Sorry, but this is just Paul's BS. Paul wrote a lot of BS. Lot's of churches now use this "emperor's new clothes" routine (fallacy) to fool idiots into believing nonsense. It's nothing more than gaslighting people. It is disingenuous and it's disgusting exegesis.
GOD says, "Come, let us reason together."
Regarding Paul, see: Christianity’s Counterfeit Jesus, Part 1
