hey hidden in plain sight buried deep in history lies a version of the Bible you've likely never seen before the 1775 Bible a text that for centuries held within its Pages verses ideas and Revelations that could reshape everything we think we know about Christianity but today those words have been lost to time changed censored why what truths were so dangerous ous so disruptive that they had to be erased from the Bible itself the Bible we read today the one sitting in churches and homes across the world is not the same as it was in 1775
and it's not because of printing errors or innocent translation differences the changes are far more deliberate the 1775 Bible and many others like it contained verses that directly challenged the established church narrative these were verses that would have made you question everything the church your relationship with God and maybe even the nature of divinity itself who gets to decide what goes into your Bible it's not some Divine handwriting on the clouds it's men powerful men with agendas they've shaped the Bible over centuries deciding which parts you're allowed to see and which parts are conveniently left
out one key passage found in the 1775 Bible speaks to a very different relationship between Humanity and God this wasn't the distant hierarchical God most of us are taught to worship the 1775 Bible suggested that the Divine is not above or Beyond you it's within you a radical idea right if the Divine is within you that changes everything it gives you power it makes the institutional Church unnecessary and that's exactly why these verses were removed it's the late 18th century and religious leaders political figures and Scholars are quietly debating what's too dangerous to be included
in the Bible they are not arguing over small grammatical details no they're deciding whether or not people should have access to verses that Empower them that make them realize their own spiritual potential verses that suggest the church might not be the necessary middleman between humanity and God this was the hidden battle over the Bible a struggle for control the church needed you to be dependent on them on their teachings on their Authority they couldn't risk letting you believe that you had a direct connection to God and so the 1775 Bible was altered changed in ways
that most people don't even realize today words were erased passages omitted and in their place a version of scripture that reinforced obedience hierarchy and control take this to Heart the Bible was never just a religious text it was also a tool a tool for control if you control the narrative you control the people in the 1775 Bible you'll find hint of a more personal faith passages that spoke of an intimate connection between the Divine and Humanity without the need for a mediator without the need for someone to interpret God's will on your behalf and that's
exactly what made it so dangerous if you don't need the church the whole structure starts to crumble the powerful lose their grip throughout history councils of church officials translators and political figures made crucial decisions about what stayed in the Bible and what didn't these weren't just theological debates they were decisions that had enormous social and political consequences the removal of key verses wasn't just about spiritual guidance it was about keeping control over the masses when you take away a person's ability to question you keep them in line so what exactly was removed one glaring example
is the manipulation of the original name of God in the 1775 Bible the name used for God was far more complex and personal than the one we're familiar with today the shift in Translation wasn't just a linguistic Choice it changed the entire understanding of who God is instead of a deeply personal approachable deity we ended up with a God that was distant unapproachable and all too often angry that's not a coincidence it's a sh gift that makes people more obedient more dependent on religious leaders to interpret the Divine for them and it didn't stop there
the 1775 Bible contained references to texts and books that have since been erased from history lost books that would offer radically different perspectives on Christianity books like the Gospel of Thomas The Book of Enoch these were once part of the broader biblical tradition but they didn't make the final cut why because they offered a view of spirituality that was more about personal Enlightenment and less about following strict religious rules these missing books and verses weren't removed because they were false they were removed because they were inconvenient they gave you too much power too much Independence
they made you ask questions the church didn't want you to ask why did they suppress these texts because if you believe that the Divine is already within you that you don't need an institution to dictate your spiritual path then the church's influence starts to fade the name of God it's one of the most Central and defining aspects of any religious text especially the Bible but what if I told you that the name of God we use today isn't even close to what's written in some of the earliest biblical manuscripts that's right the name of God
has been altered mistranslated and in some cases outright removed and nowhere is this more apparent than in the Bible from 1775 this isn't just a minor detail it's a change that redefines everything you think you know about Divinity in the 1775 Bible there were references to God that use names and titles that don't even appear in most modern translations we're talking about names that connect to ancient Hebrew Roots names that carry completely different meanings and implications names that paint a different picture of who or what God really is now most of us are familiar with
