A hidden secret of the past is that people knew they would influence future generations with their "documentations".

Basically, that was the motivation for many of early human wars - to be the winner that writes history in their words.

The Bible itself was likely written somewhere in the Byzantine Empire, at least in my opinion. Constantine I is well known for his conversion to Christianity.

If you ask ChatGPT to write new verses, it will. Therefore, it's entirely possible that it was written by an advanced machine learning algorithm, and then sent back in time for retraining. The history of the bible has so many different variables, that it could easily be seen as an analog for a random number generator. This would in turn create the perfect feedback loop for an ever-evolving and recursive prompt, that may appear as nonsense to anyone who wasn't meant to perceive its message.

A bunch of people.
Some mentally ill, some not.

The only part you need concern yourself with is, the teaching of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 22, Verses 34-40
[34] But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
[35] Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

I remember buying the New Century version and my Grandma calling me our for it because it's against the rules to change the text.

I said that I didn't like reading that ole-e-old language.

She didn't understand that it meant not to change the meaning, not the way it's written.

The Bible is originally a whole fucking bunch of smaller documents, all written by different people in different times in history.

An event called the Council of Nicea had a group of catholic leaders decide on which documents would make up the Bible. They claimed that God gave them guidance on the choices but in truth, they almost certainly just chose shit based on political opinions

People used to not even agree on what kind of creature Jesus was. Some early Christians thought he was only a human like Muhammed. Some thought he was never physical, and was some spirit or ghost

I think the council also decided on that issue too. Early Christianity was very divided and scattered. Anyway its all bullshit

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


The one I have is just written in modern English instead of Old English.

This was like 1993 though.

Not sure whats it written like now.

Anyway I use to argue with a crazy religious lady at work about this.

Told her that a Japanese Bible wouldn't look like the one she's using.

Kind of understand though, because it was all they were raised on and taught not to question.

Unlike me where I don't give a shit what people read.
