The Bible is a phenomenal and life changing book. It is the Word of God, start to finish, infallible, sharper than any sword, and intended for teaching the Truth. It is the biography of Christ from Its first words to Its last.

That said, there is also no more misunderstood writing in history. The Word is regularly used by enemies of God to attempt to undermine Christ and His purpose.

One battle that I regularly encounter among the White Power movement is the Old Testament. There is a mistaken belief that when God set apart Abraham and gave Moses the Law, that He was establishing them as “superior.” He wasn’t.

They were an experiment.

The experiment, as revealed over the course of the Old Testament, and resolved in the New Testament, was to examine a people given every advantage and blessing. It would ultimately demonstrate how, even with everything God provided to them, they would still be so ungrateful, so greedy, so nasty, that they would kill their own savior and reject God’s Holy Hand.

They were the spoiled royal children who never worked a day, who abused the servants in their Father’s palace, and at the end of the day, when it came time to take on their familial duties, sold out to an enemy kingdom in exchange for leisure and pleasure.

The Old Testament promises to Abraham, the writings and provisions in the Law of Moses, these were not a showcase of the impressive nature of the line of Jacob, but of the greatness of God in the face of His unworthy, ungrateful children.

Christ came in perfection, fulfilling the Law, in humility, and in love to His people, and they crucified Him because He didn’t tell them they were special enough. He ordered them to turn back to God. He pointed out their evil. They murdered Him for the simple act of telling the Truth.

They killed the prophets. They killed the Messiah. They killed the Apostles. Their Day of Atonement is coming. The price they will pay for their disloyalty is spoken in Luke 23:28-31

> But Jesus turning to them said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. “For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ “Then they will begin TO SAY TO THE MOUNTAINS, ‘FALL ON US,’ AND TO THE HILLS, ‘COVER US.’ “For if they do these things in the green tree, what will happen in the dry?”

The Old Testament, the Covenants and the Law were never intended to establish Israel as an untouchable, unassailable nation, but instead to damn them as the most corrupt, having been given everything, and still refusing to be loyal to God.

The ultimate fulfillment of the Covenants is a topic for another day, but Jerusalem, the Whore of Babylon, will fall, and will do so by God’s Holy Hand.

The standard belief is that God knows everything about the future, but time and time again in the old testament we see God depicted as believing one thing will happen yet getting a different result. I used to do mental gymnastics trying to understand this while believing God knew all of the future. Later on I learned that God has a blind spot. God is righteous and cannot think like an evil, corrupt being. He is also hopeful and positive. So in the old testament examples I vaguely remember, God says that he thought by being good to his people that they would turn to Him and let Him take care of them. They did not do that.

God did not seem to even insist on a detailed following of the Law during the reign of kings. He wanted them to stay away from idols and false gods and humble themselves and call upon him. There is a discrediting and dismissal of all foreign nations depicted in the old testament, and it's not wrong or unjustified. These nations lived futile lives with no hope of being saved from their errors and futility. When we get to the time of Jesus, even Jesus referred to a gentile woman as a dog when he said it is not good to give the children's bread to dogs. Jews using the term goyim comes straight from the old testament.

Something interesting I realized is that you can't really build a case for Jesus enabling people to go to heaven (or some other wonderful place) where this would've been impossible without it. The experts in Jewish scripture had come to the conclusion that a messiah would lead them in a military revolt against Rome. The earliest documents show Barabbas as being Jesus Barabbas or having the same name as Jesus. The name was Yashua/Yeshua/Joshua in Hebrew and means God's salvation. By choosing Barabbas over Jesus, they chose a military revolt against Rome as their salvation instead of the real Messiah who frees people on the inside.

You probably think what I said is nonsense based on Jesus providing "eternal life." First of all, translating it as "eternal" is wrong and the Greek term is more like age-enduring that ultimately implies the life is continuous. This continuous life is provided to people here and now with Jesus's blood covering the imperfections and immorality that would normally disqualify someone from receiving it. This continuous life is the life God intended people to live from the beginning and will be the only life allowed in the extremely distant future after rewards and punishments are meted out. I don't believe there are direct afterlife implications to the work of Jesus. Certainly, you'll have a better afterlife experience if you get with Jesus now, but his work is not necessary for God to forgive and restore anyone who has died already. I know this is a radical concept to the majority of Christians, but I really can't reject the idea that God can forgive and restore outside of this world without anything extra being added to it. The deep-rooted idea comes from the historical, afterlife-centered idea of the work of Jesus. Jesus came to provide tickets to heaven (or get out of hell free cards) instead of life that is to be utilized and lived right now.

I study the scripture in Greek.

I think Hebrew is the language that matters most. God's plan and requirements came to people such as Abraham in the Hebrew language, and this lasted over 1000 years before Aramaic came into being and the production of the Septuagint. Having the New Testament in Greek was a necessary compromise for getting the message distributed. The most accurate understanding will come from studying Hebrew and acknowledging that several Greek terms are just Hebrew equivalents established by the Septuagint. When you see "hades" in Greek, you need to acknowledge this is what they used in place of "sheol." You don't go study Greek mythology and what it says about "hades" to understand what Hebrew-speakers believed.

