Shalom Friends!
#YomKippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar is almost NIGH.  In honor of the holiday, and #spookyszn for those who observe, let’s cliff dive into the lore of a dramatic and mysterious ancient ritual. 🐐 Welcome to Scapegoated: #Azazel In the Abyss! youtu.be/iJHQjRxe3PA

Judith.

I can't believe this clue had nothing to do with Martin of Tours. The answer was easy enough, but <sits backward on a chair while snowflakes begin to fall> let me tell you about a veteran who gave his life to Jesus... @benitocereno.bsky.social @theisb.bsky.social @apocrypals.bsky.social

Check out this online class by @alexianafry.bsky.social taking place Saturday, September 27, from 12–1:30pm ET. Registration: thebiblefornormalpeople.com/classes/shap...

Since it’s on some people’s minds this week, here’s a thing I wrote a while back www.grunge.com/483498/what-...

HAPPY #HOBBITDAY and SHANA TOVA, EVERYBODY!!!

I blame @apocrypals.bsky.social for my brain churning up a jingle that goes 🎵 Call Mr. Paul, that’s my name, that name again is Mr. Paul 🎵

I am here for this. More #apocrypha on screen, please, even if it is really weird.

Just arrived. Excited to dig in.

@apocrypals.bsky.social the most influential fig rights pod.

It's very comforting when @apocrypals.bsky.social is reading a fight scene from some ancient manuscript that would fit right in to a modern anime. It's good to know every society has evolved a goku figure

Ahahahah

Wait what

So @maklelan.bsky.social hasn't responded to my video, but he has addressed my question! In Chapter 11 of his book, "The Bible Says So"!

Lots of exciting new books for those who work on ancient slavery and writing arriving in the next few months! First up @chancebonar.bsky.social’s God, Slavery, and Early Christianity from @universitypress.cambridge.org

I’ll be honest, it’s not how I pictured it

What if Nicolas Cage was Joseph the Carpenter? What if Young Jesus was Brightburn? What if the Infancy Gospel of Thomas was a horror movie? youtu.be/QzireEd9_qo?...

So long and thanks for all the childhood ass-beatings

He has a standing invitation

Well this seems like the @apocrypals.bsky.social light being lit up….

“You SAY you’re a scholar, but in fact you are NOT NICE ENOUGH to people you believe are lying” is the saddest and most flinchy attack on Dan I have seen in a while, A+ for cringe

Clowns keep coming at the king

Shoot, be a 20-foot-tall volcel lion and then you’ll get an episode on @apocrypals.bsky.social

A question for @maklelan.bsky.social! Was there a tradition in which Abraham actually sacrificed his son Isaac? youtu.be/tis-geyIFcI

Tom Lehrer z”l Here’s one that should land with our listeners youtu.be/3f72CTDe4-0?...

Attn: @apocrypals.bsky.social

This is what @maklelan.bsky.social means when he talks about dogma vs data and how much of apologetics relies on begging the question

This is, I think, why so many people are surprised to learn what is and isn’t in the (canon) Bible when they listen to our show Even the most ardently sola scriptura denominations are teaching traditions and interpretations, not the text itself

I don’t, but maybe someone following does

The best way to celebrate is by watching our secret episode youtu.be/4xHQHK_SLX8

Friend of the show and Multipal Dr Justin Sledge of Esoterica has had his teaching position unceremoniously cut out from under him. Despite this, he's still offering his new seminar on Merkavah mysticism completely free and open access. The least you could do is check it out youtu.be/SaQt5fIjKGw

A book we heartily endorse -- you should get one

I haven’t watched the video yet but the answer is definitely yes

This read will get pushback from those who insist on Superman as a Moses figure, but please allow me to redirect your attention to the phrase Marcionic Christ Also, where are the partisans who favor Superman-as-Sargon, rocketed from an interstellar Azupiranu

Never did I imagine that two of my nerdy loves would cross paths. @themerl.bsky.social discussing infancy gospel in relation to the symbolism of pigs (15:50) and now I want to listen to the @apocrypals.bsky.social' conversation about "Little Jesus" 💚🐷🥓

An @apocrypals.bsky.social App would never 📲
