When we read ancient books such as the Bible, the story of the "shepherd and the sheep" is commonly presented as an allegorical fable that is often used in religion to convey a moral lesson. In this fable, the shepherd cares for and protects the sheep, which may initially be interpreted as a noble act of care and responsibility. However, the shepherd's true intention is immediately revealed when it becomes known that his ultimate goal is to take advantage of the sheep for his own personal gain. To fatten them, to steal their wool, to eat them, to extract their milk, and so on.
The lesson then takes on a different character, it changes. Appearances do not always reflect people's true intentions, it is important to be cautious and not to trust blindly in kind appearances.
We, let us understand by "we" those of us who are "Roman Catholic Christians", must believe in a truth that is inspired by God. 40 books of the Old Testament. For the Jews, it is a little more than 20 books, if you are a Protestant, well... The same as the Jews, if you are a Coptic Christian, well, it is more or less the same as for the Jews, plus others (Psalm 151, the Prayer of Manasseh, Book III of Ezra, Book III of Maccabees and Book IV of Maccabees. Also including the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees). Which are true neither for Jews nor for Catholics. For orthodox Christianity, the canon for the Old Testament is based on the Septuagint, a Greek translation made between the third and second centuries B.C. for the Hebrews of Alexandria. Which, by the way, is considered by the Jews as a disgrace to humanity.
This is how we can deduce that, depending on where we are born, are the books in which we should believe and the others, the books in which we should not believe. In the world there are thousands of religions, at least a hundred are really the most important. Who in a minimum degree of reasonableness can say that he is in the right religion? No one, no one in this world, who I repeat, is sensible. But right from birth we are literally trained like sheep. A term that is in no way goodist, as I mentioned at the beginning of this article, and in which of course "the shepherd" must take care of said sheep and prevent others from killing them. Because the one who should benefit from them is him. It sounds horrifying, but. That's how we are trained and believe we have grown up in the right place. Boy, are we in luck.
Now... Let's not talk about me, who at this point might be considered by one or the other as the antichrist personified. Let's talk about you, reader of this article. Who knows he is not perfect at all or free of sin, and is afraid of spending a few years in purgatory, getting a little burned or over tanned. I would tell you the following, if you want to remain a Christian, continue to have the same god, and remain faithful to Christ. It is enough that tomorrow morning you convert to orthodox Christianity and thus eliminate any chance of ending up in purgatory. Since orthodox theology never elaborated the idea of a purgatory, therefore for them purgatory does not succeed. If you are afraid of spending eternity in hell, convert to orthodox Christianity. You will go there, but not forever, your torment will end at the end of time. In a sense that from now until the end of the world all those souls who are in hell will have time to repent, and then they will repent and hell will close its doors. All to paradise! Lead the life as you want, you will go to paradise, but before... remember, wear sunscreen.
Something curious is how they have managed to build systems of power from what a book says, or rather people who make people say things that are not in that book. Because this is not a discovery, it is enough to read what is written. Without much difficulty, without making lucubrations. As, for example, the term omnipotent that, in ancient Hebrew, does not exist.
One of the many things that do not exist.
The term omnipotent, almighty, does not exist, at least not in the bible. If we read carefully, Genesis chapter 17 verse 1 says the following:
And when Abram was ninety and nine years old, the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God: band before me, and be thou perfect.
Actually in Hebrew, the term used is אל שדי or "El Shaddai". It is usually translated as "God omnipotent" or "God almighty", although the more accurate and literal translation is "The lord of the mountain or lord of the steppe".
Whoever reads the bible carefully will see that it speaks of a family, the Adamites, who lived in territories or valleys, bordered by mountains. Which would sound consistent with "lord of the steppe". But about the Elohim I already wrote in another article. If you are interested, you can have a read:
Who and why for centuries has been interested in us believing a part of what may possibly have happened, and yet no one is really certain? I am not building anything, just putting a brick to think about. I end my reflection today by warning. Don't be a sheep.
