One of it, The Ethiopian Bible.

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 link didn’t bring out a list of books.
Hope you are reading and practicing it.

You must dig some. Here for the Christianity section.

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".

So why are you asking again lol

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.

Messiah and Christ means same thing.

Which both mean saviour, and which Zoroastrians will call saoshyant.

The one you were talking about....

The subject was other books that did not make it into the Bible, May. Or do I sound to you like a person who only reads one book?

You said christ, Christos comes from messiah.

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.

Ethiopian Bible is the most complete Bible.

What subject, May?

Maynman:
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.

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.

Maynman:
Why are you mixing a Zoroastrian word with English?

Messiah is a Hebrew word, chritos is a Greek word, Christos is gotten from messiah. What does messiah mean in Hebrew?

Because I do not eat only bread, and because I understand the messianic concept and idea.

Messiah means saviour. It is not the name of a any person just as much as doctor or welder is not one person's name.

You should check other books that were left out in the version you are reading.

I'm certain you already read me refer to other books, May.

Please, not only "other books that were left out in the version", but other books that are completely unrelated to that single book, like those by or about Buddha, Osiris, Aristotle, Plato, Heraclitus, Fela, Paul, Mohammed, Lao Tzu, Osiris, etc etc etc.

I would not ask you not to live by bread alone so as not to be ignorant and stupid, and then myself only eat bread!

I think the entire collection of books is awesome. I'm wading through it once more.

Messiah is a Hebrew word.
Saoshyant is a Zoroastrian word.
Savior is a English word..

So, if I say I will saoshyan you, you will understand I'm saving you right? And if I say I'm your messiah you'd not say I was Christ?

Yeah the Christians that wrote the New Testament, didn’t you call the book, dumb down version?

I called an understanding that insists on believing, a dumbed down version.

I myself consider the Bible one of the most undumb books out there. Pity dumb belief is what most get from it.

Messiah is a title gotten from Hebrew.
Jesus is a messiah so as joshua.

Well, according to you, Saoshyant is a messiah too.

Maynman:
Savior is a English word.. what do they call savior in Zoroastrian?
Call them by their name, and leave messiah for the Hebrew

Messiah is not a name, except for Christians who think no one else but them can be saved by a person they call Messiah.

One does not call ideas and concepts by "their names", May. They are ideas and concepts, and not people.

Christianity Etc › Re: What Is God? by budaatum(op): 6:19pm On Apr 21, 2022

Maynman:
That means they both mean Christ.

“Savior” is a English word same as “christ”

Really, May? So, if I am your saviour, I must be Christ, right? I can't just be a person who saved you from say, hunger, or being hit by a bus?

Did the zoroastrians speak Hebrew? What language did they speak? Now translate it to that to know what they said.

Do they have to speak Hebrew to have a messiah, May? Can Zoroastrians not call their saviour Saoshyant, which what you posted is their messiah?

Perhaps focus on the concept instead of the person Christianity embodies their messiah in. It might help you understand it better.

Bro read na

Did Zoroastrians get their messiah from the Hebrews, May, or is it your claim they never had a messiah?

Christianity Etc › Re: What Is God? by budaatum(op): 6:03pm On Apr 21, 2022

Maynman:
What are you doing bro.
“Messiah” is gotten from Hebrew, the name.. they were talking about the “messiah concept” of other religion.
Did they call them messiah in that other religion?

So, they have to call messiahs messiah before you see they are messianic?

Sorry, but my brain does not work like yours seems to.

Keep deceiving yourself.

I do not expect any different from you. You know of messianism from the Bible alone and can not consider it not being unique to the Bible.

The Jesus story started from the Hebrew Bible, stop fighting it

Please stop with the strawmanning! I've never said the Jesus story had any other "start"!

The Bible, as we know it today, is the only place you'd find the Jesus story, May. Well, that, and in other related texts that never got into the Bible.

The ideas in the story are not only Hebrew, however, as you'd find if you research some. The Hebrews, if by that you mean the Israelites, never even accepted the Jesus story, but called it a Greek story.

Christianity Etc › Re: What Is God? by budaatum(op): 5:37pm On Apr 21, 2022

Maynman:
It’s gotten from Hebrew

Wherever the word messiah may have been gotten from, you are aware the idea of saviour itself is not Hebrew, shown by evidence that others had saviours long before Christ in the link you yourself posted.

Or would you like to claim Jesus is the only saviour?

The New Testament said so, or is that the dumb part of the book?

budaatum:
Messiah is not gotten from Hebrew, and there were lots of messiahs long before Christos.

And the writing is not dumb once you realise it is pointing you where to seek, but if you do not go seeking, you'd get the dumb version and you'd ignorantly believe it.

It was you that said it was. So you are cherry picking the part you want in a dumb down version..
When they said Jesus was the word they were smart,but they were dumb in writing the rest?

Christos is gotten from Greek and gotten from Hebrew means messiah.

Messiah is not gotten from Hebrew, and there were lots of messiahs long before Christos.

And the writing is not dumb once you realise it is pointing you where to seek, but if you do not go seeking, you'd get the dumb version and you'd ignorantly believe it.

A dumb down version right?

Well, depending on how you take it of course.

If for believing, then yes, dumb. For as Christ is written to have said, "the lame walk, blind see, deaf hear, dumb talk". Only to the poor is the Gospel preached.

P.s. I know you'd understand those words biblically. It's not how I've meant them.

Christianity Etc › Re: What Is God? by budaatum(op): 5:08pm On Apr 21, 2022

Maynman:
New Testament is written in Greek. The story is gotten from Hebrew origin. All the references are of Hebrew origin because it’s a continuation of the Old Testament.

What’s written in the Bible is not so including jesus as Logos, or you cherry-picking?

The story of Jesus has no Hebrew origin, May. It was cobbled together from numerous stories about messiahs that were prevalent at the time and in history. Neither the trinity nor the resurrection are original Hebrew ideas.

Christianity Etc › Re: What Is God? by budaatum(op): 5:05pm On Apr 21, 2022

So why then did you relate a dumb down version that contains a Jesus story to “logos”?

How many times must I repeat that the relating was done in the prologue of the Gospel of John, May, are you not following links at all?
