So there's actual links to where, okay, this is a false statement, but where's the false statement coming from? And you can see the dots and connect them. With something like using the Gospel of the Holy Twelve, or the accusation that Billy uses for the Sinai Bible, Codex Sinaticus, denying the crucifixion,

I think I can come up with a theory as to how he developed that, which is based on a misunderstanding of a textual variant at the end of the Gospel of Mark that is in Codex Vaticanus. Or sorry, not Codex Vaticanus, Codex Sinaticus. But to then repeat this constantly and say that the crucifixion isn't in the Codex Sinaticus entirely...

I'm not sure why he would go about that or where kind of the reasoning came from. As far as I can tell, a lot of these are original to Billy, and they sound sensationalistic, and a lot of people don't have the repertoire or the background to know what something like Codex Sinaticus is.

And so when he's throwing that out to you, or he's throwing that out to Andrew Schultz, or he's throwing that out to Joe Rogan, it's not in your, like... categories of information that you just kind of have off the top of your head. So you just kind of take it at face value, right?

But if you take a seminary Greek class, it wouldn't be unusual to even open up Codex Sinaiticus because it's all digitized. You can go to codexsinaiticus.org and see the document and actually practice translating some Greek from Codex Sinaiticus because it is a prominent Greek manuscript. So, um,

It's a combination of a few things where you have certain arguments that are repeated often enough and loud enough online that they kind of – people in their minds, it becomes true. And then you have other arguments that are more novel. And I find Billy's arguments are more novel than they're not.

He does kind of throw in the Vatican is behind everything and the Council of Nicaea and the books of the Bible and Constantine is another one that kind of gets – everything gets pegged on Constantine for some reason. But there are other things like – a lot of what he talked about with you that I think are, as far as I can tell, Billy originals.

I think so. Meaning nobody else talked about it?

Or the way that they're formulated. So I think Muslims have capitalized on the Gospel of Barnabas because the Gospel of Barnabas appears to actually have been influenced by Islam in the Middle Ages and uses some sort of typical later Islamic arguments from the Middle Ages and does deny the crucifixion.

But the way that it's been used by someone like Billy, I think at minimum it's novel because I haven't seen it in the same way that Billy has articulated it.
