MJ Only Jubilees is Torah According to 4Q266

HARK! said:

Can you name one book of the Bible which has not been corrupted in some way?

(CLV) Jn 16:13
Yet whenever that may be coming—the spirit of truth—it will be guiding you into all the truth, for it will not be speaking from itself, but whatsoever it should be hearing will it be speaking, and of what is coming will it be informing you.



I'm not sure why you would assume that what you've presented is a corruption.

You'll have to present a more detailed case, in order to explain this purported corruption to me.

I must also point out that it is not my intent here to say that there isn't a word we can't rely on in the Bible...no...I mean I now I pointed out some big textual areas in some key passages which would change the way one reads the Gospels...but...we can't be naive and forget that God told Adam and Eve that we'd be constantly at war with the Serpent and his seed until Christ comes to eliminate evil for good.

And when we look at world history and chronology and how they are treated in relation to Christ...there's clear evidence that people wish to eliminate any hint of Christ or the authenticity of the word of God. I believe Rachel Elior put it nicely in the video you shared of her:

"The Jews have too little geography, and too long a history"

I mean, the attacks come from all different sides...you have this corrupt serpentine group claiming that the Romans invented Christianity; another says that the "true Hebrews are black" while another says "true Hebrews are European", and a more recent one is saying that "true Hebrews are from the Philippines"; then of course the catholics try to show that Christ openly founded a "universal church"...and the list goes on...and all these serpentine groups are only alive because they all use the same source...the Word of God and twist His Words to suit their own ends...

Anyways I hope and pray that my work and cobtributions have only shown me to expose and correct the chronological distortions and errors present in the text as we have it

@HARK! Here are some screenshots from a Google Slides presentation I've been working on that I believe you'll also find useful:

The numbers from the first screenshot are the numbers according to the work I've done on the corrected chronology of the Septuagint. The second screenshot are the numbers present in the Masoretic Text.

Both are fairly straightforward and don't need a whole lot of explanation. If you want to check the Jubilee years just select a particular timespan and divide by 50 Years, and to convert the decimal simply divide by 50 Years:

Example 1
Adam to...Death
930 Years / 50 Years = 18.6 Jubilees
...OR...
18 Jubilees 30 Years
0.6 Years x 50 Years = 30 Years

Anyways the true usefulness of these charts is that when you have the 7,000 Year World Timeline as your foundation then you can clearly see the relevancy of counting the number of years that passed from Adam's creation and check how close that is to the Final Judgment or any other key event in history.

@HARK! And I don't know if you caught onto this but, while it is obvious that virtually all English translations follow the strict 49 Year reckoning of the jubilee years I couldn't help but notice that the years from Adam to the Flood follow the chronology of the Samaritan Pentateuch instead of the Masoretic Text:

Masoretic Text
1,656 Years (Adam to Flood)

Samaritan Pentateuch
1,307 Years (Adam to Flood)

Book of Jubilees
27 Jubilees 5th Week 5th Year (Adam to Flood)

27 Jubilees x 49 Years = 1,323 Years
1,323 Years - 14 Years = 1,309 Years
1,309 Years - 2 Years = 1,307 Years

Are the Samaritans the ones who edited the Book of Jubilees? Can't say with certainty, but the numbers show which chronolgy is being followed.

Regardless I still believe Jubilees to be Scripture, however when running the numbers and checking the translations we can't turn a blind eye to any evident tampering. I believe your technical works on the translations of texts has made this clear that exactness--or as is exact as possible--is crucial to understsnding the Scriptures correctly.

(For God made) XVI a Covenant with you and all Israel; therefore a
man shall bind himself by oath to return to the Law of Moses, for in it all
things are strictly defined.

As for the exact determination of their times to which Israel turns a
blind eye, behold it is strictly defined in the Book of the Divisions of
ttie Times into tlieir Jubilees and Weel<s. And on the day that a man
swears to return to the Law of Moses, the Angel of Persecution shall
cease to follow him provided that he fulfils his word: for this reason
Abraham circumcised himself on the day that he knew.

Jubilees 10:29. "And Canaan saw the land of Lebanon to the river of Egypt that it was very good, and he went not into the land of his inheritance to the west (that is to) the sea, and he dwelt in the land of Lebanon, eastward and westward from the border of Jordan and from the border of the sea. 30. "And Ham, his father, and Cush and Mizraim, his brothers, said unto him: “Thou hast settled in a land which is not thine, and which did not fall to us by lot: do not do so; for if thou dost do so, thou and thy sons will fall in the land and (be) accursed through sedition; for by sedition ye have settled, and by sedition will thy children fall, and thou shalt be rooted out for ever. 31. Dwell not in the dwelling of Shem; for to Shem and to his sons did it come by their lot. 32. Cursed art thou, and cursed shalt thou be beyond all the sons of Noah, by the curse by which we bound ourselves by an oath in the presence of the holy judge, and in the presence of Noah our father.”

THIS is the reason for the conquest of Canaan? There are too many questions without these books, it seems. Amazingly enough, I only now started reading Jubilees... and a few days ago, I'd started reading Enoch. I found a website that gives answers in Jubilees. And apparently Isadore of Seville had also read Jubilees... and then, there's this:

"Noe to shew and instruct his children in Cosmographie, went upon the mountaines which overlooke the Ponticke sea (part of which is now called Mare Mediterraneum) and there shewed unto his sonne Sem all the Asiaticke seas, from the floud Tanais in Tartaria unto the river Nilus in Aegypt: unto Cham he shewed all the rivers issuing from the seas of Affrica, and from thence through Aegypt to the streights of Gybraltar: and to Iaphet all the rivers and flouds of Europe, passing from those streights, through Spaine, Fraunce, and Italie, and those countries round about"--Richard Lynche, Travels of Noah into Europe

Jesus spoke to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel... and I hear Him.
I follow the Sermon on the Mount and the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
Does any of this disqualify me from posting here? If so, I will.

Non-sequitur. The tag is sufficient to detail what responses are being solicited. The SOP also determines who may teach here and who may only ask questions.

Interesting... thank you.
When I chose my designation, I was most interested in being known-separate from RCC.
I won't bother the MJs anymore... no matter how interesting I find some of your threads.
