GJ – Tischendorf baptized the fake Sinaiticus as the World’s Oldest Bible and promoted Vaticanus as being just as old. Neither Bible has a genuine history or children.

Trinitarian Bible Society booklets are very well written, precise, and reliable in defending the value, fidelity, and authority of the King James Version. The author is a member of this group. See a list of some of the titles at the end of the sources.

GJ - Note how the Beck Bible footnote error on the ending of Mark 16 is now trumpeted by a “conservative” seminary professor and CPH. This gigantic collection of errors is based upon the Church of Rome’s dubious Codex Vaticanus, mysteriously promoted with Sinaiticus as the world’s oldest, but in reality falsification’s boldest. Christian News laid the foundation for Voelz by promoting and selling the Beck Bible.

Vance, Laurence M. (1993). A Brief History of English Bible Translations. 1993. GJ – Far more English translations have been published than most could imagine. The KJV remains dominant among those who read the Bible.

Greek New Testaments

H KAINH DIATHHKH – The New Testament, Textus Receptus, Trinitarian Bible Society. 1976.

The Greek New Testament. Fifth Revised Edition. (2020). Barbara Aland, Kurt Aland, Bruce Metzger, et al. 2020. GJ - This features the minority texts of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, its fantasies almost the same as the Westcott-Hort, which was kept hidden in the 19th century KJV revision. The Revision of was a disaster as an improved KJV, but the Westcott-Hort Greek text, which they conjured up from their theories, is now the Nestle-Aland, with few exceptions.

Stephanus edition, Majority Text. Greek New Testament. GJ – This is the text preserved in 5,000 or more examples from the Byzantine, Greek Christian Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, which continued after the Fall of Rome in 400 AD and continued until its doom in 1453, when the Ottoman Turks captured Constantinople. The overwhelming majority of all Greek New Testament texts is from the Apostolic Age, quite different from the handful of “oldest” examples from the self-promoting careers of Tischendorf, Westcott, and Hort.

Westcott Brook Foss, and Fenton John Anthony Hort. (1953). The New Testament in the Original Greek. Macmillan. GJ - These two frauds secretly printed a thousand Greek copies early for the KJV revisers, using their status to get the vast changes made based on Vaticanus, Sinaiticus, and their now-debunked text theories. Today’s Nestle-Aland is very much the Westcott-Hort but with a critical apparatus attached. The Westcott-Hort, which I own, has no justification below for their falsehoods, such as omitting “the Son of God” from Mark 1:1.

More on Nutrition - The Panoply of Beans and Greens

 



I do not miss the old pattern of 10 pounds down, 15 pounds up. I can recall various comments from doctors over the years, but they did not move me in the right direction. Blood sugar and blood pressure encouraged me to change immediately, and we had a pristine copy of Fuhrman in our home library. 

I also owned a book from one of my MA students in education - on diabetes, plus additional diabetes books. The student's son almost died of type 1 diabetes and is now a healthy strong young man. Diabetes is more than a disorder - it is a constellation of many bad outcomes from high blood sugar. 

Fuhrman staggered me with the facts of greens and vegetables being so much better than sugar, white flour, high fat foods, and high salt snacks. In addition, nuts and fruits are a return to Eden. Instead of apple pie from Schwan, I have fresh crunchy apples from the store. I still eat some meat, but far less than before.

I like the Fuhrman emphasis on rare eating:

Fish - I already noped that.

Cheese - maybe once a week, too much salt. It is basically a fat product, but can be enjoyed in small amounts.

Milk products are fat products I never liked, except for ice and whipped cream, which are fatal temptations. 

I like the joke that tomatoes are the fourth stage of water, because I used to raise delicious tomatoes and eat them warm from the sun. Store tomatoes are little more than water, but tomato paste delivers flavor and super-nutrition at the same time but with a low cost.

Beans are satisfying but I do not like them alone. However, many canned varieties are tasty with a lot of vegetables. I often open a can of vegetable soup, add favorite vegetables (mushrooms, peas, mixed vegetables) plus nuts and flaxseed. 

A fellow bean convert suggested lima beans, which I have always loved. They also have to have super nutrition benefits. I will list them.

"One cup (170 grams) of cooked lima beans contains (1Trusted Source):

  • Calories: 209
  • Protein: 12 grams
  • Fat: 0.5 grams
  • Carbs: 40 grams
  • Fiber: 9 grams
  • Manganese: 92% of the daily value (DV)
  • Copper: 58% of the DV
  • Magnesium: 30% of the DV
  • Iron: 23% of the DV
  • Potassium: 21% of the DV
  • Thiamin: 20% of the DV
  • Vitamin C: 19% of the DV
  • Vitamin B6: 19% of the DV
  • Phosphorus: 18% of the DV

Lima beans are especially high in manganese, which acts as an antioxidant and plays a key role in metabolism (2Trusted Source).

They also provide a good amount of copper in each serving, which supports immune health and promotes brain function (3Trusted Source).

Plus, lima beans are rich in magnesium, a mineral your body needs for energy production and DNA synthesis (4Trusted Source)."

As others have said, multi-vitamins are good for supplementing food, but these simple, inexpensive foods are loaded with nutrition that lowers blood pressure, blood sugar, and increases the body's fight against various disorders - like cancer.

Someone can get a shopping basket worth of nutritional medicine simply from 

  1. mounds of greens (like spinach), 
  2. a variety of beans, 
  3. walnuts and almonds, and
  4. a number of fruits.

The miracle compounds sold at a high price and promising everything - they are derived rather selectively from vegetation. Instead, the beans and greens, nuts and fruits fill in more of our needs than we can get from fast food, snack food, and donuts.
