Fact-Checking the Bible w/ Atheist Alex O'Connor | Soul Boom

Did Jesus really claim to be God, or was that idea developed over time? In this bonus footage from our episode w/ Alex O'Connor (@CosmicSkeptic), we take a deep dive into the Bible and explore the historical evidence, contradictions in the Gospels, and the way Jesus’ story evolved. From secret teachings to theological debates, we uncover the mysteries of early Christianity, the Gnostic Gospels, and why scholars still argue over Jesus' true identity.
