 it literally says as much in Enoch, search the text for "Head of Days" in reference to Noah, i'm not sure if the word was "regret" or "lament" but admission of error was very clear in my memory when reading it

and further, Jesus was not born at that point, and i'm not going to buy into this "the word was god" doctrine in this, not least of all being because the first part of Matthew is literally his list of ancestors and the subject of his conception is central to pretty much all forms of Christianity

the contradiction might have something to do with this trinity doctrine, which i think is also a mistake, and the other thing is that whatever traces there was of the event described in the first few books of the New Testament in history have been lost or obscured, it could well have happened earlier than 2000 years ago because probably not coincidentally there was a whole crop of this kind of religion springing up all across the world 2500 years ago, in china, in india, in the middle east (Zoroaster and others)

i'm just not going to "trust the word" of a book that has been collated and selected by an organisation that is publicly known to have a LOT of old books that it lets nobody know about, one that has a very bad reputation of being populated by pedophiles

what makes me sure this is the time coming is that the whole scheme is based on a natural phenomenon of catastrophic energy and magnetic field changes that we are starting to really see, this year more than the previous solar cycle, and the record of auroras and all this, pointing towards a model that suggests that we are on the precipice of a massive rearrangement of the land and water of this planet, or like it says in many apocalyptic texts - that no thing is left upon another" 
 hah, wow, i thought i'd lost that one but nostrudel has my back lol 
 Not a big fan of the mud flood theory. There was a shift of gears in the 15th century imo.

As for the Bible, it was heavily edited. Old languages are a lot more versatile than current ones. There is a zero chance of understanding its text without revelation because words had dozens of meanings which are now lost in translation. This goes for all sacred text that I know of regardless of religion.

However, I don't deny an inspiration from a higher being for such texts. I'm just making the claim it wasn't God who dictated any of them. There is an obvious distinction between the creator of all things and the administrator of our reality. Some call it the Demiurge. I prefer Mr. Administrator.

The same way many lunatics claim they're Satoshi Nakamoto. Similarly, the admin reached a high enough level to control stuff, yet no high enough to create life.

All in all, the worst mistake I see done over and over again is to overlap Lucifer with Mr Admin. If Jesus is the middle way, it's basic geometry that there are two kinds of extremes. On one end is materialism and at the other is the demented desire to escape matter without understanding its purpose.

My two sats.
