Since the Roman Empire took over Christianity around year 380, they inverted the meaning.
Clergy avoids verse "1 John 4:20"
And a few other key verses: Romans 11:32, "1 John 3:17" on wealth, Galatians 3:28 (there is no male or female gender, trans-gender, etc).
In fact, all 3 major Levant religions get it ass-backwards, it isn't just Bible clergy and Church venues.
"Joseph Campbell says religious literalism sets Satan in the seat of God", "To the formula of mythic dissociation, there must now be added that of “social identification”: identification with Israel, with the Church as the Living Body of Christ, or with the Sunna of Islam — each body over-interpreted by its membership as the one and only holy thing in this world. And the focal center and source of all this holiness is concentrated in each case in a completely unique and special fetish — not a symbol, but a fetish: (1) the Ark of the Covenant in the Temple; (2) the Torah in the Synagogue; (3) the Bible of the Reformation; (5) the Koran, as well as (6) the Ka’aba, of Islam.

"There is nothing more tragic than to see an individual whose heart is filled with hate. He comes to the point that he becomes a pathological case. For the person who hates, you can stand up and see a person and that person can be beautiful, and you will call them ugly. For the person who hates, the beautiful becomes ugly and the ugly becomes beautiful. For the person who hates, the good becomes bad and the bad becomes good. For the person who hates, the true becomes false and the false becomes true. That's what hate does. You can't see right. The symbol of objectivity is lost." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Moses and a "burning bush" was a man using creative science fiction of "space aliens beamed down this message" (like the Monolyth being beamed down to apes in the science fiction film "2001 A Space Odyssey" in year 1968).
The most creative science fiction storytelling sets morality, Donald Trump has turned the White House into a fiction media venue for all the world stage, with Elon Musk Twitter owner broadcasting fiction content constantly.
We are gods, according to the Psalm:
But it is of little value if we refuse to do any act in the service of our fellow humans.
I've often wondered if the Pauline epistles were of various authorship.
Peter and other apostles were decidedly misogynistic; lost gospels has Jesus rebuking them for it. I don't recall exactly which, but if I had to guess, Gospel of Mary.
YouTube has the entire Ethiopian Bible, with all the lost books. But you have to go back to the Jewish encyclopedia, my Jewish learning, some kabbalah and Aramaic translation sites to get a clear understanding, since many words had multiple meanings, then Greek and Roman translators picked the one that made the best working sense to them, whether for practical or political reasons, often both being the same, probably. Jubilees and Testament of Solomon are wild.
Btw the lost Book of Adam and Eve was found, there are similarities and discrepancies in what I've been able to find, for free. I've yet to find the whole translated book, for free.
ETA: you're welcome. Please forgive my atrocious manners.
Thanks so much for a gracious reply. I'm glad you enjoy learning. Please feel free to share Buddhist and Taoist (and Hindu) finds with me, as well! I'm rather fond of them too, because
Absolutely agree with this.
