Seems like a fairly lengthy pitch to read the bible more, putting yourself into the shoes of the characters of the stories you read, so to speak.. In a nutshell.

Putting Judaeo and Christian values aside for one moment, as other far greater minds than mine have successfully argued, we can do this experiment with subjectivity with any large tome, from Harry Potter all the way back to war and peace, or further still to Malory's Arthur and beyond...

So what's the question exactly? Have we noticed feeling like the bible was written and directed solely for us? Not me, personally, what do you think about things? What's YOUR take on this website? Do you think the bible was written solely for you?...x... N

Well, if the Holy Bible is really about me, someone please tell me how the Biblical references cited in #s 1-10 below all fit with my values. (Or anyone else's reading this, for that matter!)

The context is this. On her radio show, 'Dr. Laura' [Schlesinger] a little while ago said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstances.

Now, enjoy the following open letter — written by an American teacher: :)







Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Bring back smiting! (or do I mean smitten?)

[ghostrider]

The council of Nicea in 325 AD decided what books to include and which ones to leave out ... Enter the king of England giving his seal of approval and there is your authorized version... The writings of the prophets were corrupted by men to control other men ... There is universal truths contained in the scriptures, yet much of history has been changed to fit an agenda... The book of Enoch should have been included... They say he walked with god and then god took him, that's all they want known about him...the Quran is the same , corrupted by men to control other men ...

you can read the bible many times and never understand any of it.

but then one day, you hear someone who does understand it, they are excited, sharing with everyone they can...

through their eyes, you see why it is so important to so many...

give this guy a few minutes and tell me you aren't smiling...

I thought that noone really knows what the bible "Really" had to say...

Since the versions that we read are ones that have been manipulated / re-written to suit the modern church. The original scripts are locked away in the Vatican along with a lot more material in relation to all of that. Never to be revealed to the public. I wonder why?

[Snoweagle]

The Bible is not about YOU!

The Bible is an aborration of the history of planet Earth.

The Bible Code is the following:
The Old Testament
The Old Testament is a description of the events that occurred at the collapse of Saturn, our red Sun. This formed the continents as we know them now. Most life on Earth was destroyed but regenerated again into smaller forms. changing all DNA in the process. People were Giants before and now the sizes began to diminish. Planet Earth went on from this point into its "golden age".
The Hebrews who stole the artifacts from the Egyptian pyramids were unable to read the glyphs on the scrolls perpretrated the birth of their own "uniqueness" and used this knowledge to succour "interest" by divination of ascribing the master-slave paradigm of ownership. Effectively, describing and justifying the "false" birth of Judaism.

The New Testament
The New Testament describes the the arrival of the Moon and the impact that event had had on mankind. This was an equally extination level event as occurred by the tribulation of Saturns demise.
The star of Bethlehem, the arrival of the Moon, was the story of the rebirth of mankind, even smaller in size now than even the seperation of Earth from Saturn had been to mankinds physiology. The star of Bethlehem, the Moon brought three "kings" each bringing gifts of gold, frankinsense anr myrrh. These were the the equivalent two thousand years ago to, "sex drugs and rock and roll" and "gold, oil, and drugs". All valuable commodities considered luxury items back then. Gold was abundant by the energy emmissions between the two celestial bodies proximity and the frankinsense and myrrh were the by product of the collapse of the wilting plants that exuded the commodities as they died.
The "Jesus" guy is a fiction, yet based on the mankinds newly benevolent character of peace and tranquility was prescribed as some sort of god. It was easy for people to relate to their natural character traits yet made them defenceless against those supporting the Old testament who to "cover their theft and lies" would steer them away from truth at every opportunity and when that didn't work, kill them instead.

The Bible is NOT ABOUT YOU the person. It is about the transition of mans journey from Saturn, collecting the Moon and settling to our current state of mankind.

This is what I believe to be true. I am no mans slave.

As far as my trying to understand "religion" and who "GOD" might be and "HIS" plan, Mauro Biglino appeals to my hard-headed rational thinking side. Since his initial exposure when he published his first book, he has since written several others:


Mauro Biglino translated 23 books of the Bible for the Vatican. He had to translate the Leningrad Codex (the version of the Bible which all three major monotheistic religions - Cristian, Jewish and Muslim - recognize as the official Bible) from the Hebrew, word by word, literally and with no interpretation whatsoever. That is to say, he's not a wannabe kabbalist, conspirationist or ufologist, since the official publishing organism of the Vatican approved and released those books, at least 17 of them. While working on the Bible, he realized that many of the stories this book tells where mistranslated, misinterpreted, mostly on purpose, in order to insert the notion of a spiritual, all-mighty and unerring God. The picture he gives us of the bestseller of all times is surprisingly different from what we all were told. Actually, as soon as he released "THE BOOK THAT WILL FOREVER CHANGE OUR IDEAS ABOUT THE BIBLE - THE GODS COMING FROM SPACE", the Vatican suspended all further publications of Mauro Biglino's works: Let's discover why!

