OK
Its my word for heavenly order.
I am sorry to have to tell you but in the edited version Jesus wont be returning.I find it conflicted, paradoxical almost, the Love of the bible and what to do about non-violence vs pacifism, as good and evil is forbidden. But I easily rationalize reality like that, so go figure. Pardon the pun. Eventually Jesus will return to finish perfecting us, as prophecied in the biblel, and in buddhism, and there will be more wisdom from the apparently passive character. In all reality the MR even is only second hand accounts of Jesus' life.

I got to wondering if you should copyright this new edited bible? You know, so people can't start altering it to start different groups so to speak. Like in...I am sorry to have to tell you but in the edited version Jesus wont be returning.

We should. Paint them nice and white and rent out space for adds.We don't go to the pyramids and give it a latex paint job, to get out up to modern codes.
This makes it easy to lead the naive down rabbit holes. If we preserve the past, one would have to be even further out there to come to such a conclusion.

Was The Bible a single ''book'' originally ? Do you know every alteration, addition, translation and edit the book has had in its history? Have these translations been accurate? How can you talk of original? What are these ''experts'' really preserving, if not a bunch of historic alterations already made of a ''book'' along its history? The new lastest edition will be carrying along The Bible's tradition of change.The bible, should be treated as any historical document or artifact; preservation.
Send round the hat.Hollow them out a bit more and put them back to being what they were originally built for - grain storage
The bible, should be treated as any historical document or artifact; preservation. We don't go to the pyramids and give it a latex paint job, to get out up to modern codes. If we need to firm it up, we will call in experts, who will try to restore it, based on historical accuracy.
The main reason some would want to change the pyramids, to reflect modern times, Low VOC paint job, is to change the perception of the past. This confusion is needed so you can't draw an accurate line, from the past to the future. The lack of an good line, allows an irrational present to appear rational.
Many of the positions of the left are contradicted by the bible. If we allow the bible to be preserved with historical accuracy, a line from the past to the present shows data points not touching that curve. If we could change the bible and purge anything that contradicts this data, while also making adjustments that appear to predict the data, then even bad data looks more valid.
If we decided to paint the pyramids with low VOC shiny metallic copper latex paint, many people will assume, this would not be allowed, if this was not true. Therefore if this is true to the times, then the Egyptians must have had superior latex paint making skills. This makes it easy to lead the naive down rabbit holes. If we preserve the past, one would have to be even further out there to come to such a conclusion.
Matthew 17:21[edit]
KJV: Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
NIVfn: But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.
Matthew, wasn't that an add-on?the King of England tried to get a divorce clause added.... .....
Below the first is more old English the second is more modern English. Old English can be tougher to read but if you study both they say essentially the same basic things.

There are many versions of the Bible floating around out there. The Bible has been edited many times and we haven't even discussed the apocrypha at this point. The creation of the Bible itself was an edit. Several texts were excluded from the many texts in circulation at the time.I know in many counties, if something is deemed a historic site, even the owner is not allowed to modify it beyond a certain point. They can restore it to the original, but any attempt to deviate will be met with resistance from local historical committees. This was not always the case for the bible. There were also self serving individuals, who would have bulldozed a historic site, if that was to their personal benefit.
I agree that changes have been made over the years, but many of the changes you describe were not made in the interests of historical accuracy. For example, the King of England tried to get a divorce clause added. This was not allowed, so he decided to form his own church where politically useful changes could be made. The only reason people would like to modify the bible, is to undermine original intent for personal gain.
The most common changes, that appear all the time, even today, is within translation. If you go to any bible site and read any bible quote, they will often give you a choice of dozens of bible versions. Often the read is slightly different in each, however, the meaning is less ambiguous. The idea for these changes is to modernize the language so modern people can understand easier. Below the first is more old English the second is more modern English. Old English can be tougher to read but if you study both they say essentially the same basic things.

There are millions of people who think the Bible is relevant even with all of its flaws. And in the end, if it gives someone comfort, what's the harm in that? There are many variations of the Bible to chose from; there are many religions to chose from. What matters in the end is does it add value to the lives on individuals, and for millions of people it does.It appears to me the bible contains material that is wrong, contains material that is inconsistent with the modern era and material that is irrelevant.
Further it contains prophecies that are non specific and meaningless.
Should the bible be edited and or rewritten to make it correct and relevant.

I agree however I tend to focus on the bad things that flow from religion.There are millions of people who think the Bible is relevant even with all of its flaws. And in the end, if it gives someone comfort, what's the harm in that?
