What if... the Bible was not infallible... What if... The Bible was a flawed attempt to convey a real experience.... but contained mistakes and things that were only true at the time...
There are scriptures mentioned in some parts of the Bible that don't exist anymore, and yet they were regarded as scripture, therefore the scripture record must be incomplete. No book in the Bible says that all the other books are infallible. Where does this idea of infallibility even come from? A doctrine of an infallible Pope? Inspired doesn't mean infallible.
+ Surely the Bible must be treated with caution and not regarded as an infallible manual for the modern day?
Thank you for sharing. I agree with your thoughts.
The "Bible" is actually an interpretation of the Book of Enoch and the Dead sea scrolls. The Dead Sea
Scrolls contain hundreds of passages, yet the "bible" only has 66 chapters. A lot was deliberately omitted (spirituality...).
In addition, Over the many centuries, ruling Emporers had their own agenda's. They had the "bible" delierately changed and altered
to suit their belief systems. Emporer Constantine (3-4th C.) is one example. He had his scribes omit and change passages to reflect his
dogmatic and Pagan beliefs. Constantine worshipped the Sun God, not the God of light. King James, also did similar things. In addition, the langauge 2000 years ago was much different than ours'.
It is very easy for many interpreters to misinterpret what was really intended in the old Hebrew language, and, for modern readers to misinterpret
what was really intended..
This is not saying that the "bible" does not contain some wisdom. It does. I love the early Genesis where we are clearly told what God
wants humans to consume. However in its' own way, the vast majority of the "bible" is very dogmatic. There are multiple passages that
promote and support pagan animal and child sacrifices (to moloch and baal), and, eating dead animals. And that even say God wants this.
No, Satan wants them and still does.
29Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for food.
30And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
Consuming the flesh and blood of murdered animals, is not meant to be on the table or in our mouths. It is participating in animal "sacrifices" to do so. God loves all of his children, all animals. It is eating at the table of demons.
God did not want his human children to consume his non-human animal children by ending their lives. Life is a priceless thing and none of
the gentle inncoent animals want to be slaughtered os we can sacrifice and/or eat their corpses.
I know my thoughts will upset many humans and I mean no offense. However the truth is there if you seek it. blessings to all.
