   You have to climb the tallest mountain and then sit on the very tip with your legs crossed and close eyes and tilt your chin up and hum while you meditate. Before long, you will be a genuine theologian.

   This is just all the concepts, books and principles that a catholic priest would learn in seminary, several years of book study. All of them learn Latin but Greek and Hebrew not so much.
   
   But a Rabbi learns the Torah entirely in Hebrew so it's similar in that they study the same material but use languages differently. I think Greek is probably the superior language in this case (don't even get me started on Arabic or Chinese)
   
   I can see some benefits to learning Latin if you intend to become a priest but I think you could reach the same level of knowledge without learning Latin. The idea that you NEED to know a certain language to acquire certain information because the church only publishes it in Latin is insane. People don't bother translating these, they just learn Latin. Very strange.
   
   The next step is to acquire all these books and then illegally scan them into one Tome and create a textbook called "How to become a priest" and sell it on da darknet for $50
   I would also like to compile a similar list for Islam, jedis, Hindu, Mormons, etc + The TOTSE commentaries on the gospels

    It's a super easy, super worthless degree they offer at some universities (not all because some recognize the retardation of)
    
    but it's basically 10 basic core cores, 10 cultural courses then 20 comparative religion, religious culture, and religious books classes
    
    then you can go talk to people who don't wanna hear your opinion for the rest of your life
    
    can get a good job teaching theology if you're one of the 200 people in the U.S. who needs a theology teacher

    If you take an AI pdf reader and load it up with every religious holy book and tell it to summarize it all and come up with an answer to life it will tell you God is definitely Chinese

    Within the NIV, you will discover there are at least 16 “missing” verses when you compare the NIV to the KJV. If you want to look for yourself, here are those 16 “missing” verses.
    
    Mathew 23:14, Matthew 17:21, Matthew 18:11
    Mark 7:16, Mark 9:44, Mark 9:46, Mark 11:26, Mark 15:28, Luke 17:36, John 5:4
    Acts 8:37, Acts 15:34, Acts 24:7, Acts 28:29, Romans 16:24. There is more to research so go look up the facts and don’t be wilfully ignorant of the devils devices.
    
    These “translations” are heresy and should not be bought, condoned, promoted or read, they should be burned!
    
    Some translatons like KJV also have some indifferences from the original but does not take out multiple verses and therefore is highly recomended by biblical scholars.
    
    Rev 22:18: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
    
    Deuteronomy 4:1: Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
    
    Deuteronomy 12:32: What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
    
    When you understand how Satan works is he adds or takes away from the word….
    
    Just because it looks like a bible doesn’t mean it is, for example…
    
    “The queen james bible”
    
    “The gen-z bible”
    
    “The Yeezy Bible”
    
    “The Mormon Bible”
    
    “The jehovah witness Bible”
    
    “The passion translation”
    Etc…
    
    Choose your pick…
    
    Personally, I will not promote or condone deviations or “forms of the truth” the scripture says to test all things…
    
    The devil is in the details, he always comes looking good and having “some
    Of the truth”, in the garden to revelation satan does this and there are so many warnings about it…
    
    Be cautious and don’t be ignorant of satans devices.
    Do not be deceived.

    who needs the bible when you have 70 books of commentaries about the bible and a bunch of books in latin?
    
    If you ctrl+f "solo scriptura" or "Catholic" into the Bible, nothing comes up. How interesting.

    It's easier to quote/cite the Bible.
