Today’s episode will hit hard at history, and the human race as a whole.

"A hypocritical theocracy is a form of government where political power is held by religious authorities who claim to rule by divine guidance, but whose actions directly contradict the moral and spiritual laws they enforce." (Google AI)

In this episode, I address contradictory beliefs that seem unnervingly similar to those various VERSIONS many claim are holy (each unto itself, now!).

All are holy and yet not all are the same; this is the contradiction we know better as "selective morality."

"Scripture and religious tenets are frequently cherry-picked. Rulers will weaponize specific verses to oppress marginalized groups, while conveniently ignoring the passages that condemn greed, theft, or authoritarian cruelty." (Google AI)

**TRANSLATION: Some [hypocrites] are of the goose not gander mentality,**

"The defining trait of the hypocritical theocracy is that religion stops being a tool for spiritual guidance and instead becomes a political apparatus for subjugating others." (Google AI)

"Theocracy becomes inherently hypocritical when leaders enforce strict religious or moral codes onto the public, yet exempt themselves from these exact rules. The fatal flaw is human nature: the ruling class wields "divine law" as a weapon to maintain control and silence dissent, while indulging their own greed and corruption behind closed doors." (Google AI)

It just blows my mind.. how some people, even locals who know me by other names, will assume they’ve an advantage on people like myself.. pagans, spiritualists, people NOT drinking the kool-aid..

Because they believe in a righteous kill of a man who said too much. Who? jesus christ is who!

Some even now shake their heads in protest..

• ​HUMAN BEINGS who disagreed that gods rule and judge mankind alone killed your jc, CHRISTians.
• ​ same goes for“myths” of mass genocide.

[As long as one refuses to believe “any human body would do such a thing to another human being..” or that it was “before our/my (life)time,” CHRISTians can claim they had “nothing to do with” slavery or the Holocaust.]

Accountability addresses ALL!✊🏾

I will venture, reader, to say that MOST CHRISTians would consider themselves to be “proud christians.”

And many of those humans will never hear my voice, but for those of you who do, especially here today.. where does that PRIDE stem from?

The Bibble? The Virgin Mother? Or perhaps Jesus Christ himself?

Tut tut, listener.. you’re gonna be offended; you were warned.💜

Recently, we’ve touched on the various versions in existence, the conversion of constructed religion, and the reality revealed in your “holy” bibble.

So we’ve returned to the series where we go letter by letter to understand the instruction manual CHRISTians call the “word of (their) god.”

Again… only to a degree, applicable when.. the CHRISTian says so, you understand.

Revelation is a result or outcome that is unexpected or unknown prior to discovery.

This may apply to religion, and interpersonal relationships, as well as scholarly pursuits like history, maths, or science.

“ The Book of Revelation (or Apocalypse of John), the final book of the New Testament, is a symbolic, apocalyptic prophecy written by John on Patmos around 96 CE. Its primary message is the guaranteed triumph of Jesus Christ over evil, offering hope to Christians that God will reign victorious, resulting in a new heaven and earth.

Context and Purpose (of the book of Revelations):

• ​ Author/Setting: Written by "John" while in exile on the island of Patmos.

• ​ Audience: Addressed to seven churches in Asia Minor facing persecution, encouraging steadfast faith.

• ​ Genre: Apocalyptic literature, using heavy symbolism, imagery from the Old Testament (Daniel, Ezekiel, Exodus), and allegory to depict cosmic spiritual realities rather than a literal chronological timeline.

The two final events described in the book of Revelation:

• ​ The Final Conflict: The battle between God and evil forces, featuring figures such as the Dragon, the Beast, and the Whore of Babylon.

• ​ The Final Victory: The second coming of Christ, the final judgment, and the establishment of the New Jerusalem.

Interpretations of the book of Revelation:

• ​ Preterist: Views events as largely fulfilled in the 1st-century Roman world.

• ​ Historicist: Sees it as a panorama of history from the first century to the end.

• ​ Futurist: Interprets most of the book as events yet to take place in the end times.

• ​ Idealist/Symbolic: Views it as a symbolic depiction of the continuous battle between good and evil. ”

A Google search of “how many versions are there of the Christian bible in English?” resulted in the following result(s), in AI mode.

…….

“

​There are approximately 450 to over 900 English versions, translations, and paraphrases of the Christian Bible available, depending on whether individual revisions are counted. While the American Bible Society notes about 900 printed English translations or paraphrases, Patheos notes over 450 distinct versions. These range from literal (e.g., KJV, ESV) to thought-for-thought (e.g., NIV) and paraphrased (e.g., The Message) translations.

Key aspects of English bible versions:

• ​Total Translations: Estimates often cite over 900 versions, including partial translations.
• ​Most Common Versions: Widely used translations in modern English include the New International Version (NIV), English Standard Version (ESV), King James Version (KJV), New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), and New American Standard Bible (NASB).
• ​Types of Translation: Versions are categorized by their approach, such as formal equivalence ("word-for-word") or functional equivalence ("thought-for-thought").

History: Since William Tyndale’s first English translation in 1526, hundreds of versions have been produced.

Distinction: Many versions are actually revisions or updates of previous translations, such as the ESV being a revision of the RSV. ”

……

We know religion to be a form of worship, and each belief system contains different principles and teachings. Within the Judeo-Christian faiths, these teachings teach us what was believed to be holy or miraculous and what was to be considered abhorrent and sinful.

And to think along the lines of “BIGGER than any bibble,” well, that’s blasphemy, and we speak heresy.. again, to each their perspective.

“Conversion is the act, process, or instance of changing something from one form, state, function, or belief to another.” [AI search results, Google.com search> ”define conversion”]

Welcome back!

It’s been a good long time since last you had fresh blasphemy to absorb, Christian Truth listeners (and critics😉).

In this episode, we will cover ‘Conversion.’

Conversion is the action or process of changing something into something else, either through adaptation, evolution, or coercion.

Enjoy! I look forward to further discussions.💜
