[uh-oh]

what do you feel about the apochryphal gospels?

do you dismiss them since they werent canonised? ignorant of them? like them too?

let me in your brain

[veritas]

1. The authorized king James bible is the legit word of God
2. God inspired men to write it...he wrote it thru them.
3. You could read it all day amd everyday for your whole life and still not scratch the surface. It is alive.
4. Thr apocryphal books which I have read are watered down amd contradictory. They are obv not inspired.
5. The book of enoch is legit outside info as it is referenced in the Bible a few tines and is fascinating.


Warning: if you try and turn this into a spirit troll I will damage you.


Proceed.

surprised at your hard-and-fast stance!

while I def. agree there is more lie than truth in the 'add-ons', what truth can be found is pretty profound in terms of some of the more esoteric sides of his preaching, no?

The Bible says that if there was to be talks of all the things Jesus did, the libraries of the world would not be able to contain it all. The point is, what we have in the Bible is more than enough. it is alive. It grows with you....or you grow into it more accurately.

there is a difference in knowledge and Gospel. and some of the knowledge in the apocrapha aint Gospel.

The Bible does mention a few add-ons, such as the Book of Enoch which is fascinating.

i hear you

whoever mentioned Constantine made me think of 'some' of the arbitrary nature of what was included/excluded in the 'official' version...

but along the lines of what you said re: the growth with you/etc., I do believe the truth echoes from within, so i never get hung up on the fact....

but hey, sometimes i think it takes a 'mary magdalene' gospel to bridge the gap to a greater path.

I definitely have an affinity for Thomas though to be honest -- but I get where there are concerns with how it could be interpretted.

[veritas]

but have you ever studyied the Bible?

[veritas]

[uh-oh]

hmm. what are your thoughts on constantine? when I get off work ill be able to engage more

[millz]

If the book of Enoch is legit why are so many Christians upset with the watchers being in the new film Noah?

[Wise Wiggles]

Because Noah was a homosexual and he brought his boy toy on that boat instead of a bitch.

aight

what are your thoughts on constantine, the man/saint, do you feel he deserves his status as a saint, and or do you know much about him?

also how do you feel about the translations, do you think the king james bible would be better if it was translated direct from the aramaic it was originally written in, since we understand that language as well as they did when they translated it to greek? im pretty sure the king james bible of today went through something like, original texts-greek-latin-german-then english, maybe even more.

let me get to what you replied tho

ok, you say that the apocryhal or however you spell it, gospels are watered down, yet, we have them in there original texts. you claim the king james bible is perfect, but would it not be more watered down since it has gone through numerous translations, where as the apocryphal gospels are still original?

Rep hush for that flash of brilliance

Uh oh....make that last paragraph make sense then get back to me.


If I have a thousand year old document in mint condition versus a thousand year old document that is all torn up and I have to decide which is legit I will go with the tore up one.

See if you can figure out why.

Also the knowledge of the present KING JAMES is available to anyone who has an open mind to see how it is preserved

I reccomend you actuallt study it before you play games trying to debase it however.

word im not trying to debase it, just opening a discussion

what i was saying with my final paragraph is, wouldnt a gospel, written in the language it originated, be less watered down, than a gospel that has been translated 5 times from its original language?

but yo, did you know that scholars of the day thought the greek translation itself was an abomination and the most sacriligeous shit ever? back in whatever BC

one of the things changed for example, is mary being a virgin. she was actually a "maiden" which only meant young woman, they had a word for virgin, and would have used it if thats what they intended.

that is just one of an insane amount of things lost in translation

and think about this

that was lost from the FIRST translation. from aramaic to greek.

what was lost/changed when it went from greek to latin? what about latin to german? and so on.

another interesting tidbit. in the original texts, they don't number the "wise men" they basically say "some" wise men show up with gifts, and they arent "wise men" they are maegi

which i take to mean wizards.

thats just my personal belief however.

[millz]

You discredit one text for being contradictory but don't see any of that in the bible at all?
