All that I was stating, was that old regional narratives would have been spoken or written in Hebrew or some other Semitic language and therefore not referred to as scripture.
The word scripture wouldn't have been devised until some time after 1066.

As we get older I'm not sure that we make friends.
Acquaintances perhaps, with more or less levels of trust.
Depends upon how one chooses to differentiate between the concepts of friendship and acquaintance I suppose.

So Jesus was a Roman Catholic then and not Hebrew.
Though the word scripture is actually a Middle English derivative, from the Latin.
So Jesus was Church of England then.

@CatholicApologetics
Well, what is a scripture?
Scripture essentially comes from the Latin, meaning written.
Though adopted to afford a written narrative a sort of gravitas.
In this context, the basis of scripture is probably derived of a spoken narrative.
Probably a spoken narrative of a spoken narrative, and so on.
Firstly spoken in some archaic Middle Eastern tongue.
Probably recounting hearsay myth and story.
It is what it is.
Neither reliability nor unreliability are pertinent considerations.

Well, I am of the opinion that everything we think we achieve, is the result of a subjective process.
We assume objectivity.
Is everything a simulation?
Yes and perhaps no.
A person does something, the right or wrong of it is an assumption based upon a set of collective criteria.
And if for you as an individual, murder is good. Then what am I to argue.
Though I would probably run with the collective ruling.

Thanks for that.
Though I would confidently state that there are no habitable stars in the Universe.
And just think, if the dinosaurs hadn't have been wiped out by an asteroid, then they would perhaps still be in control.
Giving some credence to the reptilian theory.

Let's just remember that you are quoting, or rather, paraphrasing human words.
Human words that have been transcribed, translated and paraphrased many times previously.
What does the Bible say about digital technology.
Well, I'm sure that we could make something up.
If GOD was truly a Universal agent, they would certainly have been conversant with such technology.
But I'm guessing that GODDO was also the creation of humans.

Peace and punish are made up human stuff.
The universe trundles on and stuff happens.
And the wild rabbit population over here is so afflicted by disease; making it an unattractive source of nutrition.

Yep.
Acting as a group.
Strength in numbers is a survival strategy
Though acting as a group is certainly no guarantee of total agreement or cooperation.
Such is the fickle nature of the species.
We must always look out for number one.
And to a degree, but with no guarantee, we may also regard close family as number one.

Everything that occurs within a universe is naturally occurring.
Whether that be a nuclear bomb, or someone scratching an itch.
And Goodness is an indefinite principle.
Behaviour relative to one collective, but not necessarily to another.
Thank goodness for our nuclear stockpile, said the American
Nuclear weapons are the epitome of badness, said the American.
Collectives vary within collectives.
Or do you just simply mean, being nice.

There are thousands of UFO photos out there, some better than others.
And if he knows where to see lights in the night sky...Then they obviously occur for a reason.
And Journalists will either be sceptical or predisposed.
And interested people will always be interested, one way or the other.
Nope Sixto.
Show us an unequivocally provable close up of an actual extra-terrestrial craft and actual aliens.
None of this I'm a spiritual and telepathic contactee, in touch with something somewhere.

The ancestors of all US citizens came from somewhere else.
Indigenous is a myth.
And for sure, if you were born there you are native.
Same applies to recent immigrants and their offspring.

Sixto Pas Wells. A brief summary.
He promotes an insubstantial hypothesis, based upon extensive incredibility.
Clever enough guy, fixated on UFO's and aliens from an early age.
Makes a decent living from it.
Typically, no concrete evidence to back up his ideological claims.
Simply having a willingness to believe, never stands up to wider scrutiny.

I expect that it was a subliminal reaction relative to a quantum signal from JADES-GS-z14-0.