"THE BOOK THAT WILL FOREVER CHANGE OUR IDEAS ABOUT THE BIBLE - THE GODS COMING FROM SPACE"
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00GX5OHYQ/re...


The Author
Mauro Biglino is an Italian scholar of history of religions, he published in Italy five books, two of which are focused on the research and re-translation work of the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament of the Bible in a literal way, word by word, from the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. The Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia is the first printed edition of the Masoretic text, derived from the Leningrad Codex of 1008 AD, which is the original text of reference of the Bible for the Roman Catholic Church, for the Bible of the Christian Protestant Churches - the King James Version - and for the Torah of the Jewish religion. Mr. Biglino's books focused on the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament are entitled "Il Libro che cambierà per sempre le nostre idee sulla Bibbia" and "Il Dio Alieno della Bibbia". Prior to writing these two books, Mauro Biglino had worked for ten years for the main publishing house of the Vatican, Edizioni San Paolo*, as a translator of ancient Hebrew from the original Masoretic text of the Bible. Mr. Biglino translated for the Vatican publisher 19 books of the Bible from the ancient Hebrew text of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. 12 books were published by Edizioni San Paolo in the book "I Profeti Minori", 5 books were published in the book "Cinque Meghillot".
In relation to his work on the Bible, Mr. Biglino has been interviewed on the Italian National Television and on several radio networks. He is a keynote speaker at conferences and seminars throughout Italy. *Note In writing that "Edizioni San Paolo" is the main publishing house of the Vatican, we do not mean that "Edizioni San Paolo" is financially owned by the Vatican. We mean that "Edizioni San Paolo" is the main Christian Catholic publishing house in Italy, it is the main publisher of books written by Catholic Cardinals and Bishops, and the main publisher of religious and Theological books for the Catholic community in Italy.

Well, if the Holy Bible is really about me, someone please tell me how the Biblical references cited in #s 1-10 below all fit with my values. (Or anyone else's reading this, for that matter!)


I used to be in this mindset, too, back in the day when I was more in the Scientism camp. But then I learned that the stories of Jesus in the Bible are not to be taken literally...at all. The whole reason we are in such a mess on this planet is because people take stories from the Bible literally, when they were meant to be taken metaphorically. The journey of Jesus is both an astrological and alchemical one. Deeply disguised in allegorical messages, the Bible is a framework for how to navigate one's inner darkness using the Zodiac as a compass. In fact, the Gospels are entirely about just this...with each story of Jesus correlating with each sign of the Zodiac.

Even "walking on water" is supposed to hold a much deeper, esoteric meaning. Christians take the Bible literally, which is not only incorrect, but extremely harmful. Those of us in the Alternative Community need to look at the Bible from a different lens. There are elements of slavery in the book as well, one could be sure are planted there to deceive people and make understanding this alchemical journey an arduous one. But these nasty elements should not supercede the overall message, which is that the story of Jesus is indeed what every human being needs to go through to reach a higher state of consciousness.

More seriously: an early scholar called Marcon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcionism) concluded that if one honestly studied the entire Bible — the Old and New Testaments together — one could see clearly that there were TWO DIFFERENT 'GODS' described: one a loving God, the one that Jesus knew and discussed — and the other a cruel, badass 'God' who was very likely not the real one at all.

This heresy got him excommunicated from the early Roman Church. But he had a most excellent point.

The early Gnostics, of course, said pretty much exactly the same thing, pointing to the extremely unpleasant 'God' of much of the Old Testament as being the 'Demiurge'... an evil, Archontic impostor.

[Rocky_Shorz]

along that line, France attack followed by a huge explosion at cern.

we have people on this world that want the badass to return...

cast to another dimension locked away from humanity, Cern cranked up the power getting close to succeeding, suddenly a UFO appeared glowing with power, and the seal was protected

[gripreaper]

The early Gnostics, of course, said pretty much exactly the same thing, pointing to the extremely unpleasant 'God' of much of the Old Testament as being the 'Demiurge'... an evil, Archontic impostor.

