Why would I need to forgive you?

Ignorance isn’t an offence. Just a lack of information.

My reply wasn’t a rebuke. But an answer to anyone else who might decide to hate the Bible because of the perceived evil of multiple versions. I’m sure that’s not something you’d intended so I pointed out the valid reasons for multiple versions.

Elohim is translated as singular “God” when the verb is conjugated in Hebrew as third person singular. Verb conjugation and context cannot be ignored when dealing with foreign languages. Using plural forms to denote singular nouns is a common Hebraicism (e.g. behemoth, mayim/water, shamayim/Heaven, panim/face).

Ignoring the Hebrew context of the Hebrew Scriptures is foolish at best and evil at worst. Paul writes in Romans that the Oracles (i.e. Scriptures) of God are entrusted to the Jews as gifts and callings from God without repentance.

The Canon wasn’t “Selected”. It was recognized. Holy Scriptures were being commonly used by Spirit-filled assemblies en masse and a bunch of self-important muckity mucks were trying to bring in heresies with gnostic forgeries or historical religious books that, although good, were uninspired.

And incidentally “Israel last” is Antichrist’s plan.

One can believe that God is a liar and can’t protect His Word but that is a dangerous game of chicken. The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth by bringing to remembrance those things revealed to us through His Son. His Son said not one jot or tittle would pass away from His Torah. Heaven and earth will pass away, He said, but not one of His words would ever pass away. You either believe it or not. Let God be true and every man a liar.

Yeah. But with the judgment/shaking that’s begun in the household of God “enjoying” Him has become secondary to obeying Him.

God is tightening up His ship. The Bachelorette party is over and it’s time for the Bride to get rid of the spots and blemishes before the Big Day.

Don’t be ignorant.

All the “Versions” are translations from the same core manuscripts. Same original language manuscripts - different translation teams.

Some translation teams are from all Catholics. Some are from various denominations. Some use older English. Some use updated English, etc.

Some versions translate more literally word for word (YLT, KJV) and some translate more dynamically thought for thought (NLT).

If you really want to nitpick, learn Hebrew, Judeo-Aramaic and Koine Greek and read the early manuscripts. Or just use the myriad Bible tools like a Strong’s Concordance for reference.

They’ve demonized (and subsequently mentally deranged) themselves and their children through Moloch worship.

In this present darkness the unclean spirits are so numerous that just attending a rally/protest opens doors to these things.

MK Ultra indirectly. Operation Mockingbird directly.

And I don’t believe it’s tumbled down just yet. They’ve just been scrambling to diversify into social media.

Ditto.

Although I still appreciate the originals as parables of our reality.

Thanks. Yes, I have.

I don’t think it’s all noise. I just see the lines between “healthcare” and what Revelation calls “pharmakeia” blurring more and more every day - eroding our trust in Heaven alone.

These bodies we have are like baby teeth. As we mature they become really irritating and painful right before we ask our Daddy to yank them. No sense seeing a dentist, getting freezing injections and fillings, and paying a small fortune for a tooth that’s about to be replaced with a permanent adult one.

I realize that’s an oversimplification. If I had a cure I would obviously take it - and I have tried many. I am grateful for what helps. However, my focus is primarily on my eternal metaphysical health at this point.

Thanks. I’ve been following Dr. McCullough since 2021.

Incidentally, in another thread regarding health, someone suggested nicotine. So nicotine is the next big supplement to look at. I’m calling it again now - organic nicotine (aka cigarettes), lol.

Yes. I caught original strain Covid in Jan. 2020 in Vancouver (it was very mild but weird, unlike any sickness I’ve ever had). I was never injected and I have been suffering from debilitating illness since plus my immune system is messed up. It really started to get bad for me when I spent time around my vaxxed family members when they first rolled them out and I seriously suspected spike protein shedding. I’ve done all the ivermectin protocols with all the supplements and they really didn’t noticeably help. All I can do is manage pain and symptoms as best as possible and trust in the Lord.

I have my own theories but I don’t want to fearmonger. Not to mention many here believe that Covid was a total hoax.

What I will say is that they 100% accomplished what they set out to do with the mass injections and now they are just biding their time. It’s why we have record illness and death right now and crickets from all governments and health agencies.

