@mharrold61 "Why do we have a Jewish woman teaching us about christian things?"

Because she's a biblical scholar with a PhD, that's why. Her ethnicity has nothing to do with her ability to research biblical history and literature.

The real question you should be asking is why anyone should listen to a bigot such as yourself?

@Overbeek1991 Where? I can't find Satan there anywhere.... Looks like you've been deceived.

@dronea "stay narrow minded listen to the Phd"

If your definition of narrow minded is someone who doesn't believe every idiotic baseless claim out there, then yes, I'm narrow minded, however I prefer the label myself skeptical.

Listen; if you want to be taken seriously, research your material and provide good references especially for the most bizarre claims. Second; learn to spell or use a fucking spell checker and use decent syntax and punctuation, your writing is barely coherent.

@dronea "she doesn't talk about Cristianity"

What the hell are you talking about? She was professor of religion history at Princeton, she's a world leading expert on the Nag Hammadi, and she's published many books on early Christian history and I have several of her books.

You make a lot of bizarre baseless assertions, yet you give no references on which to base your assertions.

Where do you get that the Druids have anything to do with Egyptian mind control?

The Druids were in Gall

@burkerow Your both wrong. And she is not Jewish and she doesn't talk about Cristianity. She is a Luceferian. An Ancient Belief of occult (secret) supremacy. They use religions to create sheep to finally go for a Luciferian believe, created by Lucis trust part of the U.N. United Nazi's, Babylonian style, mixed with druid's an egyptian mind controll thru conflict. And It's the Ellite religion. Freemasonry and the Illuminatti are a huge part off this. But stay narrow minded listen to the Phd?

[dronea]

they (thes new age occultists and all off the other 140 new religions created by lucis trust, part of the UN United Nazi's) are promoting this idee to contact entities and all kind off occult stuff mixed in with Facism, Mussolinie style (blending of corporate and state world) she works with kellog's and all off these other companies. It's a controlled opposition off idea's and religions all around the world. A.L. Anno Lucis . Peganism, Vatican, Freemasons, Knight's of Malta, Jezuits,Illuminatti

[dronea]

She knows who Satan is. She is a Luciferian. She is not Jewish. I was Baptized but I'm not a Cristian if you know what I mean. She is peart of a belief created out of the melting pot of the greatest landmass off the world. They promote a new world order thru a new age movement. All Religions and it also seems to include buddism a ruled by an ancient occult. But don't research this even if there are thousands of poeple waking up and checking the facts. Really poeple it's not even funny anymore
