Speaker 0: Andrew was the brother of Peter. He was a fisherman, and two had to pay taxes besides Jesus, but I might be mistaken here. Speaker 1: I will reconfirm that it is only Peter and Jesus that paid the tax for adults, and I will reconfirm that the other disciples were apprentices in their family's business and were therefore young as well. All of them were 12 and 15 years old, and I'll stand by that, which poses a lot of other questions. If it's the middle of the night and I walk into the wrong house and I see a 30-year-old man washing the feet of an unknown 12-year-old boy, what am I gonna do? I'm going to jail, guys. Think about these questions because it's not the version we've been told. When you redo the story with their ages in mind, it's a darker picture. Speaker 0: That’s really up for debate. If you apply modern-day Jewish disciples in halakhic schools, you might come to that conclusion. Times then were different. Speaker 1: Actually, scholars—look, I just did an article specifically on this, I have all the receipts. Scholars all agree that the age for discipleship within rabbinical circles was 12 to 15 years old. You could Google it. And, again, the only two people that paid taxes were Peter and Jesus. None of the other ones paid taxes and therefore were not adults. It’s in the scripture. Who cares if they're adults? It doesn't matter. Speaker 2: It’s about being a pedophile. Speaker 1: It’s not; it’s not taken out of context. Speaker 0: Peter, Andrew, James, and John were fishermen, right? Peter was already married; Jesus healed his mother-in-law. He was probably the oldest, mid-20s or 30s. The general consensus is Peter is mid-20s to 30s. John is 15 to 20, the youngest. James, late teens to early 20s. Andrew and Philip, late teens. Matthew, early to mid-20s. The others, Thomas and Judas, mostly teens to early 20s. I’m not sure you’ve seen 16-year-old teenagers like fifty years ago; they were men. It’s a different picture today. So I don’t buy the Jesus was a pedophile claim. Speaker 2: CQ Radio does the same bullshit. Try to make him a pedo. Speaker 1: It’s all about mystery rites and excretion from children in their mystery practices. Like adrenaline, they use children as a sacrament to open the veil. That’s what’s going on with the elites today—the Vatican, Israel, and all the elites. The Bible is a PG version. Wake up and stop attacking me because I’m telling the truth, especially if you don’t have the balls to research it yourself. Speaker 0: What the fuck was that? I’m not attacking you. You can have your own opinion. The general consensus of scholars on the Bible was what I just read—the estimated ages. The youngest were Jesus’ direct family, cousins. Speaker 2: CK will do the same thing—bring up the kid at the Last Supper, and he was doing it. It hinges on a false interpretation of one word. Speaker 1: Arts, magic, occult have two sides: black magic uses trauma, fear, and control to harvest from children; white magic uses unity and consent. They both conjure the same entities. One is loving, one is painful. Look at the ages of the disciples: 12 to 15. Only Peter and Jesus paid the toll; the others were not adults. Speaker 2: Quick question: who do you think is God? What is good in the world according to your worldview? Speaker 1: There is a loving creator. That has nothing to do with what I said. If you equate Jesus with God, that’s a you problem. Speaker 2: Are you going to say what you actually believe? Speaker 1: Move on. There’s a loving creator who created us in his image and loves us. Speaker 3: There’s been a lot of indoctrination of children recently. The biggest discussion is wars. Speaker 1: You can give us a little more. Speaker 3: They’re doxxing this kid. People know. Speaker 1: I’m an alpha warrior. Speaker 0: I have to check the Mossad Media Matrix. Speaker 3: Grandma gave him permission. It’s not going to end well. Speaker 1: I’ll be listening. Somebody can go listen there or you could hide on my page as a handle. You’ll be on my team, though. Speaker 4: Veritas suggested forgiving the heretic, but I don’t think it’s ours to forgive. It’s hubris to think that. We’re trying to have an open debate, but disrespectful behavior isn’t acceptable. Speaker 1: I didn’t mean to be disrespectful. Speaker 4: We can wrestle with scripture without ad hominem. You’re okay to say Muhammad’s a better approximation, but that’s a different topic. Speaker 1: Start by looking into the ages of the disciples. Thank you. Speaker 2: The real concern is elsewhere. Veritas has gone over that research and it suggests the opposite.

