Episode notes
The paper, The Palimpsest and Mosaic Plagiarism, argues that the canonical Pauline corpus is a "palimpsest" that has been systematically "larded" with seven specific intercalations designed to bind the original, law-free Gospel to the Abrahamic covenant, Mosaic Law, and Davidic lineage.
The research further establishes a "Triune Witness of Descent" through Evangelion 1:1, 1 Corinthians 15:47, and John 3:13, which preserves the original celestial Christology of a pre-existent Son with no earthly biography. Ultimately, the paper concludes that later fabrications like the "Harrowing of Hell" were engineered to neutralize this primitive witness and solidify the orthodox graft.
Let's join the roundtable discussion.
