I just couldn't, I couldn't rationalize it in my head how, you know, there's only one way technically to, to our creator, to our father.
And, and so I wanted to disprove it actually.
I'm like, this is, I want to prove this thing wrong.
And
And over the last 10 years, just like you, I think it's divinely inspired, but I've gotten to sit with some of the leading theologians and scholars in the world.
And it's just, it's fascinating to hear from brilliant minds and different perspectives and, you know, different theologies on that book.
And so the book, I'm obsessed with the book now.
It is a literal obsession.
Yeah, I have this theory and I call it the pendulum theory of Christ.
And I don't present it publicly very often, so I'm gonna present it to you.
And when I see Christ in that book, you know how pendulums swing left to right and there's always like a... So over here, I see like my mom and my brother.
who are these extremely conservative Christians who believe this book is divinely inspired, the word of God, it's infallible, you know, and Christ is the literal son of God who was born and died, a virgin died on a cross, raised and resurrected and is coming back.
Like, that's this literal conservative...
version of this book.
And if you swing the pendulum all the way over, historians unanimously agree that there was a historical figure named Christ who was crucified by the Romans.
But let's swing that as the other side of the pendulum.
And so Christ is on this pendulum and his teachings though were so profound
in Israel at the time that they killed him for it, right?
Because he was pushing against an institution so hard.
So I always say like, if we see Christ on this pendulum, whether you believe he's the son of God and the infallible word of God is accurate and he was born and raised and resurrected, or he was a man who taught to love your neighbor as yourself and love no other God before me, but he died on a cross but didn't resurrect, that's the pendulum.