It's virtually impossible to read the books of Leviticus and Numbers and not come to the same conclusion. Then, when you read the rest of the old testament within the same context, we see in Genesis the discussion of the first creation of chimeric hybrids by these imposters, as well as the second chimeric hybrids. The story of the fall and the expulsion from the garden are all metaphors written by these alien imposters, and the whole context of "damaged goods" and "savior memes" are all designed to keep us from our power and to dumb us down.

The divine right to rule was declared by these aliens and is only held in place in the matrix of all manifestation because we have acquiesced to this cursive trust, and have not rebuked its curse. If we really understood energetics and how it works, how astrology and numerology are the oldest sciences of reality and manifestation, we could shift consciousness. Manifestation is held in the matrix because of our beliefs.

Why do you think they still spend so much time and energy keeping us in fear? Because fear and love cannot occupy the same space and love is more powerful than anything else in the universe, but we don't understand it or know what it really is. Fear keeps the energetic curses in place while love dissolves them. Fear rituals, which they use on key astrological nodes (like the Paris attack), hold the curses in place.

We stop buying it and we counter it with love and see what happens.

What we may be actually witnessing in the world today is the beginning of the great battle between good and evil as mentioned in the bible.....we will most likely annihilate and kill each other off and become extinct, thus evil will be eliminated and everything will be back as it should be, everything will be "good" again..... ;)

It was as though Jesus came to correct the thinking/teaching of the Old Testament.
The late Dr David Hawkins did a muscle test (Kinesology) on the bible Here is what Hawkins says about the Bible:

Quote:

The Old Testament calibrates at only 190. However, Genesis is at 660, Psalms is 650, Proverbs is 350. If these are excluded then the remaining Old Testament calibrates at only 125. The New Testament calibrates at 640. However if Revelations were removed (calibrates at only 70) then the New Testament would calibrate at 790.

The current bible calibrates at 475 as a whole. To make it authentically “Holy” as the title implies, it would have to exclude all of the books of the Old Testament (except Genesis, Psalms and Proverbs) and Revelations. If that were done, then the bible would be truly “Holy” and calibrate at over 740. Importantly, the Lamsa version of the bible (Translated from Aramaic, Jesus’ language) is more accurate than the King James Version (translated from Greek). It calibrates 20 points higher. If the Lamsa bible excluded the old testament (except Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs) and revelations it would calibrate at 810. If Revelations were removed from the Lamsa version of the New Testament, it would calibrate at a whopping 880.

Society calibrates at 204 I think he said, with great minds on earth calibrating around 499-510 ranges.

1) huntin' Canadians in the winter is cold and they are to dammed polite so whippin' um is almost next to impossible to not look overbearing infront of yer slaver buddies.

2) Yah gota have a daughter before you can sell yer daughter and the pimps don't like bein' undersold now a days, so no yer only aloud to rent her to the pimps..

3) Visit the toilet after she's been in there, if she's not wounded from being whipped earlier any blood will let you know, sometimes it's just best to assume her attitude that caused the whippin' eariler was that she was menstratin'.

4) More barbeque sauce on yer sacrifice will please yer neighbours so there is no need to smite um.

Hey truth seekah, nice article it really resonated with the Holy Spirit. The part about the giant, gold calfs and obsticles is so true... The only way to break out of the fallen matrix of duality and take hold of your true destiny is through the love and blood of Christ.

What do you mean by the blood of Christ? Are you using it as a metaphor for something or are you using the term literally? If you see it as a metaphor, what does it signify for you? If you take it literally, do you think we could, alternatively, still be "redeemed" by offering a lamb or a goat instead of opting for the "blood of Christ" option?

[Sojourner]

That's a good question bro im glad you asked. The blood of Christ literally saves you from the second death of eternal separation from the God Head. The only sacrifice that is acceptable for sin is the Holy blood of God Himself! When that blood cleanses you, you are free from the destiny of your fallen state (environment, astronomical birth charts, circumstances etc..) and truly come into alignment with the Creator.
When you sacrifice an animal its soul goes back to heaven and its blood which is ignorant of sin because its a beast was used as a covering for sin. It was just a shadow of things to come, that's why the Lord ordered the jews to do it until the real Lamb of God came to do away with sacrifices forever.

I believe The blood of Christ literally saves you from the second death......?

