ehrman's "Lost Christianities")

  • #6 The Historical Evolution of Hell and Reincarnating Christians
    I thought that it would be fun as well as interesting to take a deep study in what Christians like to refer to as Hell and how does their version compare to other religions that also employed the hell concept for crowd control. Then for a bonus track we will look at early Christian beliefs in resurrection and reincarnation and how it both hindered but helped the Christian cause.

  • #5 Is there extrabiblical evidence for Christ?
    In this episode we continue to look at those extrabiblical sources for a historical Christ figure. Now we will delve into the works of Suetonius, Pliny and Tacitus to see what they say about Jesus, Christian persecution and a crucifixion and in contrast to the brewing messianic movement.
