They finally stopped running this psyop but here were the purposes of them. If they had succeeded, it would have made all our lives much harder because everyone would think of us as dumb ass flat earthers.

If people think of us as dumb flat earthers, they would not believe them when we tell them the Gov is involved in conspiracy against the People.

Deep State live underground in caverns. They don't want us to know there are good and bad civilizations in inner Earth. The bad ones are Reptilians running very evil and Satanic things underground. The good ones are good people who are so advanced, they were just waiting for us to catch up to the civilized level and we are there now so they want to connect.

The more bs people believe in, the harder life gets and they want us to have a hard life.
Which Bible? the Bible before 1684 contained 80 books and current editions only have 66, and we have to wonder what exact purpose the removal of 14 books would serve if what you're saying "all of it is correct"?
What does that exactly mean? which denomination: Catholicism, Protestant, Anglican/Episcopal, Assembly of God, Lutheran, Methodist or Pentecostal.
Would you mind listing these holes.
PMFJI: Since 367, Christians have agreed that there are 66 protocanonical books with full inspiration and that there are many supplemental books that are also useful. Ever since oral tradition was first transmitted millennia before, there was always a recognition of the difference between inspired tradition and contextual commentary; this difference was manifested in the difference between the Law of Moses and the ongoing "living-oracles" application of it by covenant communities; it became clearly manifest when the Greek books ("OT Apocrypha") began circulating alongside the Hebrew books, at which time the Jewish tradition was that those books that hadn't (yet) been received by the community as having full authority were of a secondary level; and the Christian practice followed the same procedure, allowing the secondary books (including "NT Apocrypha") to remain but without recognizing them as having the full inspiration of the protocanon. It was only at the Council of Trent (1540s-1560s) that the deuterocanon was defined for the West (not the full 80), and I don't know when the larger Orthodox canon was defined for the East, or the slightly larger Ethiopian canon was defined; but all of these continued the millennia-old recognition that only books that survived the testing of centuries by the covenant community were the fully inspired ones.
Protestants agreed with keeping the deuterocanon until the Revised Version controversy of the 19th century, at which point many texts from the protocanon were attacked and over time the entire deuterocanon was stripped away. Protestants recognized they could still survive without any Apocrypha, and Catholic and Orthodox continued their previous policy unchanged.
Your article uses the year 1684 as part of a theory that something was done for removal in that year but there is no evidence of anything significant happening in that year. I trust you're interested in facts here rather than fact-free imaginative narratives, right?
"Biblical Christianity" means any denomination of Christianity that lives up to its goal of using the Bible alone (transcribed and translated) as God's revealed written message. We practice unity in essentials, liberty in nonessentials, and charity in all.
I'll be happy to talk emanation with you in more detail if someone puts specifics forward. Generically, "emanation" is not a true or false concept in itself, it's how the concept is used to define realities that matters. "Emanat" appears in the Vulgate of James 3:11, translating "bryo" meaning "send forth" or "gush", which is related to "embryo".
A quick look at you replies and turns out this is your favorite phrase "there is no evidence". I could say the same thing about everything you claim it's factual. Nothing stops me from doing so.

In other words, the Empire has approved.
So, you and guywholikesDjtof2024 are one and the same. Same person, or same team that is.
Who else on this platform is part of your team?
LOL! Are you on Tylenol??
Well, I use "no evidence" when (a) it cuts against the history I learned (b) the source gives no backup and (c) reasonably diligent search for comparable evidence turns up nothing; for instance there were a couple new Bibles that year but they were all Protestant. I know people abuse counterarguments here, but good arguments do stand on their own.
Yes, you have it right that the Ethiopian church (as I indicated) has the broadest definition of Scripture, and you're looking at an ad that includes a ton of Apocrypha. I use the Charlesworth edition for critical commentary, which includes the 100 most cited apocrypha and pseudepigrapha beyond the deuterocanon, and when necessary I use online Apocrypha. Nothing was deliberately "hidden" about these for the most part; a couple were stupid enough that local governments censored them, but those incidents are minor. It's just that they never obtained the credibility in the first place that the Scriptures obtained over time.
The covenant community is the believers in the Christ of any era (originally known as the Seed of the Woman and finally revealed to be Jesus). The work of the covenant community in recognizing Scripture was essentially complete before its imperial rapprochement of the 320s. All this work can be tested by ordinary methods of truth. u/guywholikesDjtof2024 identifies as a Biblical Christian, as I do, and it's relatively obvious who those are here because we don't hide our identification unlike others; we announce it and allow others to test it. Christians are a "team" I suppose by definition of having all submitted to the person and teaching of Jesus, but that means we can operate independently still knowing the same core. Your familiarity with Christian doctrine indicates you should know this too: I presume that, as you advance gnostic concepts, you're not unfamiliar with the fact that multiple people can be promoting the same message with one heart.
If you wish to continue adopting the role of asking pertinent questions and accepting our patient answers, that's fine too. When you start criticizing, it's appropriate to propose alternatives. Since you reject imperialism as a source of truth (and I'd agree), how could one determine what is true other than by whether it agrees with reality as objectively determinable by the average person? If we are committed to pursue truth at all costs (and who would refuse that), then various proposals for sources of truth can be compared, whether they are individual experience of Logos, an external Golden Rule or set of Commands, or a revelatory message or book. Presumably you don't wish to complain just for complaining's sake, but instead you have a positive suggestion for humanity that you prefer and would propose?
