This video is going to sting bad for old Bart Araman. We call him blind Bart, right? Because, you know, we got a name for Ducktail Dan and run Kip Run. Well, poor blind Bart here does not know the difference between a seditionist, which means an insurrectionist, and a lace, which means a predator that does what? Plunders and spoils

And gets its booty by force. Brutal. A brutal marauder is what is what a lace tastes is. And Jesus said in Gethsemane, why are you coming at me like I am a brutal plunderer? That is what Jesus said. Even though Bart denies that as I'll show you in a second very very clearly. So I was motivated to do a video earlier today because I saw I noticed that the Bible hub changed its description of lace taste. So, I did this video earlier today and I based it

Upon well the video that I saw earlier on on Danny Jones Patreon where I found this I found that out. So, here we are live on YouTube now and we're going to zoom in on what on what old Bard said here. So this is what Bart is telling Danny because he asked him about uh the word creo or Christos and he and and so Bart's like dismissing it all and says you got to go and get what's called the LSJ the little the little the Liddell

And Scott lexicon. Where do you get it from? He says it right here. I think I have it down here. He says you can go online and it's here right here like lsj.com. So what does he tell us about that? He tells us every it gives us definitions of every Greek word and how they were used. So in this video like all my other videos I am going to show you uh language from the lexicon and also from the interlinear bible which also um Aramman invoked on the Danny Jones

Podcast. So we should do a quick a quick move into Christos for a second. There you go. So here you can see them looking at you can see right here LSJ and they're looking up Christos. So Bart is like looking at this like he's never seen it before like he's never seen it before. And you know when he said lsj.com you know he's never been online before. So this is Perseus Greek word study tool which I've been using ever since I learned about it maybe like August of uh 2024. So

Whatever that is less than a year and I mean anyway so I'm going to do a long video and demonstrate that Bard has no clue what Christos means but for the time being what I'm going to show you he said on the I'd be surprised if the word Christos creo was used before uh the Septuagen came about. So here you can see this is Uripides hippo hippolitis hippolutus however you say it 450 BC here's theocritis theocritus talking about the encrist encrytos said where do you put

The Christos inus of thamus which is exactly the language used in revelation which means three or whatever 400 years earlier it was being used in the ancient Greek pharmarmacon which which this guy has no notion of. So this is actually remember he said I'd be surprised if it was used before you know the septuagent well this is the bath of palace however you say it and look what it says here Athena there we go Athena does not like to do unwent mixed unwent alabaston christings

Creatas but Hercules does and here he does he does kristi or kitis so you can see this is long before the septuagent the the the stories about Hercules and the rest of the Greek gods. So, we know that this dude has literally no orientation when it comes to the Bible, the New Testament, and he's a New Testament scholar. Princeton grad. Can you imagine? So, this is from a February. So, this is three months ago I did this video, an alabastron update. So, you can see here, this is Mark 14. We know this is when the sinful woman, I think it

Was, she arrived, right? Alabast bread in the flask. Here's the flask again with muru. Muron. This is a fragrant oil. So you can see it would be how would it be applied? Misai. Morisai, right?

Monicai. Morisai right here. Moritoso. Here you get Misai from now. Watch this. Aristophanes Heroditus lived at 450 BC according to the to the record. This is 500 years before the sinful woman brought the alabaster flask to Jesus for him to be Mortai. So can you see how these Bible scholars are utterly clueless about the language in the Bible in the context of the original well in the con of the original language and this guy Aaron brags about reading Greek every day. Man, it's unbelievable. Aristoph a little, you know, for a bit of a joke

Here. Aristophanes. This is going to be well to me it's hilarious. This is uh from the odd couple when when I forget this. Felix. Yeah, Felix. Right. So, Felix, I think that's a Felix guy, right? He's doing they're on a game show and he he uses the the word Aristophanes and he's like, "What the hell's Aristophanes?" So, the next word was ridiculous. So, Jack Plugman is like, "Aristophanes?" And then Felix answer was ridiculous. And then the wing, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Remember that? It's beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful. Well, for poor Bart, unfortunately, this is a situation for Bart. He is in a Sergeant Schulz moment. Is he going to continue being blind or will he accept his apocalypse? Because we all go through apocalypses as we go through life. Most people have no notion that they're even going through it or they deny it when it happens. So you can see the problem with old Bart here. You can see four 500 years before Jesus was Murit Modicide, right?