They mention that Jews in the time of Jesus would not have recognized this symbol, and it only became associated with Judaism in the 1600s. In the Bible, it is mentioned as a symbol of a false god, not something prescribed by God. The other speaker asserts that the Star of David is a satanic symbol because they believe Judaism is a satanic religion.

If Jesus weren't real, Luciferians wouldn't be running the world, dedicated to witchcraft, sex magic, and blood sacrifices. God waged war on witchcraft. Former Satanists admit only true Christians are immune to witchcraft. The gospels don't include a pope or instructions to obey priests, and Jesus said to call no man father. High-ranking Freemasons think people are stupid for not believing in Satan. The speaker describes shocks: the existence of an international secret society, their oaths and rituals, and that this society is Satanism. The biggest shock is Jesus. God came to Earth to be ridiculed and executed to save people. The speaker challenges listeners about their love for sin and idols, asking why God should share his wealth with the unclean and unrepentant. The speaker questions why people focus on suffering while doing nothing to help and points out that the calendar is a testament to Jesus. The speaker says most haven't even knocked on God's door.

The speakers discuss views on Christians and Jews. One speaker questions how Christians can believe they killed God, referring to JC, and states that if JC was God, they couldn't have killed him. They mock Christians for celebrating JC's birthday, with one rabbi purportedly saying he's happy that millions of gentiles bow down to one Jew. One person claims they stopped praying to JC after realizing he was Jewish. Christianity is described as having taken elements from Judaism and adding "nonsense." JC is quoted from the New Testament (Matthew 5:17-19) as saying he didn't come to contradict the Torah. The speakers suggest that worshiping God means respecting Jews, as they are God's children. They imply that treating Jews well leads to God, while harming them is detrimental. They claim the Torah says God loves Jews the most and that JC was a Jew.

Speaker 0 begins by challenging the other person’s belief, saying, “He don’t we don’t believe the Jesus, man.” The line signals a heated disagreement about Jesus and hell. The speaker then asserts that the other side believes “that Jesus is burning and shit and hell,” and he agrees with that characterization by saying, “Oh, yeah. Exactly.” This exchange frames the conversation as a confrontation over the nature of Jesus and his fate after death. The dialogue moves to a reaction to the idea of Jesus suffering in hell. Speaker 0 labels the idea as “terrible,” immediately followed by a probing question about why it should be considered terrible: “Why it's terrible?” He clarifies his stance by presenting a broader theological boundary, insisting, “It's not you it's not your god, and it's not my god. It's not the Muslim god.” In this line, he separates gods across religions and implies that the accusation or belief about Jesus burning in hell does not align with his or the other speaker’s understanding of divinity. The question then becomes a direct inquiry about the nature and identity of Jesus: “So what is Jesus? Tell me. What is Jesus? Jesus Christ Jesus. What is fucking Jesus?” The repetition emphasizes the speaker’s demand for a clear definition or explanation of who Jesus is. Speaker 0 proceeds to provide a definitive, though provocative, description: “Jesus Christ is the lord and savior for Christian people.” This statement asserts a canonical Christian understanding of Jesus’ role, positioning Jesus as central to Christian faith. However, the conversation quickly shifts as Speaker 0 challenges the reverence of Jesus by saying, “You're disrespecting him when you're saying that he's burning in hell and shit.” The rebuke reframes the earlier claim about Jesus’ fate as disrespectful to Jesus’ significance in Christian belief. The exchange culminates in a stark declaration from Speaker 0: “Listen. Jesus Jesus is nothing.” This controversial line is followed by an appeal to biblical literacy: “And if you don't if you really, really believe in the bible, you need to understand you believe Jewish man.” Here, the speaker implies that belief in the biblical narrative recognizes Jesus as a figure rooted in Jewish tradition, or perhaps emphasizes Jesus’ Jewish origins as part of understanding his identity within Christianity. The overall conversation centers on definitions of Jesus, the appropriateness of statements about his afterlife, and the contrast between Christian, Jewish, and other religious conceptions of Jesus.

