Internal Conflicts

The questions the church didn't want you to ask out loud — and that Jesus had already answered. Each one is its own episode, free on YouTube with a 1-page breakdown PDF. Completed series become books in the library.

Series 1 — The Case for Separation

Detangling the New Testament from the Old for anyone raised on the bound book. James walks you through it with two friends — Eli and Miriam — using the gospels' own pages first, then turning the lens on the Old Testament itself.

The Tampering on the Page

Episode 2 · coming soon

Three places in the gospels where Jesus's quoted endorsement of Old Testament law is contradicted by Jesus's own actions a few verses later — the stomach, the heart, the stranger. Watch a single page disagree with itself three times, then look at the manuscript receipts.

The Falsely Chosen

Episode 3 · scheduled · debuts Eli

Flood myths older than Genesis — Gilgamesh, Atrahasis, Deucalion, Manu — and the contradictions inside Genesis itself. If the scribes curated which stories survived, they also curated which men God "chose." Wait until you see the family tree they protected.

Jesus's Bloodline of Bad Men

Episode 4 · scheduled

The family tree of the Prince of Peace runs through nearly every commandment the tribal god supposedly drowned the world for breaking — Abraham, Judah, David, Solomon. The tribal god looked away every time. The lineage isn't a flaw in the story; it's the proof of the thesis.

The Other Tribes Who Thought They Were Special

Episode 5 · scheduled

Every neighbor tribe of Israel had a god who told them they were chosen — your Bible only kept one of them. Moab's Mesha Stele, Akhenaten's Aten cult, the Kuntillet Ajrud inscription. "Chosen people" wasn't a revelation. It was the Ancient Near East default.

More episodes in the arc are in development. Get notified when each one ships.

Series 2 — The Lost Years

What the Gospel of Thomas, Mary, Philip, and Judas tell us about what Jesus learned between ages 12 and 30. Begins after Series 1's first 8-10 conflicts are live.

Series 3 — The 156-Week Chronicle

Every recoverable week of Jesus's three-year ministry, as James saw it. The channel's spine — begins after Series 1 establishes the audience.

Series 5 — The Twenty Days

Each of the twenty days between resurrection and ascension, one episode each. Easter-week season — Days 1-3 drop together on Easter Sunday, then weekly.

A future show · in the works

The Laws Jesus Broke

A whole show of its own, further down the road: one tribal law at a time, and the moment Jesus deliberately broke it — then the question of why the church spent two thousand years putting it back. A standing reminder of how much he set down on purpose.

  • He chose everyone, not a people.
  • He stopped a stoning Leviticus commanded.
  • He healed on the Sabbath.
  • He touched the unclean.
  • He forgave where the law condemned.
  • He refused the eye for an eye.