Moditz in Bethany. 500 years before that, Aristophanes and Heroditus were talking about being mod with an alabastron flask 500 years before. So you can see these guys have no idea about this. It's amazing. So here we are again. Here we are again. So, this is what I'm going to show in my in my Christos video to help poor old Bart who's never seen the online LSJ before. I mean, what an embarrassment. So, here is the word or the verb creo. Kai ro

Iota omega creo. I don't really say it right, but it's not creo. Creo. So, we're going to click on creo and I'm going to show you right now the precise definition. Now, this poor guy, this poor guy thinks that Christos and Creo somehow came from Messiah. I mean, it's an embarrassment to even say this out loud. I can't believe it. So, this goes back to,200 BC according to the record. Here you are, Bart. Check it out. Click on Creo. Seeo. Yeah. What does it mean? Touch surface. Touch

Surface. Rub surface. Rub surface, paint surface, color smear surface, wound surface. Creo simply means a surface application. It means nothing about anointing or anointed one. This guy says that he reads Greek every day and he's been a professor of Bible studies for 40 years and the man doesn't know what creo means. This is unbelievable. I never thought I'd witness this in my life. So, we go to Acts 19:40. We're going to get back into the lace language here. Yeah. What I just showed you was the Christo

Stuff. Oh, yeah. He's going to be he's going to have a Christing experience tonight with Helman, I suspect. And I'm going to give him one. I don't know whenever I get whenever I get to it. So, this is the word for insurrection, right? Stacasios or stasos.

You know, again, I I do a poor Cllingon version of this, but you can see here insurrection in the English is called rioting. So, Stacios, insurrection, rioting. Okay. So, if what what you can do is you can click on stasios and you get right to it. You can see why I went elsewhere. Stacios. Stacasios. You can see so it shows up how many times? Nine times. Different spellings than the ancient in the ancient Greek. This is, you know, the the coin as it's called. Okay. So, Estasio shows up. So, this is insurrection. This is insurrection.

Okay. So, now Jesus tells us or we are told in Matthew 26:14 in the Greek Jesus says, "Why you're coming at me like I'm a lace or robber is the mistransation." And then we see it again here in Mark. Again, robber mistransation. So, it's not it's not a robber and it's certainly not someone running a rebellion. Now, when I grew up, I always learned that this the word was rebellion cuz I never thought of insurrection. I mean, I learned about this when I was 12. It's like listening

To Bart and the rest of the Myth Vision clowns. It's like listening to 40 to 80 year old men repeat what I was told when I was 12 years old. It's that that unsophisticated and faking truly embarrassing. Listen to these clowns. So, we go right and so we go from we click on lace 10. You can say lace 10 and it shows up 15 times. Here you can see Mark 14. Why are you coming at me like I am a lace taste? There's Matthew 26 and then Luke as well. So you can see robber, thief,

Robber, thief. Okay. So is that accurate? And of course the answer is no. Not even close to being accurate. So, this was the video I did this morning, which was a followup to one I did back in January 28th, where the Bible hub described the cultural and historical background of Lasace. They operated in groups. They attacked travelers were uh attacking travelers and caravans. And they're crucified. The Roman authorities went after these these characters. Okay? And we're told back then the two dudes crucified on the other side of Jesus were lay states.

They were these predator bandit dudes. So we go into the and this comes this was from u on the Patreon side of Danny Jones. I'm sure he's not going to bother. I did it's no exact same thing. Right. So bard and I'll show you more detail in a couple seconds and blow it up. But he's just all about the insurrectionist word. And the word insurrectionist doesn't even appear in any of the English versions that I've read and I've kind of looked through a whole bunch of them. We're going to focus on this right now. This is going

To really cause Bart some dry alabaster pain most likely. Okay. So, look what we're told. And this is again Bart is looking at this. This is Bart looking down and this is on the screen that he and Danny are both looking at. And you can look at it on the YouTube version right now if you wish. So this is what it says. So robber Greek word lace which of course is way more complicated than that. But what does it mean? It's a plunderer. So a lace tase is a plunderer

A brigand someone who does not care and just will take advantage of anybody the vulnerable go right after them. So that's the lace tase. And then there's a word for insurrection insurrectionist. And there's a word for murderer. So, Barabus was a lace taste and a here we

Stasiastone and a murderer. You know, I'll show you all those words in a couple seconds. But Bart, look at this. Insurrectionist. Insurrectionist. Insurrectionist. Insurrectionist. They put him on trial for being an an insurrectionist. Doesn't say that anywhere. Anywhere. Doesn't say that. So let's look. I'll come back to this in a couple seconds because I need to show you the language used for Barabus. So here you have Mark 15 and John 18. Now this is when a lace taste is an insurrection. Now look how in look look how you know this is not

Very well you'll see quite disingenuous as I show you here. So this is John 18. If you hover over lace, you'll get this. A robber a brigant from leay. Lei I forget if I show you that or not. I'm going to show you in a couple seconds if I didn't already. Le that's what you get lace tastes from. Lei to to take as booty. So here you have underneath lace tastes insurrectionist. And here you have what it is a booty taking brigant.

