Does anybody know about this guy and his ideas? He explains how Christianity is just a mystery religion and related to magick rites and how there was a lot of drugs, sex and rituals and that there are "blinds" in the bible similar to how there's blinds in the PGM
His theory on Hebrew being Greek is also supported by a Jewish linguist who wrote the book "Hebrew is Greek" in the 1980s.
I started watching his Youtube videos in the spring of 2024. Danny Jones had him on for a really great interview and I was hooked. I had been questioning the validity of the bible for some time and had decided to use Hillman's ideas as a way of deep-diving into the details of early church history. The bible needed to be inerrent if i was going to continue to believe it.
"Hillman was born to
parents in

and
. He completed a BA in classics at the

He pursued graduate study at the

pharmacy.
His 2004 UW–Madison dissertation,
Representations of Pharmacy in Roman Literature from Cato to Ovid, treated pharmacology in Roman texts.

Much of his ideas stem from
Bibliotheca Historica (Bibliotheca Historica (; : Βιβλιοθήκη Ἱστορική, Bibliothḗkē Historikḗ), also known as the Historical Library or Library of History, is a work of by . It consisted of forty books, which were divided into three sections.).
a quick outline:
1. The first savior was a Bronze-age woman named Medea (from the Argonautica). She used her body and drugs to make medicine and poison and healed people.
2. Medea created rites that involved sex, drugs, magic ect. for the purpose of helping mankind. These include The Mystery Rites as well as healing rites.
3. These rites were adopted into other cultures where they were corrupted for personal pleasure.
4. The books of the Hebrew bible were originally written in Greek like everything else at the time. (like a side note lol)
5. There was a renaissance around the time of the gospels and the most popular Mystery Rite was the Jesus Christ. It was a drug. You took the ingredients and formed a paste that was applied to the eyes or sphincter. The details are disgusting. It involved child abuse. Paul the apostle was constantly telling the early church to knock it off.
6. The other books/letters/gospels are read alongside "accepted" documents to help paint this picture.
In a nutshell. The idea that Greek was the original language of the Masoretic Text is interesting to me because there is a such an uproar about even the idea being true. He says the Dead Sea Scrolls were being translated from Greek into Hebrew and that's why very little Greek existed in the caves... it was priceless...the Hebrew was left behind.
I'm no expert just dropping what I've seen and heard.
