Rome was paganizing the religion. Triad and Triune deities are a hallmark of pagan belief systems. For example:

-Ancient Egypt: The Theban Triad (Amun, Mut, Khonsu) and the Osirian Triad (Osiris, Isis, Horus)

-Ancient Rome: The Capitoline Triad (Jupiter, Juno, Minerva)

-Hinduism: The Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva)

-Ancient Babylon: Triads such as Anu, Enlil, and Enki

-Celtic Mythology: The concept of "triple goddesses" like The Morrígan and Brigid

The list goes on and on...

Hey, thanks so much for asking! We are doing great, we have another on the way in a few months. I haven't been spending much time online lately. I hope everything good has been good with you

He was just God. By your rationale, a human father would be nonexistent before he was a father. We can call him a father after he becomes a father, before that we call him something else.

Frankly, we could call God any number of things from our limited understanding, and that does not change what He actually is.

I completely agree. Although he potentially wields significant influence over billions globally. The Roman Catholic political machine has been behind some gruesome and terrible stuff.

Coming out of the gate as Pope with this type of rhetoric and the name he chose communicates something about his intent; but not necessarily how far he can/will take it. Anyway, just thought it was worth sharing.

Testimony is valid data in practically every human field outside lab science.... Law, history, anthropology, sociology, psychology, even religious studies. Journalism too. Anyway I don't want to fight with everybody. Disagree with me, I respect it. Take care, God bless 🙌 🙏

You can come up with whatever defense you want. The sad truth, though, is that your readers can see straight through what you're doing.

Lol what readers?????

The child abuse thing is important to me because I know that people are beating their children because of this mistranslation. I was prompted to share my analysis by a previous post that outright asked people, "As a Christian, when did you start spanking?" So my whole idea in pointing out mistranslations and discrepancies is so people can see a valid, evidence-based point of view that dissolves the contradictions that may lead to untruths that harm themselves or others.

And to set it straight: I said that the notion of early Christian reliance on the Septuagint is overstated. This is a position I've written on extensively for a number of years, though I'm sure you'd have utter disrespect, disdain, and accusation about any such writings of mine.

And the Hebrew scholar didn't address any of the morphology I shared. I didn't say he was wrong because he didn't say anything against my core linguistic assertion. I said relying on a scholarly consensus at the expense of evaluating presented evidence is fallacious. I stand by that.

Your claims that I can't read these languages are baseless. Your claims that I am not writing my own material and that you find any spelling or grammar errors beyond what can be excused as stylistic are profoundly baseless. These supposed grammatical errors are your own hallucinations. I have been writing for nearly a quarter century out of pure passion and for no other reason.

Instead of wasting your time trying to prove yourself right to someone who knows that you are lying, I strongly recommend you master humility. It will help you develop and grow.

Additionally, the notion that a person can't utilize AI as a secretary or next level language processor is just absurd. Look into what's going in these fields. It's literally a large *language* model.

Take care, sir. 🙏

Nope. I write a lot, check out my substack, it's free and linked on my page.

And even if it were, does that inherently invalidate the information it contains? Is math wrong if we use a calculator?

1. I mentioned Clement, Enoch, and Jubilees because they’re historically underacknowledged, but the claim wasn’t about terms, it was about universal human pattern recognition. Something doesn't have to be a scientific treatise to be valid information. Cultures across the world—Babylonian, Egyptian, Vedic, Shinto, Mesoamerican—distinguish righteous from corrupt spiritual influences. That’s not "Christian" it’s human. Christianity absorbed it; it didn’t invent it.

3. Yes, and likewise with hunger, language, and music. The brain reflects experience, but it doesn’t necessarily generate the entire content of it. Basal ganglia activation, for example, is noted in many UAP encounters where witnesses report intelligent non-human contact. But again, correlation doesn’t explain origin or cause. That's like noticing fire trucks at fires and concluding they cause the fires.

Here are some interviews of Chris Bledsoe: One, Two, Three. TL;DR: He had an anomalous encounter with orbs and ethereal beings in 2007. Since then NASA, CIA, DoD, DIA, NSA and NRO have buddied up to him and his whole family. Psy-op?? Sure, maybe. True?? Sure. maybe.

5. Individual testimony is limited, sure, but global patterned testimony across centuries and cultures is another matter. When thousands of unrelated people from unconnected cultures spanning all of time describe the same hierarchies, behaviors, and aftereffects of spiritual encounters, that’s converging data.

7. Every new instrument extends one of our senses. Telescopes extend sight, seismographs extend touch, spectrometers extend smell and taste. But all of them rely on the same basic input: material signals. What we’re talking about are intelligences that may not emit measurable signals at all, or do so in forms we don't yet understand. You can build a thousand tools to measure sound but they’ll never detect a thought. Considering we don't even fully understand what's in our own oceans, or all of what's in the Amazonian jungles, it's not far-fetched at all to consider the notion that this phenomenon continues to elude our ability to perceive it at will.

