If we keep the debate trapped within the main Abrahamic religions:
Those books are just baby food for the masses. The ordained scholars keep a lot hidden. The truth in their view is still contained in the books but in its simplistic, easily digestible form for the unintelligent masses alongside some politically motivated writings. Some truths they deem too dangerous for the average Joe. It’s nursery stories mainly to explain more complex ideas.
Also, a man seems to have existed who was taught within this learned circle and wanted to reveal more to the masses but both ‘Jews’ and ‘Romans’ come together to kill him. His seemingly powerful message disappears, his name is changed and even the calendars are reset lol. Christianity and Islam are created by the same circle to give the masses choice
Who is so powerful on earth that they can kill “God/God’s son” simply for wanting to help people? What does that subliminal teaching do to your psyche? If you tried to spread good, what would they do to you ?
Nowadays a lot more is available online about the teachings beyond the scriptures but there are certain things you can only learn in person from another. I wouldn’t put too much weight on the technicalities of the available scriptures - it’s just an unsolvable puzzle
Lol, too much of a rant now but let me end with this side discussion: whoever taught Elijah Muhammad was also educated by these people with the hidden. A story taught that mankind was more advanced than we are now, thousands of years ago (some say 6000), and reached a stage of even creating other humans. When the gods returned to visit and saw this they punished them to be ruled by their creations. It takes years to be taught this crazy story and it seems similar to the NOI teaching
Like I said, this is all within the confines of of these religious books and their so called keepers of knowledge - it could all be nonsense.
In the end what does the detail of the background matter? Just elevate your perception and live good with your fellow creations, reading reality that’s all around you and passing your personal tests during your GTA mission on earth, before you take off the VR headsets and remember your real self
