Scriptures: Textual Variants Supporting Ritual Sacrifice

Some time ago, I received some ancient Takmahl religious texts from the Church of the Crimson Savior. I have studied and translated these texts with the help of Revelation from God and found passages of Scriptures that contain textual variants as compared with the canonical Scriptures:

Saint Junip 15:11 wrote:

Rejoice, o chosen of God
For their blood fills this Valley of Death,
Proclaiming our sacrifice to God,
And he shall raise it up for all time


In place of the bolded word “their” above, the canonical Scriptures read “our”. As we can see, the liberals have altered a text about sacrificing other people to God and make it about self-sacrifice instead.

Saint Junip 10:25 wrote:

Zakara saw the danger to his brother, and did not hesitate; without weapon or armor, he hurled himself at the beast, attacking with his bare hands. Enraged, the beast turned and struck Zakara, opening a terrible wound in his side. Seizing the moment, Garum ran his sword through the beast's heart, thus ending the battle victorious. But Zakara, mortally wounded, cried out in pain. You sacrificed him for me,' Garum said, taking his hand.

"We are brothers,' Zakara answered, just before breathing his last. 'And in God we shall remain brothers for all of time.


Instead of the bolded “him”, the canonical Scriptures have “yourself”. I believe that the text originally described the ritual sacrifice of a particularly large and bestial Brutor, one who escaped his restraints and had to be put down by Zakara and Garum, the latter using his sacrificial sword. Editing by the liberals has again changed this story to one of self-sacrifice.

Book of Missions 42:5 wrote:

Only through many hardships
Is a man stripped to his very foundations
And in such a state
Devoid of distractions
Is the sacrificer's soul free to soar
And in this
He is closest to God


The canonical Scriptures have “his” instead of the bold “the sacrificer's”, thus changing a story about a ritualist inflicting hardships on a sacrificial victim and so becoming closer to God into a story about someone experiencing hardships himself and so becoming closer to God. Again, the liberals have changed a story about ritual sacrifice into a story of self-sacrifice.

In conclusion, these textual variants have demonstrated that the liberals have been editing the Scriptures with the aim of replacing instances of ritual sacrifice with self-sacrifice. Amen. Amarr Victor.

Most Amarr scripture is pure misinformation generated by self professors delivering terraform-generators. Sacrifice in the pursuit of wisdom is counter productive time expenditure. Thus the representation of a sacrifice.

In ancient times Amarr blood lines retained familial ties to Church spirituality. Every family having something to add to the congressional progress. It was realized long ago a witch hunt must be seeded into the wealth of every planet's evolving culture to avoid incest in remote areas. This leads to god-like characters of which are impossible to comprehend or fathom but leads away from cannibalism and incest during chaotic evolutionary cycles.

Please remember that while terraforming which takes decades the surface is constantly under True Sunlight. A revealing property still under observation. This property removes the skin from cells. Atmosphere plays a heavy roll in dampening the electromagnetics.

Well, looks like mean Mister Nauplius is at it again!

Sacrificing people is not okay! Much less eating them, drinking them, chewing them, poking them. grilling them, stabbing them, drugging them or being mean to them! Specially if a book suggests doing all that is okay!

I wouldn't have thought that passage would have related to any Brutor, given the age of the Takmahl empire, some 1500 to 2000 years before present, and that the Imperial fleet only encountered the Minmatar some 1000 years before present.

So, it probably relates to something else. In my opinion.

What Ms Valate is politely calling an opinion is in fact evidence of Nauplius’ dilettantish forgery—not to speak of his simplemindedness and inanity. I will not take the time to write a theological reply, for this is not a case of theology. It falls into the realm of psychology and criminology. Shall the behavioural psychologists deal with it!

Before now everyone, again, finds prove that the Amarr faith is nothing but a tool to provide the strong with the means to oppress the weak, keep in mind: Nauplius is not Amarr. Where once stood his small entry, consisting of nothing but his name and birth date, in the Book of Records, void fills the line.

With my full clerical authority as Begum of Palas and Lustrevik etc. pp., Episcopa of the Great City of Armaniyye and of all Palas etc. pp., in accordance with the scriptures, the laws and common practice etc. etc. etc., I hereby authoritatively clarify: Human sacrifice is forbidden and un-Amarrian. Whoever sacrifices a human being shall not be considered Amarr.

And God knows best.

Aboard a ship during extrasolar travel light radio frequencies are less familiar than native frequencies. Dreams, emotions, and thought patterns change. Devout faith or instinctual spirituality support established objectives after disembarking.

Do you actually understand what you are writing? It seemed like you have skill level V in 'Word Salad'.

Anyway.

It should be fairly clear, from other parts of the Scriptures, that ritual sacrifice of the unworthy is commonplace, and indeed approved of. Why, look what happened to poor old Molok the Deceiver. Sacrificed upon the altar of God. By the Emperor, no less.

Also, from a certain point of view, then the treatment of say, the Ealurians, might be considered a form of sacrifice. The unfortunate did not survive, while the fortunate who were righteous enough, survived and multiplied.

Remember of course, what the Scripture says:
"The great Amarr Empire was founded to cultivate the spirit of Man"

Cultivate, well, that's the verb. See, to cultivate things, you pick the ones you want, and the rest, you sacrifice.

Quite.

Human sacrifice is not un-Amarrian. Molok the Deceiver was sacrificed upon the altar of God.

Are you advocating the actions of the Blood Raiders should be sanctioned by Amarr religions doctrine?! While not an Amarrian citizen this is one issue I cannot stand idly by on! I've dedicated most of my life to the distruction of the pirate factions that plegue New Eden and should not have to remind the Amarrian people of the terrors forced on them by the psychotic practices of these mad men!

You don't have to remind us. We've been united in opposition to him since he fell to his homicidal heresies. The Slave Butcher is beyond redemption and will be struck down by God's Divine wrath at his final judgment.
