A Traditional Satanist Asks about The Doctrines Of The (Alleged) Apostle Paul
From time to time, those interested in occult studies mention a Roman-era Palestinian Jewish lay teacher, named Jesus. Later this figure was embellished into a full-blown cosmic character, by Paul, a later adherent, who claimed to be some sort of rustic ecclesiastical dignitary of the Jewish Community.
While viewing the below Gnostic Informant video with the distinguished Professor K. Kloppenborg, of Canada, a question came to mind:
Why did Paul make such a big deal about not requiring new non-Jewish converts to his burgeoning sect to undergo circumcision, while insisting that they be baptized? Performance of this ritual is still asked of even Jewish Reform Movement converts, to this day. Paul's stance makes NO sense. The Qumran people, who generated the Dead Sea Scrolls took part in a daily rite of baptismal dunking too.
Traditional Satanists never allude to Tanna-ic era Jewish Rabbis, such as Akiva. Many Abrahamic believers must be held in the thrall of a "Jesus" who never existed, in the historical sense. On Social Media platforms such as Gab, those of this stripe seem so sure of themselves.