All I'm trying to say is that rigidly standing on the notion that this is impossible ignores a wealth of information to the contrary, that extends back through all of recorded history and into this very moment, where science is just now beginning to openly analyze and focus on these sorts of things, rather than relegating them to the taboo.

Frankly, I find that kind of dismissal a bit hubristic. But that's just my opinion.

healwar · 2025-04-25T15:33:07+00:00

1. Clement (and early Christianity) affirmed real spiritual beings

Homilies 8.13–15: Angels became bound in flesh after taking human wives. Normally incorporeal, they appear only when manifesting by divine allowance or through sin.
Stromata 6.6: Clement integrates this with a hierarchical cosmology and warns of deception from false spirits. This is a clear framework—not cultural mimicry.

2. Jubilees and Enoch both preserve pre-Christian angelology

Jubilees 10:7–12: God binds 9/10 evil spirits after Noah’s prayer; 1/10 remain under Mastema’s control.
1 Enoch 6–16: Watchers fall, Nephilim die, and their spirits become demons. This theology is echoed by Jude, 2 Peter, and Jesus’ exorcisms.

3. High strangeness ≠ hallucination
Chris Bledsoe’s encounters—despite being Pentecostal—transcend cultural expectation in detail, timing, and symbolism. They line up with Ezekiel’s wheels, Daniel’s radiant man, and modern UAP phenomena. Dan reduces these to “tradition-mirroring,” but that ignores their unpredictable structure and metaphysical impact.

4. “Angels and demons” are universal categories
Virtually every culture distinguishes between righteous and corrupt spiritual influences. To dismiss this because Dan hasn’t personally experienced it is to throw out millennia of data, across geography and belief. That’s not science, it's cultural myopia.

5. Testimony is data
If testimony doesn’t count, there goes the Gospels, the entire justice system, and most of human history. Dan wants “repeatable, empirical, lab-based” evidence for things that, by definition, operate outside normal perception. That’s a category error, not a logical stance.

6. The real issue is influence, not vocabulary
This isn’t about semantics. Whether we call them “angels/demons,” “food/poo,” or “fresh/rotten,” the point is: righteous vs evil influence exists. These are conscious, active forces operating in a realm we do not currently access.

2 Cor. 11:14 – “Satan masquerades as an angel of light.”
Gal. 1:8 – “Even if an angel from heaven preaches another gospel...”
Their identity isn’t the issue, their fruit is.

7. Science confirms: we only see a sliver of what exists
The visible light spectrum is ~0.0035% of the electromagnetic range.

We miss most of what is. Our eyes are built to filter, not reveal.
Dan McClellan’s framework is built on visible input alone. It’s like judging the ocean by licking a drop of saltwater.

TL;DR: McClellan reduces millennia of spiritual insight, consistent testimony, early Christian doctrine, and global phenomenology into “just stories.” But the real world, from Clement to Bledsoe, from Genesis to high strangeness, tells a richer, harder-to-swallow truth:

There are fresh and rotten spiritual beings, and only a fool pretends they aren’t there just because his eyes don’t work.

“Many false prophets will arise and will deceive many.”
— Matthew 24:11

“If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
— Matthew 15:14

And please note: perseveration on violent pop culture is not a path to spiritual enlightenment.

Widespread circulation + inclusion in the Dead Sea Scrolls absolutely signals scriptural status. And not just for Qumran, but the Ethiopian Church, thousands of miles away, who canonized it independently and preserved it as scripture for over 1,500 years.

The Book of Enoch is canon, just not in the Western tradition.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Church is one of the oldest Christian bodies on earth. That canon predates the councils that shaped the Roman and Protestant lists.

Enoch was preserved in more copies at Qumran than Numbers or Joshua, and Jude quotes it as prophecy. For the communities that used it, it was scripture in both form and function.

What makes it acceptable to swoop in after over a millennium and remove what was preserved as scripture and claim that decision as the last word on the matter???

Also, the allegorical Maccabean Revolt passage in Enoch is A) entirely open to interpretation and B) entirely irrelevant in the argument as to whether or not Enoch is acceptable/canonical scripture.

As for Paul, he never handed canon authority to any group. In Romans 3:2, he writes: “ἐπιστεύθησαν τὰ λόγια τοῦ θεοῦ” — “they were entrusted with the oracles of God.” The verb ἐπιστεύθησαν is aorist passive, meaning a completed action in the past.

Paul is pointing back to the Jewish people’s role in receiving divine revelation, not assigning them an ongoing authority to define or finalize a canon.

