If one dismisses Paul, and only looks for the person in the Gospels of the new testament, they will see that the message is from the eight days old child. “Forgive them father for they know not what they do,” is the too kind message from that child.
Jesus was bipolar, naturally. It is the consequence of early trauma. But what happens when someone starts speaking before they have discovered their argument? They appear to be “beside themselves.”
It does not diminish the discovery of & when it is finally made. But it does create a group of the same lost dogs as the previous group.
The discovery was made by Jesus but effectively hidden by the Grifters who founded the so-called church. To wit (in addition to Thomas 53), “A man old in days will ask a small child seven days of age the meaning of life, and he will live.” The discovery; left out of the Gospels because it is not lend itself to the ruse that is religion.
That is the whole story, to stop the neurotic torture of newborn children. But Jesus was not the first intactivist, nor the last. Stupid are those who escape in fantasy, while leaving the child exposed to such cruelty. “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea.”
