Here are 3 tests that pretty quickly eliminate almost, if not all, modern bible versions
1. Does Jesus tell a lie in John 7:8-10? We know Jesus never lied, so why would you use a Bible that says He did?
2. Does Hebrews 3:16 say that everyone that Moses led out of Egypt provoked God? We know this isn’t true because Joshua and Caleb remained faithful.
3. Who is credited with the OT quote in Mark 1:2? If it’s only Isaiah, then this is incorrect, since the first part of the quotation is found in Malachi, and not Isaiah.

"If you call a synagogue a brothel, a den of vice, the Devil's refuge, Satan's fortress, a place to deprave the soul, an abyss of every conceivable disaster or whatever you will, you are still saying less than it deserves."

False Doctrine
Serpent Seed pt 1
The Serpent Seed seems to be a core belief in many Christian Identity circles. What is it and is it really false doctrine?
————
Serpent Seed Doctrine may be complex or completely new for some, but it is a topic that must be covered now before moving on with the history and doctrine.

According to the doctrine, Cain and Abel are twins with different fathers through a process called heteropaternal superfecundation, i.e. Eve slept with the serpent and with Adam around the same time. The line of Cain therefore is literally biologically related to Satan. The line of Cain somehow survives the deluge and continues up until today. This is why Christ says the father of the Jews is Satan in John 8:44.
This doctrine is used to justify why non-whites and Jews do not go to heaven no matter what.

This is just a brief explanation, as a better one will be posted in video form later on.
————
The Serpent Seed doctrine really relies on two main things to be true:
1. Somehow Cain was not a giant
2. Somehow Cain's bloodline survived the flood
————
1.
Satan, Lucifer, Gadrel, Satanail, ect. is a fallen angel. As you can read in I Enoch, Book of Giants, Jasher, Jubilees, Testament of Ruben, and even Genesis, that when fallen angels or the "Benei HaʼElōhīm" mate with human women, they create what is called the Nephilim giants.

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of which they chose. ... There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children unto them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
- Genesis 6:2 & 4

Two primary examples of this genetic freak-show is Azazyel and Semyaza, the two fallen angel leaders who mated with many human women and created empires of Nephilim giants.

Samyaza also has taught sorcery, to whom thou hast given authority over those who are associated with him They have gone together to the daughters of men; have lain with them; have become polluted; And have discovered crimes to them. The women likewise have brought forth giants.
I Enoch 9:6-8

Are they not fallen angels just as Satan? Why is Satan breeding with Eve somehow different than Semyaza breeding with is women? As you see here, this creates a hole in the Serpent Seed doctrine. If Satan did impregnate Eve, why did God change the rules after the fact?
Our God YHWH is an unchanging and constant God!

2.
I'm just going to say it, the flood was not a localized flood. All around the world pagan tribes have the same copy paste story of a world wide flood where only one man and his family survived with all the animals.
If the flood was local, why would God make Noah save the animals? Couldn't God just have made animals walk out of the danger zone? Those who claim the flood was localized are ignoring scripture!

And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
- Genesis 6:17

Where in there does it say "only the area you live in" or "only part of the world" will be destroyed?
Some others will say there were some stowaways on the ship with Noah. I will not even entertain this idea, as it is mental gymnastics to the extreme.
————
As you can see, two major plot holes dismantle the Serpent Seed Doctrine completely.

A video from 119 Ministries will be posted for a way more in depth study and debunk of Serpent Seed Doctrine.

God Bless.

False Doctrine
The Serpent Seed pt 2
It is nothing more than an attempt to justify pride and ignore clear Biblical teaching with theological gymnastics at its core. We as Christians should never undermine the plans of YHWH our all knowing God.

Everything I post should go in order, almost like a book from beginning to end save ones and twos

Hiraeth
(n.) a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past.

—A Cymraeg (Welsh) concept/ word.


Jeremiah 22:27
²⁰²¹ᐟᶜᴬᶠ ᴇᴛ ɪɴ ᴛᴇʀʀᴀᴍ, ᴀᴅ ǫᴠᴀᴍ ɪᴘꜱɪ ʟᴇᴠᴀɴᴛ ᴀɴɪᴍᴀᴍ ꜱᴠᴀᴍ ᴠᴛ ʀᴇᴠᴇʀᴛᴀɴᴛᴠʀ ɪʟʟᴠᴄ: ɴᴏɴ ʀᴇᴠᴇʀᴛᴇɴᴛᴠʀ.
¹⁹⁹²ᐟᴮᵂᴹ Ond i’r wlad y bydd arnynt hiraeth am ddychwelyd iddi, ni ddychwelant yno.
¹⁷⁶⁹ᐟᴷᴶⱽ But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.

The Latin phrase, "ǫᴠᴀᴍ ɪᴘꜱɪ ʟᴇᴠᴀɴᴛ ᴀɴɪᴍᴀᴍ", translated literally as "how they raise their soul", is a phrase to denote homesickness; comparable to the Welsh word hiraeth.

