The challenging 'question' stacker
So if the books in "what make up the known Bibles" never got a translation from original language nor got put together for a single "Book", then what?...
What unfolds as missing or becoming in both the "religion" world and the "theory" (in theory exmaples: God in theory, End of Time in theory, Judgement Day in theory, Heaven and Hell in theory, Final Battle between Good vs Evil in theory, Etc.) world? What unshapens from, say, the modern America such a "BIBLE NOT SO," or "BIBLE WE HAVE NOT," should have affectiveness on? What criticisms undo or are not so then? And what criticisms become by a "BIBLE NOT SO(W)" over the country any in or the whole globe? |

Removing The Bible from the worlds history would so radically alter the present reality that the consequences would impossible to imagine; Altering the thoughts and the actions of countless millions of of people.
Absent the Tanaka, there would not have been an Israelite people, no Judaism, Christian, nor Islamic religions, no Crusades, and no nation of "America". Of course the void would be filled with something else, perhaps better, but human nature being as it is, as likely much worse. The only reality that we can apprehend, is that one that we do have, in which now we live, and move, and have our being. Better to spend time contemplating how we, as individuals, can make this world a better, and more desirable place, than in the imaginings of alternate worlds and histories that never happened, and in which we can have no place. This is what we got, nothing else, we can learn to cultivate it, and love it. Or we can waste our lifetimes in doing nothing but hating this life we were given. Pie-in-the-sky "better" worlds, or "hoped for" future "peaceable tyrannies" I'll leave to the pessimists, the misanthropes, and those with an acquired taste for the gall of bitterness, and for dwelling in daily dissatisfaction. As for me, I'll take this world, today, and will rejoice and be glad in it. todah le'YHWH |

Maybe Europe would have remained Celtic or Teutonic in its mythology if there had been no Roman church :huh: |
