A Simple Commentary of an Observation 23 May 2011
Ok. Let's make this simple. I believe that the Holy Bible has errors and is in complete. I can prove it. Do I need to? Not really. People are smart enough to prove to themselves what the Holy Bible truly is. Many thousands of years ago men drew upon their location to write about what was happening in their time. From the first 'translation' and/or 'copy' of the writings of the People of God, man has been inconsistent with his description of what WAS happening at the time of Noah. The story itself comes from the ancient Babylonian story of Gilgamesh. http://www.religioustolerance.org/noah_com.htm. Suffice it to say, the story we know about Noah was probably embellished upon to give credence to what God would do if people got out of hand and transgressed. Noah was not what we see him to be in the stories we know. Archaeologists have already found things that put the story in a whole different place and probably and whole different time, considering what was happening at that time the Holy Bible was written (commissioned in 1604/completed and canonized in 1611). Case in point, King James. His scribes and translators wrote everything down. Copies were made, etc. The King saw what was written but because of the pressure of the church of that time he could not authorize what they found. So, he 'edited' it. What we see today is what we see today as the 'Authorized' King James Version of the Holy Bible.
What we know today about Noah is far from what he really was. 'Knowing' your Holy Bible is one thing. KNOWING the true history and all that went into it is something completely different.
You see, I've spent most of my life studying and researching the societal constructs of what went on 'behind the scenes' in biblical times. Was there a person known as Noah? Yes, but not in the way he is portrayed to us.
Before anyone gets a wild hair and begins to criticize me too harshly for what I wrote, remember, no Pastor, Evangelist, etc. told me any of the things I know about the Holy Bible. I learned it all myself, by doing research on my own. Am I going to be able to convince anyone of anything that I say? No. I can say that it's best to consider everything I say 'food for thought'. 'Fear the Lord', not to 'fear' him as if he'll send a lightening bolt to wipe you off the face of the planet, but, 'fear' him in 'reverence' for who He is. Noah 'feared' God. Noah knew and told others. They, too, didn't listen, as some do NOT listen today. I know one thing: "Unlearn what you have learned."
