Extremely intriguing read. I have not yet watched the videos but would like to talk about some things I have come across in my religious studies. I find Christianity to be a fascinating topic with SO many different interpretations. There was a video I watched sometime this year similar to

Thanks for your comment and finding these videos. I'll watch them when I have the time.
I am familiar with Marcion's ancient heresy, whose doctrine divorces the "New Testament" God from the "Old Testament" God, teaching that the God whom Jesus called "Father" is a different deity than the God of Creation and the Flood and of Exodus etc. This doctrine relied on selective editing of the scriptures, erasing 3 of the 4 gospels and most of the letters, except select letters of Saint Paul. I have a copy of Marcion's edited bible. My personal belief is that Marcion's ancient heresy was allowed by the Most High for His purpose as it was prophesied by both Paul and Peter. The ghost of Marcion still resides in many modern Churches today.
Anyway, I won't comment any more until I've watched the videos, I don't want to presume I already know what's in them.
I would like to know your take on this.
I made it through the first video. Quite a bit to say about it:

According to this doctrine, I'm a devil worshiper.
Watched the second video, wow this is a perspective that is beyond reason. It would be fascinating investigating this further, but I think I understand better how the Jewish sect of "the way" became a new religion in the hands of the Gentiles. The story was re-framed into a "New God" story, similar to what we read in the Pagan religions. I've read some gnostic writings (they are weird) and they follow along this same line of thinking. A replacement God.
This line of thinking is very much like the Roman Pantheon, making "out of many, one" singular God whom Abraham never interacted with. That God who is sanctioned by the US government, who requires full submission and obedience. Maybe one of the "ascended masters" of theosophy, which I believe will be the anti-christ whom Jesus will destroy with the word of His mouth.
This has inspired me to do a phrase search in the gospels for "My Father" to see if it really is similar or disimilar to the God of Creation, the flood, the Exodus, etc.
Thanks again.