All religious texts from any source are ways in which the original writer was able to interpret the word of God at the time, the original story has been changed so much by those who decided to force others into believing what they did/brainwash them or spend less time with others that didn't so the truth is very hard to see if you only take the bible in a literally sense because with the best of intentions they are only telling their own point of view and that is why in every religious order there is so much room for interpretation because the books can easily be corrupted when another soul sees room for improvement until it turns into politics and we all know very well how THAT game is played
We're all here cause we're tired of being lied to, and we're frustrated by all those who don't even realise they are being, but we have to come to open our eyes to the full picture which is you could write a million stories about who represents us here on earth, but there would always be a point of view that you might miss especially if you focus on only comparing yourself to someone of the same species, how about examples of how we are with each other and how the beings we share are planet are with one another?
When we can familiarise ourselves with how much we are connected to the beautiful nature that exists then it'll be easier to find yourself

The Wonderful Avalonian Library!!! You did it again! :dancing: Thank you SO MUCH, Morningsong, for posting the video of Mauro Biglino showing how the literal translations of the Bible have nothing to do with what has been imposed upon us in religious circles, :highfive: I have thought for a long time that our Creation account in Genesis sounded like a "generic" version of whatever REALLY happened. Guess I was right! :handshake: A big THANK YOU to all of you who make this Forum work! :clapping:

Hey truth seekah, nice article it really resonated with the Holy Spirit. The part about the giant, gold calfs and obsticles is so true... The only way to break out of the fallen matrix of duality and take hold of your true destiny is through the love and blood of Christ.

What do you mean by the blood of Christ? Are you using it as a metaphor for something or are you using the term literally? If you see it as a metaphor, what does it signify for you? If you take it literally, do you think we could, alternatively, still be "redeemed" by offering a lamb or a goat instead of opting for the "blood of Christ" option?

It's metaphor... it's about Redemption, in this interpretation there is no need to sacrifice animals anymore... (Old Testament) Christ's sacrifice was a perfect sacrifice) And means we have all been redeemed... (but only if you "accept" him as your Lord and Saviour...) and believe it or not there is a commercial model based on it... just as there was on the "sacrificing" of animals... and that "deal" goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden... when Adam & Eve broke the first covenant (pact/agreement/contract) and set the stage (or standard) by which humanity would be judged (how to be dealt with) i.e. as "imperfect, fallible, lying, self serving little dum dums... for the most part... God didn't kill them, because he "loved" them (just like we don't kill down's syndrome babies... we love them too...) Yep, this was spelled out pretty clearly in Genesis... (i.e. someone already seemed to know "mankind" pretty well!) this was clearly exemplified when Adam and Eve couldn't even live by ONE contract... not even ONE command... what eating of the forbidden fruit symbolized... and they were "supposed" to die... but God (the ultimate deal maker) worked out another deal for them (so he had rules even back then...) he would "buy them out" (since he owned them outright to begin with...) and they could make "payment" for their "sins" with the sacrifice of animals... this would never get them completely out of jail... but was a stop gap measure... a symbolic gesture... a spiritual IOU... The parallel in the world of trust is called a transfer of liability... the "death" they were supposed to "suffer" was transferred onto the "scapegoat" (another biblical concept) It would die in the place of the man/woman... man was to perform this "ritual" as a reminder a reupdate of the "account" or a rewriting of the IOU... to always keep this fresh in man's mind... he owed one... (a big one)

In the meantime God would "work" with mankind... maybe see if he could spiritually raise him up a bit... in preparation for... the big event.. i.e. when Christ would come... (the new deal) When a "deal" would be worked out for a "final settlement" Christ... would, of HIS own free will, sacrifice himself, so that we could all be "redeemed"... his life, freely given, the life of a perfect spiritual being... would be the only thing that could satisfy the original debt created by "Adam and Eve" i.e. there is nothing we can do, or give "God" (since we don't have anything to GIVE him, (except our "Love"...another commercial concept that exists even in accounting, all trust and equitable terms too.. ie. good will, good faith, our promise, etc... this is NOT the same thing as thinking there is something we can do though to BUY our way out... in that context, (the commercial idea, there literally is nothing we can do... there is no action in that context... no coin, no action, (the trap of the commercial world is it's illusion) Only by his "Grace" can we be saved... and our only requirement was/is our free will and voluntary "acceptance" of him (his principles, his system of governance, his philosophy...) which itself is a system that fully accounts for our pathetic (spiritual) imperfection... i.e. our greed, avarice, selfishness, hatred, prejudice, etc.. (but mostly selfishness... man's most predictable behaviour... or lack of "sacrifice" for others, etc... ) If we followed this system we could survive (and thrive)

And this does in fact parallel commerce... and trust in particular... acceptance of an offer makes contract... and an offer (a form of title or right to something) isn't perfected without the acceptance of the other party... even if the party somehow is given an offer and is holding it and even "using" it (but that's another story...)

