The Old Testament talks of a wrathful and vengeful God that spited people and beseeched his followers to do the same even women and children
Those people that he smited? They practiced child sacrifice.

All those “gods”, the Elohim did. Warring factions for the purest adrenaline to be oxidized into their drug, adrenochrome.

Gnostic gospels and banned gospels and books intrigue the hell out of me. When making the canon, European men in the church decide which gospels to include and which to not include.
This statement is misleading.
While it's true that the canon was decided by church leaders over a longer period of time, the gnostic movement was a 1st century phenomenon and was fought about among the church leaders immediately.
There were all kinds of crazy movements that tried to hitch their wagons to the rapidly growing Jesus following crowd. Most of these movements placed Jesus at a place of prominence, but then deviated wildly on issues like His divinity, his relationship to Father God, whether he ever even lived or died, whether he was resurrected, etc.
To fight confusion and the always popping up of heretical groups, the early church gathered in Nicea (present day Turkey) in 325 AD to memorialize the central tenants of the church. But far before that, people who saw Jesus and walked with him were fighting against heretical groups.
Christ be with you.

Which he was as the result of the Elohim in-vitro fertilization of the Virgin Mary. But so were a lot of other humans.
Centuries before, the Elohim had started their GMO operation on the wild humans, using a CRSPR like device that burnt out the existing gene array (chromosome) at J2/J3 junction, thus reducing humans from 24 to 23 chromosome pairs.

I always read that as Zacchaeus was small in stature.

Yep.
Which is why it slipped through the revisions.

I’ve always thought about things like this and more recently after reading Sapiens and a couple of visits to Middle East. Long talks with a few Muslim and Hindu faiths enhance it all.
Sapiens makes all religion appear to be fiction from humanity. I halfway believe in the general tone but also 100% believe in a higher power. As the book repeatedly emphasizes, our species is adept at contradictory beliefs. I am no exception.

What's always confused me is that Joseph was supposed to be Jesus's link to the House of David, however Joseph wasnt Jesus's father.

Come on now. 
You’re supposed to pay no attention to the man behind the green curtain and not question how you carry your step-Father’s ancestors’ DNA.
It’s called the greatest story for a reason.
And would have made a little more sense of the tie was through Mary.

There's geological evidence for a worldwide flood around 12,000 years ago.
Lol. No there's not.
Maybe not a singular world wide flood but at the end of the Last Ice Age, there were several catastrophic floods cause by glacial lake bursting through their ice dams. Which coincides somewhat with the 12,000 year timeline.
Look up the scablands in Washington state

I don’t think it’s rational to believe that current human civilization is the most advanced in earth’s history.
If the earth is 4.5 billion years old, what makes us think no other civilizations existed and were at least equal to ours and then died out or left the planet?

Research Younger Dryas period. Earth rapidly warmed and sea levels rose approximately 400 feet. Then the Earth cooled again. There’s geological evidence of this from nano diamonds found worldwide to glacial core samples showing this event. Most larger mammals in North America were wiped out at this time and so were the Clovis people. Something definitely happened at that time 11800 to 12600 years ago.

A great example is the image of Jesus we’ve seen accepted for hundreds of years. Based on European men and not middle eastern men.
A letter from the Roman consul Lentulus to the Roman Emperor Tiberius:
quote:
a noble and lively face, with fair and slightly wavy hair; black and strongly curving eyebrows, intense penetrating blue eyes and an expression of wondrous grace. His nose is rather long. His beard is almost blonde, although not very long. His hair is quite long, and has never seen a pair of scissors.....His neck is slightly inclined, so that he never appears to be bitter or arrogant. His tanned face is the color of ripe corn and well proportioned. It gives the impression of gravity and wisdom, sweetness and good, and is completely lacking in any sign of anger

It’s referring to Zaccheus being small in stature you dolt.

I enjoy books by Jonathon Cahn (currently reading The Return of the Gods) who is a Christian with a Jewish background.
He pretty much says God has a template that repeats itself; first with the Children of Israel when they wandered away from worshiping Him alone. He'd let other tribes smite them when they worshipped the Baals.
He make the case for the same template falling on America and the falling away by Christians. He is not a Replacement Theologian.

An interesting fact is that Oxford University is older than the Aztec civilization.

No Native American civilization had ever seen a wheel until the Europeans came. How did the build pyramids?