He's holding the Old Testament. He's holding the Hebrew scriptures. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, Jesus, the Jew. Salvation is of the Jews.

Viewer discretion is advised as the speaker discusses the origins of Christmas. They explain that Christmas evolved from the Roman holiday Saturnalia, which involved gift-giving, drunkenness, and mistreatment of women. The Protestant church outlawed Christmas until the 1800s. The speaker also mentions that Christmas has pagan origins, with worshipers of the god Molech sacrificing babies during the winter solstice. They connect the tradition of sitting children on Santa's lap to this dark history. The speaker further explains that Santa Claus was originally seen as demonic, and the "ho ho ho" laugh came from a figure called Robin Goodfellow, associated with the devil. They criticize the celebration of Christmas as a distraction from societal issues like government corruption, brainwashing in schools, and economic struggles.

Easter Sunday doesn't align with Jesus' resurrection as it varies yearly due to its connection to the solar system. The origins of Easter trace back to Babylon, where the goddess Ishtar was worshipped on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the equinox.

Of Palestine,” which he finds very interesting, and he notes some verses are “gone” or not there anymore, including “Matthew seven verses 21 through 23.” He quotes: “Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, … we used to pray in your name, in the name of Jesus, … Get away from me, you evildoers. You lawless people. You workers of iniquity. Get away from me.” He claims this is Jesus on the day of judgment disowning his own people for not worshipping God, even though they did works in Jesus’ name. Speaker 1 adds: “The key to this is to realize that even Jesus realized and knew that you shouldn't pray to him because he was merely a mortal man. He knew that we needed to pray to a higher power, whether you wanna call it source, God, spirit, nature.” They claim “They removed these verses” to push energy into Jesus and to torture on the cross and through the Eucharist, calling the Bible tainted “to bend to the will of man, tainted to evil” and noting “evil doers who prayed to Jesus.” What do you make of that?

This is a call for vengeance. Happy Valentine’s Day, and beware the propaganda that holidays like this are about love and caring; the origins of holidays are rooted in pagan, satanic tradition. Valentine’s Day does not stand for love in the way people think; the origins go back to Lupercalia, a Roman pagan festival from February 13 to February 15, which involved lust and perversion and, crucially, the sacrifice of goats and a dog, performed by a group of priests described as satanic priests. The belief is that holidays in the United States are linked to sacrifice, and Lupercalia involved goat sacrifices and, as described, a ritual killing in honor of Lupercalia. The discussion moves to the heart symbol: the heart shape that celebrities hold up is connected to Baal, a Babylonian symbol associated with the word heart in Babylonian, pronounced Baal. The heart symbol is said to be a symbol of Baal, lord of the Babylonians, and the heart as a symbol is tied to Baal/Nimrod among the ancient Babylonians. The speaker asserts that the word Valentine derives from a common Roman name honoring Lupercalia’s namesake, Lupercus, the hunter. In Greek tradition, Lupercalia’s figure is Pan, and in Semitic tradition, Pan is Baal. The speaker also references the Satanic Temple, noting that they celebrate Lupercalia on February 15 and describe the festival in terms that align with goat sacrifice and “goat feasting,” translating this as a “hail yourself day.” The temple’s symbolism, including the upside-down pentagram, is cited as part of their mission to remove Christianity from public life while presenting themselves as advocates for women’s rights; the claim is that they celebrate blood sacrifice. Further, the speaker connects Valentine’s Day to Baal worship and to a broader pattern of holidays being cloaked in satanic origins, arguing that people participate in these rituals unknowingly. The heart symbol is shown as an example of a symbol attached to Baal; the idea is that the heart is not intrinsically a symbol of love but a symbol tied to Baal worship. The speaker also references a broader critique of mainstream media and alt-right messaging, describing the tendency to present a “truth-taste” of information that includes monetary or occult influences, but insists that the true origins of holidays should be understood as satanic rituals cloaked as ordinary celebrations. In summary, Valentine’s Day is presented as a continuation of Lupercalia, linked to Baal worship and goat sacrifice, with the heart symbol serving as a claim of Baal’s symbol; the celebration is portrayed as part of a broader pattern of hidden satanic traditions embedded in widely observed holidays, including Christmas as connected to Nimrod/Saturnalia. The message concludes with a call to wake up, quit partaking in satanic ritual holidays, and recognize the supposed pagan origins of these celebrations.

