A Most Peculiar Book (Kristin Swenson)

Prepare to journey through time as we unveil a groundbreaking theory that could rewrite the narrative of biblical history as we know it. [The Bible is a forgery in many parts.]

📜✨ This video explores the compelling theory that the Bible's Abraham (the source of the three Abrahamic faiths), a revered patriarch of the Jewish tradition, may be connected to Greek mythology.

Dive deep as we examine the striking parallels between the story of Abraham's son, Isaac, and Phrixus, a figure in Greek mythology.

🐏 The Sacrificial Ram: A Common Thread? 🐏

Central to this exploration are the uncanny similarities between Isaac and Phrixus — two young men poised on the precipice of a sacrifice only to be miraculously spared by a divinely-sent ram. Could these stories, seemingly worlds apart, actually share a common origin? This investigation delves into the scholarly arguments that suggest a significant connection.
