Unhinged tlt theories until I get Alecto news: day 3
Somewhere in the deep archives of the Sixth is a copy of the King James Bible. Specifically that one — no one’s quite sure who King James is, but the Bible is one of the greatest novels ever written, depicting metaphors. Every child studies it to learn metaphor — they’re pretty sure that Jesus is a metaphor for the Resurrection, and the apostles are the cavaliers. Maybe Jesus is a necromancer, they aren’t sure.
Of course, when Kiriona showed up, it turned into an academic disaster, every theory they ever had about Jesus is thrown into to flux, a generation of scholars are pissed to have to redo all of their projects, and suddenly maybe Jesus is a metaphor for the intense power held by the Tower Prince. But then what does that make the apostles? The houses? The cohort? They aren’t really sure.
John finds this entire situation hilarious and sends them a file box of Jesus Rock, pamphlets from other sects, and a different Bible. This is the greatest mystery of the millennia

When a book was obsolete or had unsold copies remaining, it was common to find reuses for the paper, such as lining the covers of another book. Our first edition of the King James Bible has a small fragment of waste paper visible inside its front cover. (Photo flipped so the text is right-side-up.)

King James VI and I speaking to the Privy Council in 1617: “You may be sure that I love the Earl of Buckingham (George) more than anyone else, and more than you who are here assembled. I wish to speak in my own behalf and not to have it thought to be a defect, for Jesus Christ did the same, and therefore I cannot be blamed. Christ had John, and I have George.”

What does the Bible say about “spiritual warfare”?
Ephesians 6:11 KJV
"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
Spiritual warfare requires preparation—through prayer, unwavering faith, and knowledge of biblical truth—to defeat your spiritual enemy.
1 Peter 5:8 KJV
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil.
You must be alert at all times for the sneak attacks of the devil.
James 4:7 KJV
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
When you resist the devil in the name and power of Jesus, he will flee from you. At the name of Jesus, Satan has no power.
Matthew 4:4 KJV
"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
But Jesus said, “No! The Scriptures say . . .”
When under attack by the tempter, Jesus relied on the Word of God to resist the lies of his adversary.

THE KING JAMES BIBLE. Mid-17th century pocket edition. Metal clasps, embroidered.
Four hundred years ago, King James I of England commissioned a new translation of the Bible, hoping to create a single, authoritative text that would mediate between the divergent religious views of Puritans and Anglicans. Editions published since its first printing in 1611 reflects something about the lives of the individuals who produced and used it. This copy was embroidered with portraits of the owner and her husband.

A Father's Wise Instruction
1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil. — Proverbs 4 | King James Version (KJV) The King James Version Bible is in the public domain Cross References: Deuteronomy 5:32; Deuteronomy 11:21; Deuteronomy 32:2; 1 Samuel 2:30; 1 Samuel 12:23; 2 Samuel 22;37; 1 Chronicles 22:5; Psalm 1:1; Psalm 34:11; Psalm 36:4; Proverbs 1:2; Proverbs 1:9; Proverbs 2:2; Proverbs 2:11; Proverbs 3:1; Proverbs 3:8; Proverbs 3:21; Proverbs 8:23; Proverbs 13:2; Proverbs 19:1; Matthew 5:14; Luke 6:45; John 6:63; John 11:10; Ephesians 6:4; Hebrews 12:13

“The oldest known surviving Bible, the Codex Sinaiticus, was written over 300 years after the death of Jesus and contains both the Old and New Testaments. There are nearly 15,000 differences between it and today's King James version. With Emperor Constantine's adding chunks and yanking chunks and King James' changing large chunks here and there, this is the Xtian version of God's unquestionable Truth.”
