The books that were left out by the canon and the Catholic Church. The Bible literally means collection of books.
hope you know the Ethiopian Bible is the most complete Bible.
You know, revelation didn’t almost make it through

Yes I do know. Rutherford H. Platt's The Forgotten Books of Eden is a very good book on the subject.

You are obsessed with that Hebrew word huh. You are saying “messianic” because you’ve read stories about it. If you were born in another place, you’ll use that language to call whatever instead of Hebrew.

Messiah means what? Is savior a Hebrew word? Lol
I wonder which of us introduced "messiah" here. I bet it wasn't me.

I use "messiah" because it's what is understood by most here. I could use Buddhist words instead, but they'd fly over most people's heads, especially when I claim no messiah will save anyone who does not save their self.

I think you are the one who's obsessed with a word. And I'm asking you to expand your thinking beyond Christianity.

I can after all be a messiah to a person I give 1k to, and that wouldn't make me Christ.

Here's one list with some books I read on the subject of religion, of which Christianity is only a subsection. It might help you understand my extent. It includes books not even considered for the Bible

And no, I have not read them all, but I been at it for about 20 years or so, just so you know.

As I keep repeating, not only bread, but every word the gods may have written.

You must dig some. Here for the Christianity section.
https://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/index.htm

And here's from Rutherford alone.

As for what I practice, by my fruits you should be able to tell, though I'm tempted to ask what you mean by "practice".

I take it you read Ge’ez and Amharic, because some of the text in that book have not yet been translated into English.

The Hebrew Bible was written in Aramaic(Hebrew) and it has been translated to Ethiopian Bible and the rest.

The Ethiopian Bible is a translation of the Hebrew Bible.
The Hebrew Bible was not written in English.

They said Ethiopian orthodox, you know what “orthodox” mean?

The English Bible is also a translation of the Hebrew Bible, so why should I read it in a language I do not understand, if that's all you do?

There are some texts in the Ethiopian Bible that have not yet been translated, so you must indeed read Ge’ez and Amharic in which they are in.

Lucky you, is all I can say.

Bro the Hebrew Bible was written in ahmaric/Aramaic language. And they translated it to Ethiopian bible and the rest, you are not understanding what you are reading, you are just learning it now to argue.

The English Bible which version? And it’s not a translation from the Hebrew Bible, it is translated from a Greek Bible.

So, you read a translation of the Hebrew Bible translated into Ge’ez and Amharic, while I read the Bible in English translated from the Greek and the Hebrew.

Is there anything in your Ethiopian Bible that is not in the English, May?

I wish you’ll just calm down and learn. Take your time and learn what a Hebrew Bible is, what versions of Greek Bible we have and which version was used to translate to English Bible.
Because you are just taking the “Ethiopian, Hebrew, English” Bible as literal.

The “original language” is in Hebrew(aramaic) for Old Testament and Greek for New Testament. Hebrew Bible is not a translation, it’s the original Bible lol.

I concede, you win.

Don't you think it is you who needs to calm down May? How can I possibly be taking stories and allegory and mythology as literal?

Unless you are reading your Bible in the original language, you are reading a translation too, and likely a translation from a translation, so what makes you any different?

I was looking for this for you. It's a list of messiahs who died and resurected.

God is a semantic from the word, Go(o)d...The only person that is Good is Father, the existed in all existences, for example He is Leader and Teacher of all that is created. since I am not Omnipresent I believe in the land of Mankind or humans he is a guide to direct the affairs of man, in the Kingdom of plants He is pollinating and feeding them in a way I can not physically explain, as with other creatures seen and not seen...God is Almighty Father who is a supernatural Teacher

This question was asked of me by MuttleyLaff here. I have created a thread for it to share it with others who may not wish to derail John's Gospel.

His question has provoked thought in me and I believe it would provoke thought in you too. So, no knee jerks please. Think before you respond.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/god

Popular etymology has long derived God from good; but a comparison of the forms ... shows this to be an error. Moreover, the notion of goodness is not conspicuous in the heathen conception of deity, and in good itself the ethical sense is comparatively late. [Century Dictionary, 1897]

“Good” is not a Semantic word.
god comes from germanic origin gudan, which means “to pour”.