The Jewish encyclopedia states that Jesus advised blessing Jews and ensuring their well-being. Christians, seen as followers of a false prophet, also face condemnation, especially those observing the Sabbath. The Talmud regarded Christian writings as a significant threat to Judaism, leading to prohibitions against sharing food with Christians and rejecting their testimonies in court.

Christmas is a stolen holiday with pagan origins. Santa Claus, originally a Norse god named Odin, would give presents while riding on an 8-legged horse. The 12 days of Christmas originated from the pagan winter solstice celebration, where people would get drunk, exchange gifts, and kiss under mistletoe. Romans performed fertility rituals under mistletoe to honor the god Saturn. The Yule star, representing the five Lemons, was placed on trees. Stars and ornaments on Christmas trees are pagan traditions. Christmas caroling, eggnog, and the Yule log are also pagan in origin. December 25th was originally celebrated as the birth of the invincible sun, but Pope Julius the first changed it to Jesus's birthday.

The speaker argues that Christmas origins and the figure of Santa Claus are deeply linked to ancient pagan rituals. They state that December 25 was originally Saturnalia, a festival of orgies, debauchery, and inversion, which is today marketed as a family holiday to corrupt people. Each year, a figure named Maria Carrey opens the season and is dressed as an offering; in her latest post, she is placed at the center in a composition described as sodomite, in the same style as Bonnie Blue. The speaker asserts that when people deck their trees, they do so without understanding, because they idolize symbols tied to male genitalia, bull testicles, and semen, and participate in the ritual unconsciously while telling children that Santa will come. The argument continues that Santa is Saturn, the ancestor of Moloch, a deity who devoured children and demanded sacrifices. Today these practices are symbolically represented on the laps of Father Christmas, implying that the cult has never truly disappeared. The speaker claims that Liliths parade in the streets and Moloch appears in stadiums, noting that although the decor changes, the ritual remains the same. Saturn is equated with Santa, and Santa is said to be an anagram of Satan. The speaker asserts that this is demonstrated deliberately in films, showing that Santa has the same chariot as Saturn, the same role, and the same interest in children. The name Old Nick is cited as meaning the devil. Saint Nicholas and Krampus are described as a lower version of Moloch under a different name, and the speaker emphasizes that there is nothing Christian in all of this.

