The Septuagint (LXX) Compared to the Masoretic Text Judaism was in a crisis after the Temple was destroyed in AD 70. The basis of its religion had been rituals performed in the Temple that could only be performed there by their law. The Priests were gone. The Sanhedrin was gone. So were the Sadducees. Only […]

WHEN DID NIMROD LIVE? DID HE LEAD THE BABEL REBELLION?
David Rohl, a highly-regarded Egyptologist, points out that to discover who Nimrod is, we must consider all the names by which he is known – for there are many historical or quasi-historical figures which allude to the biblical Nimrod. Says Rohl: Assur [one such name] lived in the city of Nineveh’ and was the eponymous […]
A FUN AND INFORMATIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE GOSSLINGS
This was a fun interview covering many of the topics in Rebooting the Bible and A Biography of the Christian Bible. I hope you will listen in and share if you enjoy the 80 minutes we conversed. Blessings to everyone!
THE APOCRYPHA, PSEUDEPIGRAPHA, ADAMIC BOOKS, AND OTHER WRITINGS THAT DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT
The King James Bible Contained the Apocrypha? DO TELL! Much to the chagrin of King James Only advocates, it isn’t just Catholic and Orthodox Bibles that include the Apocrypha. The early editions of the King James Bible, including the revered 1611 KJV, also contained the Apocrypha. It is a part of our history, and despite […]
WHAT BOOKS WERE IN, AND WHAT BOOKS WERE OUT? THE APOCRYPHA AND THE BIBLE
The Latin Vulgate and Its Reliance on the Septuagint When we arrive at the time of Jerome at the outset of the fifth century A.D., it is perfectly clear that the canon for the Christian Church was a settled issue. It included books “of the first order” (those acclaimed canonical) and “other books” from the […]
A NEW JUDAISM AND A HUMAN MESSIAH?
Only a few short years after the destruction of Herod’s Temple, the rabbis (aka “sages”) formed an instruction academy in the village of Jamnia (outside of today’s Tel Aviv), allegedly with permission directly from Titus himself to preserve the Jewish religion. The rabbis would teach young students the ways of the Torah, preparing them for […]
WHICH BIBLE PRESENTS THE AUTHENTIC CHRONOLOGY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT?
Have We Been Wrong All This Time? In contrast to the majority Christian view that sees the Hebrew Masoretic text’s (MT) timeline of Genesis 5 and 11 as the authentic chronology (the MT is the ancient text upon which most Old Testament’s are based), there is overwhelming proof that it is not what the Bible […]
TWO TEXT-TYPE FAMILIES: WHICH ONE REPRESENTS THE AUTHENTIC NEW TESTAMENT?
Over the past two millennia, two families of texts have been at odds, with supporters asserting their preference constitutes the genuine New Testament text. The laity is hardly aware of this debate, let alone easily able to appreciate it. Nonetheless, for those scholars (and sometimes those who think they are), there exists a genuine dispute […]
MESSIANIC PROPHECIES ALTERED BY THE RABBIS TO OBSCURE THAT JESUS WAS THE PROMISED MESSIAH
In my books, Rebooting the Bible, Parts 1 and 2, I describe how the first-century rabbis corrupted the Tanakh intentionally to obscure the fact that Jesus of Nazareth was their Messiah. In a related book, A Biography of the Christian Bible, I summarize the essential areas where the rabbis changed the scriptures to deny Christian […]
WHY THE BIBLE’S WORDING GROWS MORE AUTHENTIC AS TIME GOES ON
WHY THE KING JAMES OLD TESTAMENT ISNT’ THE LAST WORD As we discussed in the last article, the KJV used the Bomberg (ben Chayyim) edition, completed about 150 years before the KJV. But scholars do not consider it to be as accurate as the 1977 Biblia Hebraica based on the Aleppo and Leningrad Codices available today. We have been aware of […]
