January 15, 2024·1 hr 36 min·5 clips

The host argues the Christian concept of eternal hell was a Roman pagan import used for control, unlike Jewish ideas of purification.

In a challenging interview, the host of Pulling The Thread debates the origins of Christianity with Adam Green, arguing that the New Testament is the result of a centuries-long Greco-Roman psychological operation that co-opted and inverted Jewish mystical traditions. They explore the distinctions between groups like the Ebionites, Nazarenes, and Essenes, and question the historical existence of Paul and Jesus.
