OK, I listened to the whole thing, and just wow, what a steaming pile.  Here it is, in a nutshell (are you sitting down?):  Peter was a Jewish mole, a volunteer of the Jewish elite who would steer Christianity far enough away from Messianic Judaism that Jewish fathers would once again know who was safe for their daughters to marry. It gets worse.  Peter invented Classical Latin.  Which is bad enough.  But he can't even get the time frame right. This in keeping with furthering the gap between Christianity and Judaism. Oy Vey.  This is largely built on a medieval book that was circulating called Tolodet Yeshu (which Denburg translates as Chronicles of Jesus).  It started the medieval equivalent of a flame war.  It has many false and derogatory statements about Jesus, dislocations in time, conspiratorial explanations of events.  Oh, and double agent Peter cuts a deal with his fellow Tannin that in his role as Peter the Christian he can break all kinds of Jewish laws and be absolved of all wrongdoing in the afterlife, presumably for the noble intent of saving Judaism from Christianity.  

So no, Denburg has nothing to say that should interest anyone on either side of our ongoing debate.  IMHO.  He links one unsupported supposition together with another, then another, then throws in a few shocking, outlandish ideas that supposedly emerge from all the connecting of spurious dots, but in the hard cold light of rigorous analysis he has nothing but meaningless non sequiturs to show for all his efforts.  I feel badly for the people who listen to him.  Fortunately, his YouTube audience appears to be very small.

Peace,

SR

And that’s what Catholics posit as a source to support their position??????

Thanks for the heads up and the support in the next post. I am sorry you had to sit through something this intolerable.