Ranking Structure
A brief explanation of each tier and how they work.
————
Tier 1 - Inerrancy
This tier is exclusively for the canonical Bible, excluding any apocryphal writings. The text is the absolute and inerrant.
————
Tier 2 - Secondary Source
This tier is for secondary sources that the Bible references and/or works with accurate prophecy and history without any contradiction to Biblical history, doctrine and prophecy.
————
Tier 3 - Important Texts
This tier is for works that may not agree 100% with tier 1 or 2, but still contain accurate history and prophecy. All disagreements can be overlooked and or ignored completely. Works here could show signs of manipulation. These are the "blank fillers".
————
Tier 4 - History
This tier is for documents that can be looked at through a purely historical view. All religious and spiritual doctrine found here should be ignored. Any inconsistencies with above tiers should be ignored.
————
Tier 5 - Folklore
This is for any story without proper background for validation and were created far after its happening, and thus should be labeled as folklore and stories. Works here should not be used for doctrine or history.
————
Tier 6 - Blaspheme
This is for works that claim to be Biblical but blatantly teach false doctrine, preach blasphemy or were written by groups who are not to be trusted for doctrine, history, or any sort of validity
————
Works within each tier, excluding Tier 1, are subject to change given evidence regarding its historic, spiritual validity, authorship, ect. Apocryphal books are never to exceed Tier 2.
Any recommendations for apocryphal books to be added to the list or moved up or down a tier should be backed up with explanation as to why they should be put there. Suggestions for addition or subtraction to the number of tiers or categories is also encouraged.
I will not add a book to the list without a proper investigation. This list is solely for books that claim to be Biblical or hold Biblical significance.

The list of books covered here will be posted in a tier format soon.

Apocryphal Books
Book of Jasher
Jasher is referenced by name in the Bible twice. What is this book and where is it?
————
The Book of Jasher is referenced by name in Joshua 10:13 and II Samuel 1:18. What is it? There are at least 5 completely different versions of this book and for the longest time, nobody knew which was the right one.

In 1947 the Book of Jasher was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, finally putting to shame the other versions. Because of it being found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, it can be assumed it was part of the library at Solomon's Temple. This version is what will be looked at today.

In II Timothy we read about Jannes and Jambres who opposed Moses. These names do not show up in the Old Testament. It is the Book of Jasher that names the two magicians who opposed Moses in the presence of Pharaoh.
Because of this mention, it can also be assumed it was known to the Apostles and possibly the early church.

The book itself covers many things in Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. It actually goes into great detail into the life of Joshua.

This is a great book and should be looked at as a Tier 2 book on the Spiritual Authority ranking; it is a secondary source with just as much importance as the Book of Enoch.

God Bless

The Book of Jasher

Translated in 2013 by Ken Johnson and the Biblefacts team of translators.
The Appendix and notes has hints of dispensationalism and Zionism, so be aware of this when reaching the Appendix.

e-Library
The Book of Jasher
————
Published in 1887 by J.H. Parry & Company. This book is supposedly a translation of a copy of the original Hebrew found in Spain, which came from Jerusalem around 70.AD.

Be warned, this has been translated by Mormons, but there is really no reason they would change anything.

Scientism is still a religion.

Apocryphal Books
Book of Lamech
Many people do not know there are actually two books of Lamech, one from the line of Seth and one form the line of Cain. Let's explore the one from the line of Seth.
————
The Book of Lamech was first found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The scroll is unfortunately not in good shape, as it was found in many fragments. Enough fragments were found to reconstruct roughly half of the text, but sadly the remaining half is impossible to reconstruct due to how fragmentary it is.
The scroll was found in a collection called "The Genesis Apocryphon" by archeologists or 1Q20 and 1QGenap. Within this collection there is also the Book of Noah and the Book of Abraham.

Lamech from the line of Seth was the father of Noah, the grandson of Enoch.
The material found in the book seems to mirror that found in I Enoch and The Book of Giants.
One strange thing is the names of characters are slightly different.
For example: Inoosh is Enoch, Mykel is Michael (the archangel), Qyn is Cain ect.
It is fairly easy to figure out who is who just by sounding it out.

One interesting thing found within the book is the story of Noah's birth.
Lamech chapter 4 states Lamech feared his wife cheated on him with an angel because the infant Noah was bright and his eyes were like the sun. Enoch reassures Lamech that Noah is indeed his son after praying to Alehim (Elohim).

A very interesting book of lost truth, it is a shame more of it did not survive.
More to come!
God Bless

This tier is definitely not complete, as some works have not yet been covered here as of yet and will be updated in the future.

... the Highest spake, saying, The first that thou hast written publish openly, that are worthy and unworthy may read it: But keep the seventy last, that thou mayest deliver them only to such as be wise among the people: For in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge.
- 4 Esdras 14:45-47

I might as well cover a book or two to add to the list now...

Apocryphal Books
The Book of Giants
This book may have been written by the giants...
————
There are two versions of the Book of Giants, one from the Dead Sea Scrolls and another Manichean, Middle Persia. Both of these texts are in fragments, so it may be difficult to truly compare the two. Some say they are two versions of the same book while others say they are two different books entirely.
————
The translators of the Manichean version had a habit of translating names into the Persian tongue, the Book of Giants is no exception. Names of giants, months, even angels were translated into Persian words instead of leaving the original. From the original Syriac the Greek and Middle Persian versions were made. A Coptic version could have existed.
Because of its fragmented state, it is almost impossible to determine the original order of the pages.
Sadly this book was adapted and changed to fit the Mani cosmology tradition and Manicheanism, which is a pagan religion and philosophy that teaches the duality of the cosmos and the idea that evil can not come from good. In the book the fallen angels are turned into demons who escaped a prison in the sky who were placed there when the world was created.
Because of these changes made to the book, Tier 3 seems fit.
————
The Dead Sea Scroll version is definitely a purer version, though it too is in fragments. With this book also, it is almost impossible to determine what fragment goes where, so different translations might mix and match.
The book includes a giant by the name of Gilgamesh who is also seen in the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh.
These fragments give a pretty clear story of what it was like for the giants and fallen angels before the flood. Something odd in the story, is that one of the giants flew somewhere... Ancient technology? Sorcery? Did the giant have wings? something that will be explored later on, wink wink.
Some archeologists believe the Book of Giants belongs with the book of Enoch, sort of like an appendix or a side story. Because of this, I believe this book belongs in Tier 2.

God Bless
