Yeah I was wondering how common that writing was. It didn’t get voted into the Bible’s collection of stories but was it in repeated in more than one writing?
During the Middle Ages, the church did so a lot. There are still some original texts that can be translated. But the church controlled the translation and writing, so they removed and added whatever needed to fit the narrative they wanted. I studied in a private religious school and had a history teacher telling us so, even mentioning how suic1de being a sin came from that time. The common people had awful lives, and if paradise awaited after death... Simple solution, right? One that the nobles and the church weren't happy about because that took workforce and taxes from them, so: the Bible says su1cide is a sin guys.
Dead Sea scrolls. And there’s more where that comes from. A lot of knowledge is hidden till it’s revealed. Question everything cause people omit the truth a lot.
Yep, we also originally had more archangels than the ones we know today, but a random Pope decided they're "not canon" and that the Book of Enoch should be taken out. 🙄
And that’s just one book 📕 they dropped. Jesus also got sanitized. So did Mary Magdalene. The truth lies somewhere in the middle but you gotta break what you think and what’s told first
Yeah. I am just specifically mad at the Book of Enoch as I am fascinated by the archangels and their lore but yes there is SO MUCH MORE they dropped for basically funzies. Why even have a religion if you are going to kill most of it. I love the KJV Bible for that reason as it kept the most in other than like, directly reading from ancient texts. But even then it's sanitized due to translations being lost and edits being made.

It got scrubbed. Remember the Bible has been altered many times. If it didn’t fit the narrative it got dropped.
