Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Does anyone here have an Ethiopian Bible? I'd like to get your reviews...
Have you looked for the electronic version on biblehub or biblegateway? Also did a quick search and Amzn provides a link.
I did...thanks cc!
I've read a few of the books on their own
88 books vs 66
88 is auspicious number in Chinese numerology
Lots of the apocryphal texts are full of wisdom and truth bombs especially regarding societal gender roles and also proves a lot of gnosticism is correct
Oldest known Bible form and I feel kind of stupid for not thinking of ordering one sooner
Some people believe it is the one true Bible
This is why I would like to own one...why were these books left out of other versions?
Pauline church wanted to remove Christian mysticism and gnosticism to make Christianity easier to control for the sake of spreading it more..but it essentially neutered it
The rest was due To James and lots of his personal issues.
I am not sure why the Catholic church and the few biblical foundation groups deleted those books though
