What it claims
In a 2018 post, blogger epistleofdude argues the 'Christ oil' claim is wrong.He points out that linking 'Peniel' to 'pineal' is an etymological error.Peniel is Hebrew for 'seeing the face of God,' while pineal is Latin for 'pine cone.' He explains that cerebrospinal fluid is not an oil but a liquid closer to blood plasma.He explains that this fluid is produced not by the pineal gland but by the choroid plexus in the brain's ventricles.
How the post is built
There are no images.It splits into two sections: biblical misreading and medical misreading.The medical section is numbered 1, 2, 3, refuting the nature, origin, and path of cerebrospinal fluid one by one.
How it connects
He calls the claim a 'modern-day Gnosticism' because it demands access to hidden knowledge.