Same exact verse in the interlinear Bible. The definitions vary. So that's why you want to go into the LSJ as Dr. Bart Arman told us. So here we go over to Mark 15 and what do we see? We see that Barabus, so we know he's a lace taste. And here in Mark 15, we are told that he is an insurrectionist and a murderer. So Barabbus was a lace tase, a violent criminal, predator, brigant. He was an insurrectionist and a murderer. How does Bart Aramman not know that these words mean different things? It's

Like dude is so friaking blind. So this is Mark 14 English. Am I leading a rebellion? This is Mark 14:48. Greek lees. No, not even the slightest hint of the word rebellion or insurrection is even there to consider. So here you can see what guys look at this stas how do you say this now look at this stas st however gez I'm struggling to look at this word now stason

Stasiastes that's one who stirs up stirs up sedition so you can see I look at these words like I'm illiterate right but I'm not idiot like Mark for like acts 4:13 Greek it was recognized it was written in that the priest priest realized in their minds that Peter and John were idiot. They were illiterate

Ignorammes. You know, we who are going through this, we're just illiterate because we're going to look at the words and not make up. So, that's why I struggle with these words. So, this is lace. Much easier. Here's leay. So, you lace is what? The plunderer comes from lei, which is what to seize as booty. To carry off as prey. Ooh, that's pretty

Scary. Sorry, a little bit of allergy business and who wants to do these kind of videos anyway, right? So, you can see a lace taste is not even close to being a seditionist or an insurrectionist. So, let's look right in here. And where do we see Stasiasone showing up in the Bible? One place and one place only. Mark 15:7 in the context of Barabus. Nowhere is Jesus described in the Greek. Sorry, I don't want to stop this video. I'm sorry about that. No, nowhere is he described as an insurrectionist.

That is in the minds of these poor suffering Bible scholars. Poor things. So we go back to because because we need to focus on the language more carefully now. That's something that is that is really you see the word insurrectionist right not true in terms of lace tastes. So we're going to blow this up. Now this of course I got from was it bibleinfo.com and so you can see we are told the punishment for theft as an ecleptase is repaying the victim many times the value crucifixion is only used

If the theft occurs in a religious or royal building. So for Jesus case it would be the temple right? You're going to see he committed a crime in the temple. He didn't kill anybody but he committed a crime in the temple. And this is how the redefinition was for lace tastes or or the modification at Bible hub. Quite embarrassing. So let's look at this again. So if you're talking about I shouldn't say again I should say new here. We're going to add too like if you're a lace and a plunderer you know

The head lace who would you like hire on? You go for the hammart. And who are the homartilos? These are the especially wicked individuals who are stained with vices, crimes, stained, right? Unrepentable. These are the unrepentable, devoted to sin. So, a lace tastes going to want to have these guys as part of their, you know, as their crew. Unfortunately, pe Jesus crew were Hartos. Here has here's how you know it. In Luke 5'8, Peter tells Jesus, "I am

Homartilos. I am a stained unrepentable sinner." What does Jesus say? No problem. No problem. Non anthropos

Zog. That sounded so clinging on, didn't it? You are zog. You'll be catching. What does zon mean? To take alive. To take captive instead of killing. Just like happened in numbers 31 where general Moses via the instru from the instructions of of Yahweh told his soldiers to kill everyone every Midionite kill every one of them except virgin girls for them you zogon look it up you he they were zon the Bible's one big zone event in many ways so now little asterisk here right so take alive

Instead of killing except when Peter killed Ananas and Sapphira in Acts 5 because he didn't give them every single penny of the prophet for the house that they sold. Isn't that amazing? So you can see that Jesus' disciples were by definition in the Bible criminals. They're

Harty. So if you look at what Myth Vision did back, how long ago was this? back in January when they went after Hillman about lays. Now, yeah, if you go some of my videos, I I I called Hillman out, so I'm not like a a Hillman follower. I follow the Greek, right? That's how you do it, man. You follow the Greek like Bart Arman, follow the uh the uh well, in his case, the the historical accuracy, not the Greek. So we are told in Mark 14:26 or Mark 14,

Matthew 26 and Luke 22. Each time Jesus is say why are you coming at me like I am a lace ten lace tace. So the word lace 10 lace tace shows up 15 times in the new testament. Don't know about the old testament new testament 15 times. So this video where I titled feasting on myth vision, they bring in this cross Bible dude who who who goes into lucian and they because Hillman is is saying that that that lace means child trafficker. These guys are freaked out

