It went up. It's 15 now. That's Old Testament. You don't got to give 10%. You can at least give as much as you want.

No, I don't think so. A lot of people think that. There was a guy named... I'm going to forget his name. He was a Russian... researcher in the 1800s, and he made this claim that he went out to Tibet and he found a document in a Tibetan monastery that talked about Jesus studying there in India. His name's eluding me. It'll pop in my brain. Yeah, Nicholas Notovitch.

The problem is that he basically, with all these things, right, Emerald Talbis of Thoth, all the evidence disappears, right? And then you have, like, trust me, bro. And actually, a statement came out from the monks at this particular monastery, and they're like, we have no idea what this guy's talking about. No Russian has ever showed up here.

But he made this claim that Jesus went to India when he was in his childhood missing years. Got it. So you have his birth story, right? And then you have a story in the Gospel of Luke where he's 12 years old. And Mary, Joseph, and Jesus go to Jerusalem. And then Mary and Joseph conveniently lose the Son of God. And they get out of there and realize he's not with them.

That's my point.

Good question. So... The Gospels are a form of ancient biography, and when you read, there are stipulations for ancient biography. So there are guys like Lucian, who writes a document called How to Write Good History in the Ancient World, right? So he's a little bit before Jesus, and he actually talks about—and some other ancient biographies.

biographers, historians, talk about how do you write good history. And the editing process, they say, is just as important as what you include. So in the 18th, 19th century, a lot of these German scholars looked at the Gospels and they said, these can't be biographies because we know that biographies include stories of your childhood and particularly psychologize.
