Inhaling Smoke? Expelling Fire? What if the Bible’s earliest stories don’t describe what we’ve been taught about God? Former Archdeacon Paul Wallis reveals all! Join Ancient Knowledge Academy 👉 https://www.skool.com/ancientknowledgeacademy Learn with Paul Wallis - live mentoring, courses, and a global community of seekers. In this episode, Paul Wallis explores passages from Leviticus, Kings, and Jeremiah - accounts where “God” demands smoke, consumes offerings with fire, and destroys those who disobey. Why would God need burnt offerings? Why would a loving Creator strike people down with fire? Who were the “Elohim,” “Asherah,” and the “Saba Hassamayim” the prophets spoke of? Could these texts preserve memories of ancient encounters later retold as divine? Paul Wallis invites you to look again at the Bible’s moral and historical clues — the stories that survived editing and translation, hinting at something older than religion itself.
