There are two translations streams starting in the 1st century to second century.     The Latin Vulgate, Roman Catholic stream originated from Origen to Eusebius to Jerome and the true Bible was sent to the Alps with the Waldenses and became the Textus Receptus.   This is the basis for the KJV.

@ jack

watched the video. the preacher is very well spoken, clearly college educated. i agreed with some of what he said but being put on the spot like that i'm sure caused him to miss a few solid talking points. none the less he was a bit ambiguous and not entirely accurate on all he said. the thousands of documents he spoke of were not written in biblical times. they are a collection of writings that are mostly from after the nicean council; after Christianity became the official religion of the holy roman empire. so they validate little in the way of the bibles true origin, intention, and authenticity.

 

but the preacher was captivating and charismatic for sure. thanks for the video. although i still feel like we're shouting from our doorways lol

agreed. many ways to view that philosophy. majority of the worlds religions from europe, the middle east, india and china have all clearly influenced each other. it's like the evolution of anything else. look at how china has influenced japans society. just in general. japan has pretty much borrowed china's entire culture.

 

another good example of this would be ancient greece and then the romans. the early pagan religion of the romans was a remake of the earlier greeks. even the gods are almost carbon copies of each other.

 

go back even farther and you will see how the greeks borrowed the egyptian religion. as well as the mystery schools. why do you think the masons use so much egyptian symbolism -- even biblical symbolism as part of their craft? the time of the pharoahs were biblical times, and the first recorded accounts of the mystery schools date back to this time period. with the exception of Sumerian epics like Gilgamesh which was either written as a symbolic journey that was really about initiation into the mystery schools of the day and the secrets of life and death or it has been conveniently adopted by them.

The rule in a discussion like this is to remember the story of the five blind men and the Elephant.

Even though all five blind men experience different parts of the elephant all of them were right in their conclusions. There are many parts of the story, many parts of a puzzle.