Point is... I (we) have found laws which show that unless there is a formal acceptance of an offer, the party holding the "title"... is in a "compromised" position (that is too complicated to get into here...) Just know this is a fundamental centuries old concept that is the basis of commercial and legal principles today, without that crucial acceptance, and I am specifically referring to equity and trust laws... the party holding a title is compromised and locked out of all the benefits of any potentially existing trust! (why I find the Bible and the whole NT story so fascinating... metaphorical as I see it...)

Anyhoos, no you don't have to sacrifice a goat, (that was OT) and that was done as a ritual reminder to the people "they were forever owing one" to the big guy... And besides even A.D. there is nothing you can do to you can do... to "win over" God (contrary to what a lot of people think...) the only thing you can do is accept his grace and be grateful... meaning accept his principle (which in it's simplest form meant to apply the "Golden Rule"... it was meant to be a simple system of equality, peace, and forgiveness of debt (no usury) and the anti-thesis of accumulation of too much wealth in any one man or woman's hands... why the Queen and the Vatican own everything (because they are Fictional Bodies... the first Corporations... Trustees... i.e. technically and properly understood... they are "holding it on behalf of "God" for the benefit of the public... Everyone is supposed to recognize that everything is "God given" i.. We got here "free and empty handed" we are leaving the same way... thus we have no right to demand anything, from anybody... quite the contrary... we should be asking how can we possibly make the most of our good grace? (by service to others, as a symbolic gesture of our gratefulness to Him?) the idea was/is freely given, freely shared...

and in a hidden way that is how the world is set up today in Western Cultures... (it's just hidden in the private)
As for people who don't get it (about 99%) there is public Roman Commerce... the system most of us were born into... the one we all know and (try to) understand...

Equity and Trust and the Bible that is trying to tell that story, about that hidden system we can all get into... that it is here... and it is operating, but it is completely in a separate domain from the Roman public system of commerce... because it has been hidden in another system of private trust... in fact I just discovered the US constitution is a private trust document... thus why it is not allowed in public statutory courts... when people start claiming constitutional rights the "judges" (corporate tribunal arbitrators) will have nothing to do with it... why? because you are in the WRONG jurisdiction to claim such... and beside you are not properly claiming it...

Sorry ... where my mind always goes when I hear this "bible stuff" .... Morale of the Story... the bible is vastly more complex and cryptic then we can possibly imagine... but there is a story in there... and it's entirely codified in a highly symbolic language, and requires a high degree of logic, someone like the mind of Jordan Maxwell, and many like him, it's metaphors, topological literature, maxims of equity, parables, stories, the names have been changed to protect the secrets, it supposed to be a lifetime puzzle book for the human mind, if you will... anyhow... the more I look at it this way, and combine the hidden history (Freemason stuff) the Roman history, the Vatican history, the legal comparison... etc, the more I find it reveals... There is no question in my mind... Truth IS absolutely stranger than fiction... This truth is hidden... to protect it... especially in a world of evil, selfishness, low education, material covetousness, etc...

addendum: of course I should add, this interpretation is based on the 1611 AKJV, which is only 400 years ago... the authorized (by King James) version commissioned to Sir Francis Bacon (thought to be one of the William Shakespeare authors, and Robert Fludd (Master of the Priori of Sion) also known as the John Dee of the 15th century...

my 2 cents (as much as I can spit out in one thought process... ;P

[Mike Gorman]

James M. Kauffman is as bad as me with his 'irony' - it made me smile :) Yes, the bible, it is an important book to us as an historical source of social history and the very substance of our western religion, to be read studied but wisely side stepped as a pattern for existence, it is time to move on ladies and gentlemen.

Good point, GalaxyHorse, however, it simply blows my mind that an entire planet has been deceived by a system created by other human beings in the name of religion. Someone else's agenda has been at work here on this planet & none of us would have even KNOWN that if there had not been those who had curious minds wanting to search out what REALLY has been going on. :Angel:
