'Paul in Athens' Really?

Taking a closer look at those famous "missions to the Gentiles".

Did the wandering apostle of the new revelation really make a flying visit to the home of Greek rationalism and tell the philosophers where they were going wrong? Or is Paul's Athenian interlude just another fabrication?

Paul was in Athens for many years and then traveled to Rome, Spain and England before going back to Egypt where he died.

I'm just here to hear him say "astounding rubbish".. can't get enough of that phrase !

Dear Lord. How many have been brainwashed over the centuries of time? If people only knew what they have put their faith in; legends, mythical stories and freakin fairy tales. Thank you Ken for opening our eyes a little more.

I remember the disillusionment I felt when I asked, during confirmation instruction, how Paul was able to travel all over, when the fastest mode at the time was by camel?
And was answered, it wasn't up to us to question scripture. I started disbelieving at that point.

Many parts of the book of acts seem like blatant forgeries, yet when Paul is brought on trial, it seems as though no one knows anything about the person of Jesus on earth, which makes me wonder if Luke was using older, celestial Jesus sources which he bastardized.

I'm so glad that the Catholic Church wrote This Book

Awesome, well done, great job. I never get tired of your videos!

This reminds me of Plato's work "Timaeus" where Solon gives his speech in the middle of the market.
The Republic by Plato preceded Timaeus.

All gods are UNKNOWN because they exist only in our minds, I like how michaelangelo slipped that into the painting of god creating adam on the ceiling, placing god into a bubble that is plainly a representation on the mind, as if to say "it is all in your mind" !

Dr. Humphreys, Amazing, insightful, and better than any other Dr of Theology I've ever heard. May the facts be made known and the mighty brought down by simply lifting up the masses their preaching research has, without known intent, manipulated

Ken; Thanks for this, one of your best, and you've set a very high standard.

"Paul" (as well as even the "seven accepted letters" and Luke & Acts) is a late second century invention.

Well done sir I'm glad I am a sun worshipper 2019

[StephEWaterstram]

There's probably many other names applied to the events taking place in this Book of deception.

[mututhlaw]

Its about damn time. Was wondering when you would upload new stuff. im a " Christian" who asks a lot of question but doesnt take it seriously anymore .i love your second opinion on things i find fictious in regard to how i believe. Good work

Paul = Pollux = Apollo the Gemini twin. Paul's ship carried the Gemini standard. Paul, the messenger, is also Mercury/Hermes

I love the flying pigs, a better image of what an angel looks like.

I Can't help but notice that this man left out some important scripture. in the verse acts 17:15 the actual reference fully says: "So those who CONDUCTED him to Athens; receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed."

Now you probably see that as the people in the boat departed to go back to Silas and Timothy, but the departing is from Paul with his entourage ( because he would have had to of had someone with him ) and those in the boat. The author of the book of Acts, Luke, would of been in the boat with Paul bringing him to places. Paul would then have his entourage there to back up what he was saying to Luke.

He also says in this video that paul is the author of Acts but in reality, the man who wrote acts is named Luke. So I find that this is not a reliable source of knowledge because he fails to find out information about the bible. instead he finds information that better suits his argument and only uses the bible when it can help him. So if you people watch and believe this, then it is not true fact what he is saying in accordance to the bible.

Have you read the book, 'we the skythians'? It would shed a spotlight on the geographical details. Hint: our current location for many things are not the original location.

Acts is ENTIRELY fiction. The true history of Christianity (the Chrestians worshiping Serapis slowly and gradually converted to Paulism over the 50-60 years following the destruction of Jerusalem) was just too embarrassing. They needed a nice story like a group of apostles receiving instruction straight from God and this hero Paul going around showing people the truth; as well as a lie about the origin of the name Christians. All it shows us is the imagination of late 1st century/early 2nd century christians.