For centuries now people have been taught that aionios means eternal and into the ages of ages (something using aion twice) means forever and ever, and this error has scarcely been corrected. Both terms are based on statements with "olam" in Hebrew. The second being a sort of doubling olam that is like into olam and into olam again. Even many Jews don't seem to have the correct understanding of olam. I once saw a video with a rabbi saying that there is no term for eternity in Hebrew and to imply that you'd have to say "without end." Because olam is translated wrong, we get a lot of ridiculous statements in the old testament, and I found one in the book of Enoch. I believe Enoch 10:10.

Enoch 10:10 refers to people who wanted to live 500 years and then poetically emphasizes that by saying they want to live into olam (the distant unforeseen future). Translators do all kinds of ridiculous gymnastics to make sense of this meaning eternal. The first translation I read just went from 500 years to eternity. Woah, that escalated fast. Another decided to claim they wanted to live 500 years on earth and then gain eternal life for the afterlife.

I've read a lot of old testament recently, and I'm seeing statements where God promises to establish a king's lineage "forever" if the lineage is good and faithful. Literally, forever? Like the reign of kings in Israel would still be going now if they were good? What about even preventing the world from ending, because the lineage must go in. If you understand, olam doesn't mean eternal or forever, then it puts an end to the crazy statements.

What is it that Jesus died to provide? It is chai le olam (aionios zoea). There's that word olam. It is the life of ages. It is continuous life. It is the life God intended in the beginning and what he will bring people to in the future.

Jesus taught from the Septuagint. So did the Apostles.

You're overthinking this. Think of a playwright. He wrote the script, He knows every line that He dictated will be included, He knows the ending. Will he stop an actor from ad-libbing a scene? No. Will He chain an actress to the stage if she pitches a fit and tries to quit? No. Will He drag the audience into the theater if they prefer to smoke crack in the alleyway? Rarely.

Omniscience makes sense if you assume it means knowing all that has happened or that He will cause to happen (like the play's ending). It doesn't mean erasing free will to make every action certain and known.

It is the Word of God, start to finish, infallible

and

They were an experiment.

Both statements cannot be true. God would not have to experiment because that negates omnipotence and also implies God is not in control of the outcomes. If that were true, then Revelation is implausible since it indicates a set outcome rather than one that is altered by the actions of people who were not also predefined to a specific end. It cannot be both ways and still hold the notion of infallibility.

The word of God is not the bible. The word of God is found in your own covenant with him. The bible is just a highly variable collection of stories by man which has many, many continuity errors and contradictions. The word of God is in you rather than in a book.

Wrong.

God didn’t do the experiment for His own sake. This is the proof to show all of creation, both natural and supernatural, how man is fully and solely the master of his own misery, sin and suffering.

God knew the outcome. He didn’t have to perform the experiment. He also didn’t have to make the universe. He could have folded the whole thing up after the Fall in Eden. He does what He does for His own pleasure and purposes.

Eden - Man has no “sin nature” - Man has an external tempter - Result: Fell to temptation- Fail

Pre-Abraham - Man has “sin nature” - All men equal - Result: Nephilim and Babel - Fail

Pre-Moses - Man has “sin nature” - Blessed line of people - Result: Blessed people disobeyed - Fail

Moses to Christ - Man has “sin nature” - Law given to point out specific sins to avoid - Result: Not only failed to follow the Law, but added their own new rules to the Law - Fail

Christ’s Sacrifice to start of Millennium - Man has “sin nature” - Christ dies for sins and offers simple “faith alone” salvation - Result: Man can’t surrender to Christ - Fail

Millennium - Man has “sin nature” - Satan is bound, so no external temptation, Christ on physical throne of Earth, full evidence, so just accept His Reign and submit - Result: Satan released, millions join rebellion with Satan against Christ - Fail

In all circumstances, it doesn’t matter how ideal, man fails. There are those who accept, but many who don’t.

What is the value of an experiment that keeps ending in failure? If man always has a "sin nature" and never learns from the previous outcomes, then it's not an experiment but instead an exercise in futility. Ultimately it seems the experiment is the cause of the failure.

About 20% of the population is incapable of comprehending hypotheticals. Some people need concrete examples of FAFO to learn.

You can experiment with teaching your kids to eat their vegetables. You also have the power to force feed them brocolli.

If they choose not to eat their vegetables, and you choose not to force feed them, that doesnt make you powerless. It means you're presenting them choices and consequences.

omnipotence

one does not need to experiment when one is omnipotent

is God omnipotent or does God require experimentation to see what the outcome will be?

Read my example again. You have the power to force feed your kids. You choose not to because that makes them slaves/prisoners rather than people with free will you want to voluntarily make good choices.
