What's 'living according to the Bible'?

A known problem when trying to live 'according to the Bible', is that there are many version and translations of that famous collection of books. Because the Bible is just that: a collection of books. And the patriarchy decided which books to leave out because they were displeasing to them.

Left out Bible books contradict the story of Genesis, give details about the early life of Jesus church leaders don't want their sheep to know about, because apparently little Jesus was known for his capricious acts. The early church leaders left out Bible books that give details on historical events that don't fit the narrative they invented but also tell interesting tales about angels.

The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden contain quite a bit of writings that would unsettle evangelicals and a lot of other christians from any of the 45,000+ denominiations of christianity and the 7 main denominations of Judaism. Believers would seriously question their church leaders and the church leaders would not like that.

So, if you got married 'according to the Bible', do you have 1,000 partners just like Salomon (1 Kings 11:3)? Or a wife, a concubine and a male lover like King David? Or a relationship like Lot had with his daughters? Who together fathered the founders of the tribes Moabites and Ammonites?

And did you know the Moabites once defeated the people of the tribe of Israel?

I could go on and on and on. But the point is clear, I think: many people who call themselves 'christians' have no idea of what's actually in the Bible - let alone what's in the books their leaders left out on purpose - because they blindly believe (...) what their leaders order them to believe.

If you call yourself a true christian, you're probably reading this from a prison cell. Because you killed your neigbour for washing his car on Sunday 'because anyone working on the Sabbath shall be killed', as ordered to you in Exodus 35:2.

Hallelujah!

On Threads I've created a list for users of the social media app that I call 'Hallelujah folk.' I place these idiots in the same category as racists, antisemites, homophobes, antivaxxers, Trump fans, karens and flat earthers. In Dutch there's an umbrella term for all these homeschoolers and science deniers: "Wappies".

I for one hope their dream comes true and The Rapture will actually come to swoop them up and make them disappear from the planet.

I think it's funny that hallelujah folk have no idea that The Rapture is mentioned in the original Bible just as often as The Antichrist or homosexuality: not at all.

That weird idea of a rapture was based on believers being "caught up" to meet Jesus in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. Only a handful of the over 45,000 denominations of christianity believe in a literal Rapture. Although 'antichrist' is mentioned a few times in the Bible, that collection of books also states there's more than one and basically warns of false prophets only pretending to be talking to God and asking their followers to pay them to wear their mark on their heads.

Did you know there are over 45,000 denominations of Christianity, that The Rapture is not biblical and that there are many Antichrists?

Most people who claim to be good Jews or Christians really don't know their own Holy Scripture. Many of them wrongfully think Jesus spoke Hebrew, for example. Fake believers don't even know that 'Allah' is just the name for God in a different language.