But everyone I know, vaxxed and unvaxxed (in countries around the world) have experienced the worst colds/flus/infections in their lives over the past month.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled (and is still pulling) is exactly what Scripture says it is - he poses as an angel of light and he sends his agents posing as ministers of righteousness (aka white hats).

Just so there’s no motivational speaking prosperity gospel Scripture twisting going on, here’s the full context of Isaiah 41:

8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.

16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.

I have not studied parasite vs. germ theory although I am aware of the general synopsis.

I spent most of my teen and adult life studying herbal medicine and other natural remedies. However, my own personal bent has changed over the years of dealing with chronic illness - especially in the last few years.

It’s probably a minority opinion but I believe all illness is due to Sin (corporate Sin and not necessarily individual sins). And much suffering is sent our way for redemptive purposes (both personal and corporate). When one lives at peace with God, whatever suffering comes is always for one’s best. Chasing perfect health is like trying to preserve baby teeth imho, since we will all die and be resurrected to immortality - some to eternal life and some to eternal death - better to focus on one’s permanent metaphysical health.

Personally I can chase the newest health info or look for some new treatment or I can trust that God will bless my bread and water and keep me from harmful poisons by His power. Not that I should tempt Him by consuming non-foods or through gluttony and other sin. And I am thankful for medicines that ease people’s suffering - especially natural ones. However I have seen more, better and real lasting results (in myself and others) from people praying than I ever have from any medical industry (which is ultimately for profit and as fickle and changing as any other industry). The current fads (ivermectin and the like) will change again in a few years and be replaced with smoking cigarettes again or something else - ever chasing perfect health - ever avoiding suffering and its redemptive process. (Incidentally I have, at the behest of loved ones, done all the ivermectin protocols and it was as effective as baking soda in water).

Anyway, thanks for the discussion. Also, when I mention metaphysical health and prayer, I don’t mean any sort of hidden/ancient secrets or gnostic mumbo jumbo. I am simply referring to a living daily relationship with God through Messiah His Son. Nothing fancy. Just simple humble faith - well… as much as He helps me.

Thanks again. God bless you and yours.

At the time of the spice trade we don’t see particularly healthier people or lengthened life spans.

Also, a plethora of anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-cancer compounds grew (and grow) in European herb gardens. And because of Greek and Roman medical history, apothecaries were well aware of these.

Myrrh was valued/expensive because it was rare and unique… just like black pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon in Europe during the spice trade.

I’m not denying the present day suppression of information. But if the spice trade was about something more than flavour and black pepper was really some secret hidden panacea for the elites then why is it in little paper packets for free at McD’s? Because it WAS about food (arguably the most important cultural element in any society).

At a time when people’s meals consisted of a few bare loaves and some salted meat if you’re lucky - maybe some 9 days old pease porridge - seasoning made a huge impact… especially for the elites whose chief entertainment involved banquets. And the local villager who enjoyed his peppered steak at that banquet would then save up his pences to buy black pepper as a luxury item, copying the elites. And he would buy it at a serious price mark up thereby enriching the elites even further.

And don’t get me started on spices for perfumes in a society that never bathed!

Rarity, exoticness, and status. That is what the spice trade was about.

It’s not that difficult of a concept. Even today we pay premiums for luxury items like Single Malt Scotches, Cuban cigars, French Champagnes, Wagyu beef, etc.

You don’t buy it because you are out of touch with 99.9% of human history.

Spices like myrrh, frankincense, etc. were all considered precious and more costly than gold.

Remember back in the day when Aztecs used cacao beans for currency… and they even had counterfeits? And now your kids can buy a Hershey’s bar with pocket change.

It was about food.

The drug trade was certainly lucrative but that was the opium trade - not spice.

The idea that it was a cover for human trafficking is laughably moronic since slavery was legal and universally practiced. No need to waste precious cargo space for humans when you can go to war with the Slavs.

Adrenochrome? The elites just bought slaves or emptied their dungeons.

Herbal medicine? They grew medicine in their gardens and fields and they believed in blood-letting, leeches, and had an extensive medical repertoire from the ancient Greeks and Romans. So, pepper and nutmeg as some new fangled panacea makes no sense.

In conclusion, it was about food. Their priorities may seem strange to our present day paradigm… but we also grow up eating Doritos and mass killing babies in the womb. Maybe, prioritizing naturally flavored food is more noble and that somehow seems weird to our degenerate world.
