This is my post for #freewriters 2303 prompt the other Bible hosted by @mariannewest

My Dad would tell me that the Bible has been changed over the years, people who did not like the way something was worded would change it when reprinting. He would say things like, it was not an apple that Eve ate, she did not eat anything, she, shall I say strayed from Adam. I do not know if this is true but I did see a TV show recently that talked about how things were changed or were left out of the Bible, one being The Book of Enoch, some could call it The Other Bible or part of the original Bible.

Enoch was an odd fellow if you ask me. He talked about giants and Hell being like a holding cell in Heaven and this is why they say it was left out. I do not agree with people changing things that were originally written just because they have a different viewpoint and the power to change them. Let us decide if we want to believe that there were once giants.

Sort:  

Let us decide if we want to believe that there were once giants.

Our right to decide what to believe is being eroded on all fronts. WE can see here that rewriting history to shape our beliefs, and so our actions, has been going on for as long as information has been a thing.

It would scare us if we knew how many lies we have been told.

or empower us to stop believing more lies. That's what knowing has done for me. If it's government approved, it is likely untrue.

so true