About that. So they say no it doesn't mean child trafficker. It means lace means fraud charlatan. One who prophesizes and stages miracles. Now Mark 64 64 is when he was accused of sort of accused of that by the locals in uh I forget where it was. It was Nazareth maybe. So the lace taste exploits the vulnerable involved in prostitution. Murder is a bragant. So this is how myth vision has ob defined for us in great detail what a lace is. Do you see the word uh

Insurrectionist there? No. Because it's not it's not it's not part of it. A lace tase is a violent criminal. So as a violent criminal lace, you would want to have sinful, especially wicked men to be in your be in your gang. This is looking so bad for you, Bart. And it's going to get worse like right now. And we're almost done with this video, but it's going to get worse right now because you had no idea about any of this, obviously. So this is Jesus cleansing

The temple right now. Who who did he cleanse? He cleansed innocent cashiers. He class he he he cleansed right abused the innocent dove sellers from Leviticus. They're part of natural temple activity. The dove sales we are told are for the sacrifices. They're inexpensive. So poor people can participate in temple sacrifices because doves are cheap. Jesus banned that for a week, right? the entire week before he was crucified. He trashed the cashier so the temple couldn't do business. He trashed the dove sellers and wouldn't let the individuals and the women carrying

Vessels of incense around which is part of also temple practice. And what did Jesus do as he was doing this? He was calling them lace tent. He was calling them lace tastes. He was calling innocent people lace tastes worthy of crucifixion. Now how did Jesus handle the entire you know that week presumably right because I mean it's a madeup story anyway but how would it work? Well as the 12 disciples were always with Jesus and remember sons of thunder. Yeah they're a part of the takeover

Operation. So we see in Mark 11:18, this is why the chief priests and the teachers wanted him killed because he was playing bad Pinocchio. We only know good Pinocchio Jesus, who is fantastic, by the way. The good Pinocchio story of Jesus is wonderful. This yoke is what every near-death experiencer does when they come back after the near-death experience. They auto automatically yoke up like this, which is no different than what the blue fairy told Pinocchio to do. But again, back to that reference from bibleeref.com. Crucifixion is only used

If the theft occurs in a religious building. Well, this is a religious building, wouldn't you say? So, this is why it seems that the high priest went after him. Wasn't for that. I remember also remember also he was asked shortly after I think it I forget if it was it was actually in John where he was asked by one of the one of the priests or the priest's assistants like what is your teaching and he says I was teaching in the temple all week long blah blah blah

And he got slugged right because this is what he was doing all week long he he he uh he took over it like you know like like the gang took over so the guard slugged Jesus right now run was like you know indignant about this like how dare you I was teaching the temple all week. Well he was asked what did you teach your disciples because remember also from Acts 4:13 we know that after Jesus

Died Peter John the whole crew were still illiterate ignoramises according to the actual text. So, what was Jesus teaching his disciples if he wasn't teaching them how to read and write for this? We get to go. You ready for Bart? This is gonna sting so bad, Bart. God. Remember, so for me, I It's It's a story book. It's got an awesome great Pinocchio story and an evil Pinocchio. Here comes brutally evil Pinocchio. This is not a canonized book for a good reason. Are you ready? This is from the Acts of Philip. This is the Greek that you can get from Perseus and

The Scafy viewer. So this is 120 to 123. Verse one verse 123. Look at this. This is when uh Philillip and Bartholomew and Philip's sister Mariamnne were in Heropoulos. So the people of Heropoulos, the people and the priests of Heropoulos came and demanded

Vengeance on the sorcerers. Why? Look, they were fornicating. They're called fornicating magician sorcerers. Did you know that? Yeah. So Jesus disciples were being accused of being evil mag. Evil magi. Putting the people of Heropolis into a bakic frenzy. separating men from husband and wife and engaging in fornication with the wives. That is why the priests and the people came forth and demanded vengeance on the sorcerers. How's that, Bart? How's that for an apocalypse, Bart? How's that? Now, meanwhile, Meanwhile, as horrific as this is for true believers, this is what I will say. I'm going to do a video

On this, and I'll leave you with this image. Uh, and I'm gonna I'll leave you with this image right now because I'll be doing a video on this shortly. But you can see though Bart

Airman, what are you going to do, Bart? You're going to see nothing. Keep your eyes closed. What are you going to do? And no matter what you do, Bart, I know you don't believe, Bart, but guess what? The Bible is 100% accurate for everyone, Bart. Right? This is an apocalypse for you, Bart. You should take it seriously.
