  Btw, if you have not been already on this subject and trying to figure it out, your brain will fry trying to comprehend what I'm talking about lol.

  My question.......have you noticed a deep secret or truth very strongly hinted in the bible but never heard addressed and not common public understanding? Does it seem that spiritism, magic, communicating with demons, etc, which are heavily forbidden as actually being done most of the time? Do you see also 2 seemingly different forces against eachother although appearing the same? (example....does Revelation go from 2 distinct forces to possibly be speaking about the same thing? The wild beast almost appearing to be description of Jesus over the 7 congregations, as if either a trick to get people to reject his rule, or vice versa that it is a trick from Satan?

  I'm at the heart of the confusion.....it's tied to the 2 annointed ones, the 2 witnesses, the 2 cherubs, the wise cherub that is 'covering' HOW did he 'profane his santuaries?, How did he become 'violent', what were his 'sales goods', it does also somehow match up with solomon who was the wisest and got the riches of the world, the two olive trees, the ark of the covenant, the tree of life and tree of knowledge, is Jehovah the ruler of the world(according to Daniel) or Satan(according to new testament), the mentions of Jehovah as the shepard and savior in old testament, the mentions of the savior from the 'founding' of the world, what 'primary doctrine' did Paul and the early christians 'leave' after getting advanced understanding?

  I can't find any other points of view or insight on this to compare with, bring out things I may be overlooking.

  some examples, Moses throwing dust in air to turn into flies, staff just like priests, the copper serpent altar for healing, jesus making something out of dirt and spit to remove blindness, jesus writing on the ground, the ark of covenant and jerusalems temple seemingly like idols, casting lots, those consulted, the visionaries, etc, the ingredients of the 'sacrificial smoke' (think maybe canabis was one)...

  I know about all the contradictions, I found many myself just reading. From the angle though that they are not contradictions, but either slipped in 'true apostate' books, or the God of Old Testament is not who everyone is taught he is, as well as the NT, and many other possibilities.

  Here are a few reasons why I can't dismiss it as just mans teachings.....................

  1. Go outside of the bible, worldwide, even ancient mythology, minus the 'names' of the gods, etc, if you remove all the details to the basic, much of it is almost identical.

  2. Egypt, one of the oldest ruins in the world, if you read more about it, the pyramids, what they are, how they were constructed, and their location in relation to the rest of the world, the perfect math, it's not human. Most of what we know today, and the way science has advanced has it's roots to those things. Or where modern day medicine originated, etc. How were 140 ton stone boulders moved and lifted up when no evidence of slavery there?

  3. Why do all religions on the root worldwide, teach love/care for neighbor, that an end to the world is coming OR a cycle which the world goes through every few thousand + years.

  4. Astronomy - thousands of years ago much more precise then modern day Nasa with their equipment.

  Aside from the bible, taking in the big picture, what we know and our roots are from a much more advanced understanding. If you believe in evolution, that would mean man got to his peak few thousand years ago, then got real stupid again, and using the knowledge from a few thousand years ago, the past few centuries due to population started getting a little more smart again.

  Btw thanks notverylikely, is there a online printout of that? I'm checking if certain books on the whole are contradictory, and kind of split the bible in 2, which may clue in more.

  Where does the claim that ancient astronomers were more accurate come from?
  I don't see that claim in the sites at the links below.

  That wasn't a complete sentence and didn't in any way parse.

  1. Go outside of the bible, worldwide, even ancient mythology, minus the 'names' of the gods, etc, if you remove all the details to the basic, much of it is almost identical.

  So if you ignore all the differences and decide which details are relevant, the bible has a lot of other cultures have?

  2. Egypt, one of the oldest ruins in the world, if you read more about it, the pyramids, what they are, how they were constructed, and their location in relation to the rest of the world, the perfect math, it's not human.

  Pyramid math? Where have I heard this before....and why it's not typical, it's not inhuman. We know this because humans did it.

  How were 140 ton stone boulders moved and lifted up when no evidence of slavery there?

  With the technology that existed at the time. The various types of technology that existed at the time is pretty well documented.

  3. Why do all religions on the root worldwide, teach love/care for neighbor, that an end to the world is coming OR a cycle which the world goes through every few thousand + years.

  They don't all teach that.

  4. Astronomy - thousands of years ago much more precise then modern day Nasa with their equipment.

  That is not correct. In fact, since you bring up the egyptians, it's worth pointing out that they were unaware of the necessity to add in a leap year every four years. Consequently, about every 750 years, their calendar was off by six months with respect to the seasons.
