I’m not discounting the veracity of the memes of the Bible. I’m doubting that it’s an original copy of the text. The council of Nicaea specifically removed certain testaments from the “New Testament”. Therefore, we do not have an historically accurate representation of historical events. It gets even squishier when you acknowledge the same characters and stories about said characters are were documented several millennia prior to the writings of the Torah.
You shouldn't read the bible like you would a billboard.......You'd be amazed by how even the chapters and verse numbers of the Bible have special meaning....not just the words.... even though they were added later on. In the old testament which was written in Hebrew.....each letter has a symbol, and a number and they have meaning too. In fact the first line of the bible establishes the end. Here is an interesting video a guy made about that. https://youtu.be/RmnUkNT55gU check it out...
No, sorry buddy. The text described in Old Testament is rip off of Sumerian and Babylonian and Vedic texts that predate the Torah by millennia. There’s absolutely no way around that.
You must differentiate between the message of the Old Testament and the New Testament because they’re separated by at least thousands of years.
No need to be condescending..... Child sacrifice was fairly common with the Sumerians and Babylonians. As well as some other disgusting practices....not exactly shinning lights of virtue....I'm sure they were capable of lying just like our own historians....(how accurate have they been?). Some of what they wrote does line up with the Bible.....they use different names (well similar)....because that's how names translate sometimes.....You're free to believe what you want.....For me I would rather trust Jesus's version of history first and then see how much of their writings line up with the Truth. But that's all I have to say about this.....
Jesus wrote the New Testament? Jesus spoke at length about the events in Genesis? Jesus spoke of the Elohim, Noah, Enoch, Yaweh? You're still ignoring the fact that the old testament is a rip off.
