fun fact, the Torah is the least modified first five books of the bible.
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy
It's far less altered than say the king james edition, ya know because king james picked the things he liked and didn't.
TLDR Can you elaborate on some differences between hebrew and kjv? Obviously the bible was also made to justify a suave editing of scripture but those scriptures are still a collection whether in the bible or not.
The premise according to the scripture/bible was seemingly about the spirit of good working through people aka not the book itself it yet the whole world failed that litmus test when they go around only bible thumping a one perspective new testament(justifying the wold) which jesus literally didn't do.
However, w/ a shrewd eye of discernment it can definitely lead to some challenging or brushing up of moral concepting which is why I read kjv through fully once taking special regard to answering jesus' parables as though they were a "test", as well as the methodology and symbolism that was allegedly being used back then. (smoke and salt based remedies).
I also skimmed through it another time. Overall some issues i saw were the failure to mention "cold", everything seems fiery oddly and contradictions that those who never read or don't practice can't discern which is the lack of explanation or addressing philosophical conundrums. EX- torture vs non existance and actual hard to rationalize objective moral values as well as like sexuality. Seems to me rather disenguine to say the sins of the body are the worse than reduce everything to spiritual circumcision while most still circumcise. Horrendous and should be a crime against humanity.
Obviously there's issues but it still seems to have more "meat" to it than anything else that's out there you just have to intellectually sift.
