Now, now, it’s not THEIR fault the Bible was dumbed down and sanitized through translations.
Most Christians don’t realize the polytheistic undertones started from the very first line. It carried through into the Latin version but not much further than that:
“In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram.”
“In the beginning the GODS created heaven and earth.”
The only remnant, really, English speakers have left is the first commandment “^6 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
^7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.”
Which makes sense if you understand that the Old Testament is the history of the Jews, not the history of humanity. Of course there are other Gods, but I AM YOUR GOD.
That un-confuses a lot of the Old Testament, such as “where did the wives for Adam and Eves kids come from?” Well, easy, Adam and Eve weren’t the first people, they were the first Jews. The mysterious wives came from outside the faith.
