IDK if something like this is even worth saying, but I'll say it anyway. More or less by happenstance, once I started studying the Bible as well as numerous related subjects, I discovered that almost nothing said about the Bible is correct.
Even leaving out the quite astounding fundamental misunderstanding of what that collection of writings is, even simple individual points within it starkly contradict what is commonly believed.
After contemplation, I came to realize that the Bible, as well as pretty much anything else they can get their hands on, simply served as platforms for many people to display to others their "knowledge and expertise".
Their goal, though, was not to share knowledge on some sort of voyage of human discovery using their best talents. That's all just an alibi. It is all driven by ego and, below that, a desire for psychological comfort. If you know more than all others, that's quite a comfortable place to be, is it not? It's all quite regrettable to witness from the outside.
A true voyage of discovery turns out to be quite a lonely venture. Everyone disagrees with you, and the easiest way to do that is to call you a dumbshit. You must directly confront the limits of your knowledge, doubt is a constant companion, and there's no one there and no "back of the textbook" to tell you that you got the "right answer".
And no one ever tells you any of this in school, or portrays it in any movie or novel. I guess it should just be said somewhere, sometime, manifested into the Universe.
But as to your question, without even looking I can tell you this guy is as full of it as the innumerable others that have come before and will come after. Everyone should feel free to waste their precious time studying whatever nonsense he has to say, if their desire so leads them. None of any such study of any such researcher ever got anyone anywhere, so it would be quite the exception if this particular one did.
I many times tell people new to the Bible to get a red letter edition and find the red text, read the lead up to what Jesus said and then his words. The Bible takes on a whole new perspective than what many teach

read only the actual quotes from Jesus. What you wrote he explained. The world will hate you for no reason and your are in a battle.
