The Bible is actually a pretty interesting book.

[3rdWorld]

They didn't believe in a lot of the apocryphal language in those books. A lot of those books weren't written by the people who the book is named after. Some were written in the Second Temple period after the events they are talking about.

They were trying to put books in the bible that they could trace back to the author. Enoch was not written by Enoch. It was written by Jewish scholars back in the Second Temple period. They were trying to give the history of Israel, through the eyes of people that lived in the time, up until the time of Jesus and his disciples.

Most biblical events didn't even take place in Israel. The bible was reconstructed to eliminate any and all traces of Africa and present it as something more palatable to Europeans and Jews. No different to the Vatican having Michaelangelo paint traditional biblical characters as white and no longer Black.

I’m a history (governmental world powers) guy so the Book of Daniel is my all time favorite.

I'm not trying to convince you. You will believe what you want to. The history is there. Go and study it. Everything ain't black and white though. That's a very American way of looking at the situation. People here are too affected/emotional about the history of slavery in the U.S. and it affects people's view on history. The Roman Catholic Church is also wrong in a lot of things they do. They mixed pagan rituals into what they call Christianity. Of course they would make bible figures look like them.

Dont have this convo on here. Dudes on here will quote the hell out of Scripture and be in actual hell in their real life. But come on here talking about how they interpret it the right way. This website aint the place for truth

The "God" in the old testament is actually the "devil."

Let that marinate.

Would you be a slave under those circumstances?

Do you currently work for white people? How many revolutions have you started recently?

I don't follow any kind of organized spiritual system. I take pieces from different ones and do my own thing.