In this conversation, Patrick Bet-David hosts Reza Aslan, a prominent author and scholar known for his works on religion, including "Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth." They discuss various topics, including Aslan's background, his views on religion and politics, and the current situation in Iran. Aslan shares his upbringing in Iran, where his family was part of an upper-middle-class landowning community. He describes the political climate leading up to the 1979 Revolution, emphasizing the unexpected alliance between secularists and religious leaders that ultimately led to the rise of the Islamic Republic. He recounts his family's decision to leave Iran shortly after the revolution, highlighting the dangers posed by the new regime. The discussion shifts to Aslan's views on Jesus, where he distinguishes between Jesus as a historical figure and the Christ of Christian theology. He argues that Jesus was a radical revolutionary focused on social justice, contrasting this with the spiritualized version of Jesus that many Christians adhere to today. Aslan asserts that the teachings of Jesus were deeply political and aimed at addressing the suffering of the marginalized. Aslan also critiques the literal interpretation of religious texts, arguing that they should be understood metaphorically and contextually. He believes that all religions convey similar truths and that the essence of faith lies in the experience of the transcendent rather than adherence to dogma. The conversation then turns to Iran, where Aslan expresses his disdain for the current regime, calling it a murderous theocracy. He discusses the complexities of U.S. foreign policy towards Iran, particularly regarding the nuclear deal (JCPOA). Aslan argues that the deal was a necessary step to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and that sanctions have only entrenched the regime's power while harming the Iranian people. Bet-David challenges Aslan's views, questioning the effectiveness of negotiating with a regime that openly calls for the destruction of America. Aslan counters that diplomacy is essential and that isolating Iran has not yielded positive results for the Iranian populace. He emphasizes the need for economic liberalization and access to the global market as a means to empower the Iranian people. Throughout the discussion, Aslan maintains that the ultimate goal should be to support the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom and democracy, rather than strengthening the regime through punitive measures. He concludes by discussing his new book about Howard Baskerville, an American missionary who supported Iran's early democratic movements, illustrating the historical ties between the U.S. and Iran. The conversation highlights the complexities of faith, identity, and politics, particularly in the context of Iran's turbulent history and the ongoing struggle for human rights and democracy.

Lee Strobel – The Case for Christmas: Evidence of Jesus’ Birth & Biblical Prophecy | SRS #265
Guests: Lee Strobel
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Lee Strobel’s conversation with Shawn Ryan centers on the Christmas story, its historical and prophetic foundations, and the personal journey that transformed Strobel from atheist journalist to Christian apologist. The episode delves into the virgin birth, the genealogy through David, and the Bethlehem setting, with Strobel explaining how prophecy, linguistic detail, and historical context converge to support the claim that Jesus was born of a virgin and born in Bethlehem as foretold. He recounts Isaiah 7:14’s virgin birth, discusses Hebrew terms and Septuagint translation nuances, and offers a nuanced explanation of why many scholars view the birth narrative as a cluster of messianic prophecies rather than a single event. Throughout, Strobel emphasizes how the consistency of prophecies and their fulfillment in Jesus’ life challenge the idea that these details were accidental, highlighting the mathematical odds of multiple prophecies aligning by chance as a rhetorical device to illustrate the strength of the case for Christ. storytellingDrawing on archaeology, early Christian chronology, and textual studies, Strobel connects the Christmas account to broader questions about truth, faith, and the limits of skepticism. He discusses how Luke’s traditional accounts and early church historians have weighed in on questions such as the timing of Jesus’ birth, the meaning of katalyma translated as guest room rather than inn, and the role of Joseph in the nativity narrative. The dialogue also touches on the star guiding the Magi and the symbolism of the gifts as foreshadowing Jesus’ kingship, priestly mission, and ultimate suffering, conveying a message that Christmas is inseparable from Easter in Christian theology. The hosts and guest also explore personal experiences of doubt, the nature of evidence, and how one tests spiritual claims in community with trusted friends, arguing that faith grows from a blend of reason, testimony, and prayer rather than from blind belief. The episode repeatedly returns to the central claim that the birth narrative is not only a matter of historical curiosity but a story with transformative implications for how believers view God, humanity, and salvation. Strobel underscores that the narratives about Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the Magi point to a universal invitation—Jesus came for all people, Jew and Gentile alike—while also acknowledging that many details remain debated among scholars. The conversation balances apologetic rigor with personal testimony, inviting listeners to evaluate evidence, engage with credible sources, and consider how faith can emerge from careful inquiry and lived experience.
