Sadly

Once a show that seemed to bring a beauty to the world and now it is laying a red carpet out for a prideful heart —and a slithering hatred. It breaks my heart

Knowledge. Seeking Knowledge.

I will admit at times this show is out of my lane, but when we are exploring scripture, Mr Pageau fills in the color where previous teachings have left blank. I listen as a podcast and occasionally YT. Gloria.

Occultism wrapped in a thin veneer of Scripture.

Your very well read sir and have an impressive amount of knowledge in your head. Your ability to articulate your thoughts is also admirable. But your inability to explain the need for the tree of good and evil, in under 45mins perplexes me. One might simply understand it’s necessity in Christ Jesus’s gift of Freewill. Your explanation put my Gnostic teachings alarm on red. I see little difference in your gospel and that of the Kabbalist.

Religious posing as intellectual

Culturally narrow-minded, driven by one-sided belief without openness to other points of view, uninformed.

Jonathan Pageau probably does more for the symbolic, anti-enlightenment movement in the popular mind than anyone else? He’s super interesting, well-spoken, and interviews a lot of interesting people. Highly recommend.
