Mousetrails - The First Holy War - Page 2

I have no argument with most of the New Testament. I cannot find fault with Jesus Christ who came to this earth to teach us to treat our fellow man as we would want to be treated and to show us love beyond our pitiful human comprehension.

But I do believe the men who put all the books they found into one binding, called it a Bible, and ended it with The Apocalypse was to scare humans into Christianity. I believe The Apocalypse is a bad joke.

I also feel that placing the Old and New Testament in the same binding was a terrible mistake. My guess is that the Old Testament is a compilation of "living history" stories that grew bigger every time they were told. However the New Testament was written by men that actually lived through those times.

I tried several times to contact a Rabbi about my ideas. I was hung up on and laughed at, but I found I was correct about my thoughts on the Messiah.

From the book, Mousetrails."

War Holy The Mousetrails

Mousetrails, you mentioned in your book that your research and thoughts come from following the Bible exactly how it is written, so basically you do not think there are any mistranslations or mistakes at all?

LDS, you are coming from a perspective that is unique to your sect of christianity, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, and Fundamentalists hold the ideal that the Bible is perfect and infallible. Thus if you are going to write a book regarding the Old Testament that will be read by people that believe such, you have to play the game on their level. I know many LDS members do not consider the Bible to be the infallible word of god and do take into account for mistranslations and other issues that just happen to text over time, but the majority of christians and their sects do not. My parents for one do not believe that god allows errors to happen in the bible, thus the reason for christian apologetics. But this book shows in detail that the god of the jews could not have been the same god jesus talked about. One spoke of love and mercy, and the other, well it really just depended on his mood. At times it was mercy, some times it was total annihilation, some times it was wiping out thousands then stopping because he was "having mercy on them". Many people just aren't taught what the old testament really says. But they believe it is infallible word for word. If you take it like that, they will be stunned, nary I say shocked at what they find. This books purpose is to show you what you aren't taught in church. To show you that unless you simply re-interpret scripture to mean what sounds nice, its a very nasty and bloody tale that involves the massacre, at times, of everyone including "sucklings" in a city, but save the gold and virgins for god and yourself. Its often not pretty, and thats what this book strives to show people. In a nutshell, this book goes where most pastors dare not tread for fear of the consequences. I am half way through and have learned things I never knew before, but there they are, in plain text. If you read the actual scripture for yourself, sometimes the truth you dig up, is the evidence that buries you.

Wow! As usual Konquererz is much more eloquent than I and to this point in his reading has exactly nailed the idea I attempted to put across.

The only thing I can add is that the book does end well and Christians can still find hope in the Bible. LDS forever, JB has 2 copies. He might let you borrow one. One is paper back, the other is on Adobe.

Actually, she is reading the book, the paperback one that is... and may soon give a full review when she is done. It seems like Konquererz purchased one?

Mousetrails - The First Holy War

No. He was so interested and his views matched mine so close that I was curious what he would think, so I gave him one. I'm very happy with his review. I couldn't beg, borrow, buy, or steal a review like that anywhere before the book went into print.

Sadly, human nature makes most people afraid of the unknown.
There is nothing to be feared in reading something that might enlighten you with different answers and thoughts, than what you were raised to believe in.

Konquererz summed up well with his thoughts, there is nothing to stop anybody checking the Bible themselves, to find out whether information is correct or not.That is our choice if we wish to do so.

Years of research has also been undertaken by Mousetrails to come to the conclusions, and from the snippets that I have seen in his various postings, he backs them up with the 'where' and 'whys' that have brought him to this line of thought.

I intend to look further into the book, it sounds like it promises to make good reading!

I just started reading the book and as soon as I started I could see it was Mousetrails speaking (I suppose because of his style of writing). It is definitely for someone who is open minded because there are parts and comments and way of expression that may be hard for Christians to handle. Kon, since you are half-through it would be great that you keep adding your views, I would do the same as I continue my journey.
