Personally, I found the video very interesting, and you might have the same opinion, after watching it.
Just like the Christian Bible has undergone some changes by authorities, of the time, so surely has the Torah no doubt, when it reflects self-serving stories of genocide, for example.

Cyd Ropp presents a pre-Nicene view of Christmas, and it is one of many, but one that does not serve the interests of the Roman Emperor. In the early Christian Churches, there was a stream of teaching that the intention of Jesus incarnating as a human baby, and living, then dying as a human, was to find the path of harmony of human forms and Divine Consciousness, so that other humans could follow that same path, and live as both Divine and human, as he had worked out.