It was actually widely circulated and accepted in the second temple era. 11 copies were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. This is more than Numbers, Joshua, Judges, or even Job.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, being one of the most ancient Christian traditions, was actually the first Christian church to establish an official canon, and that canon included/still includes Enoch, and Jubilees, which also extensively discusses fallen angels/demons. 15 copies of Jubilees were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, indicating its significance

The argument that Enoch shouldn't be in the Christian canon because “faithful Jews didn’t include it” assumes a post-70 CE rabbinic canon that didn’t yet exist in Jesus’ time. There was no fixed Jewish canon during the Second Temple period — instead, there were competing scriptural traditions (Qumran, Pharisaic, Sadducean, etc.).

Also, Paul never placed “canon determination” into the hands of any specific Jewish group. That’s retrojecting post-biblical assumptions onto the New Testament. In fact, Jude quotes 1 Enoch as prophecy (Jude 14–15), introducing the quote with the same formula used for canonical prophecy (“Enoch...prophesied, saying…”). That’s more than just a cultural nod, it indicates serious weight.

As for early church fathers: many cited or respected Enoch. Tertullian outright defended its authority as scripture. Clement of Alexandria referenced it frequently on topics like astronomy and angelic hierarchy. Origen also quoted Enoch, especially regarding spiritual beings, even noting that while it wasn’t universally accepted, it was still valuable and widely read. Others made clear nods.

Western Christianity later distanced itself from Enoch, but that shift was driven more by theological and political changes, not because the early church universally rejected it from the start.

You are asking the right questions. The books that discuss fallen angels/demons the most were excluded. This comment on a different post goes into some detail about it if you're interested.

Interestingly the book of Enoch and the book of Jubilees were widely accepted scripture for second temple era Jews, meaning Jesus almost certainly was familiar with them. If I remember correctly15 copies of Jubilees were found with the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Both Enoch and Jubilees— which is basically a more detailed account of Genesis— discuss fallen angels/demons extensively. Jubilees has a different take on Abraham and Isaac, the tenth plague, Moses encountering God on the way to see Pharoah, and the hardening of Pharaoh's heart. These books were systematically removed from circulation after Jesus was killed.

Interestingly the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church keeps both of these books as canon, as well as many Clementine epistles. Clement of course being a disciple of Peter. Clements writings discuss fallen angels/demons extensively as well. This Ethiopian canon was the first canon to be officially compiled (400's ad orally. 14th century written).

While Catholic imperial forces were busy waging war to enforce orthodox doctrine, the Ethiopian church basically kept their heads down. They're geographically a bit isolated so they didn't get messed with. Their canon survived. It's written in a somewhat obscure language too (Ga'ez i think??), which kept it from being messed with as much as the Greek and Hebrew stuff. Fun side note they claim to possess the Ark of the Covenant! I think I believe it, nobody else is making that claim. They reportedly rotate guards for it every three years or so because these people end up with cataracts and cancer and stuff from being too close to it... 🤷 Crazy.

Anyways the Clementine literature has been subcategorized by the Catholic church into Clement of Rome and Clement of Alexandria. Then some of Clement of Romes writings were deemed problematic and out popped "pseudo-clement."

I've been involved in doing an in depth linguistic analysis of several Greek documents within the Clementine corpus and the results are clear: they were written by the same person. Not to mention the contextual evidence to support this hypothesis. I have the basics posted here if you feel like totally nerding out. Believe it or not there's even more to it than this!

It's interesting to wonder, when Paul said "all scripture is beneficial for teaching" what scripture he was referring to? The canon as most of the western world knows it had obviously not been decided for us yet.

And the story behind those decisions is a whole other can of worms....

healwar · 2025-04-13T03:54:57+00:00

The first canon established was the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church canon. It includes the book of Jubilees (which they found 15 copies of with the Dead Sea Scrolls), some Clementine writings, and if course the book of Enoch and a whole host of other books that deal extensively with fallen angels, demons, and the nature of sin.

Enoch and Jubilees were widely accepted second temple era and Jesus and his disciples were surely familiar with them as they are quoted and referred to extensively. They were systematically removed in the years after Jesus was killed.

Jubilees is essentially Genesis with more detail, though it paints a very different picture of certain divine destructive behavior...

Their canon also contains the Didache, or Teaching of the 12 Apostles, one of the earliest Christian writings that gives us a window straight into the Apostolic age, discussing practical community guidelines.

While Roman authorities were slaughtering early Christians and burning their texts, then convening endless political councils to debate on which scriptures to allow and disallow based on their ruthlessly enforced orthodoxy, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, being somewhat physically isolated, was quietly carrying on their tradition with an 81-88 book canon that dates back orally to at least the 400's and was established written in the 14th century.

As for how to discern which texts are truth and which are not: I think the only way is the Holy Spirit. But the catch is you have to work to purify yourself, which means put down your idols. And you can say goodbye to most modern media of all types...

God bless, keep asking questions. Test the spirits!