God lord or Jehovah right but did you know that in earlier versions the term used for God was of Elohim and here's where it gets interesting Elohim isn't singular it's plural now stop for a second a plural name for God if you grew up hearing about one all powerful singular deity this should raise some serious questions Elohim suggests something far more complex a multifaceted maybe even multi- beinging Pres it opens the door to interpretations that the Divine wasn't just one entity but a collection or even a council of divine beings so why change it why
alter the name from Elohim to God or Lord stripping away the complexity and depth the answer lies in control by simplifying the name reducing God to a singular authoritarian figure it reinforces a system where a singular church or authority can claim to speak directly for this singular deity if the name remained Elohim it would be much harder to centralize power to claim absolute authority over interpretation imagine trying to claim Divine mandate when the Divine is plural diverse and multifaceted the change to God or Lord conveniently makes things simple there's one God one Authority and you
have to follow what you're told but here's the thing it wasn't just about the translation it was about a shift in theology a deliberate narrowing of what people are allowed to believe Elohim is a name that's tied to ancient Traditions to stories that go beyond just the Jewish and Christian religions it appears in Sumerian Acadian and Canaanite mythologies where gods and divine beings were complex and interacted with Humanity in ways that we would consider far more personal the 1775 Bible with its references to Elohim holds a connection to these older stories stories where humans weren't
just subjects of a far-off God but participants in a larger Divine drama and the changes didn't stop there in some places the 1775 Bible also used the name yhwh or the Yahweh you might think well isn't that still used today yes but not in the way it was originally intended Yahweh wasn't just a name for God it was an intimate personal identifier it was meant to signify a close covenantal relationship between God and human Humanity but today in most Bibles it's been replaced with Lord a title a position of power something distant something far above
you that shift from Yahweh to Lord represents more than just a change in language it represents a change in how you're supposed to relate to God it moves you from being in a close personal relationship with the Divine to being just another subject in a kingdom the 1775 Bible preserved these older more intimate names of God it gave people a window into a version of divinity that was more approachable more human and less authoritarian but that was a problem for the institutions of the time you see if people felt they could connect with Yahweh on
their own or understand the depth of belim then they wouldn't need priests they wouldn't need intermediaries they could seek out the relationship on their own and so just like other controversial passages these names were changed sanitized and erased in later versions think about what that does to the entire message of the Bible if the very name of God is altered how much of the rest of the message has been reshaped to fit the needs of those in power we are not talking about minor tweaks this is a fundamental shift in how you're supposed to understand
the Divine there's a reason why this wasn't left in the open the truth behind these ancient names challenges the entire structure of modern Christianity if toim he means multiple Divine beings if a Yahweh represents a personal approachable relationship with the Divine then the entire hierarchy that's been built up over centuries crumbles suddenly you don't need a church to mediate your relationship with God you don't need religious leaders to interpret Divine will on your behalf the connection is already there waiting for you to ReDiscover it and maybe that's the point maybe the reason these names were
altered erased and forgotten is because the powers that be didn't want you to know just how close you really are to the Divine they didn't want you to realize that your understanding of God could be broader deeper and more personal than the carefully constructed image they've been feeding you one of the most shocking discoveries about the 1775 Bible isn't just what's in it it's what used to be in it and what's missing now I'm talking about entire books of the Bible whole chapters entire stories simply erased from the modern version you know today these are
the so-called lost books of the Bible and they change everything now you might be asking how do you lose parts of the Bible that seems like a pretty big thing to misplace doesn't it well it didn't happen by accident it was intentional and it started with church leaders councils and political rulers who decided for whatever reason that certain texts were too controversial too dangerous or simp simply didn't fit the narrative they wanted to push but these Lost Books the ones that were either removed from the Bible entirely or labeled as apocryphal and push to the
margins offer a completely different perspective on spirituality they were texts that included visions prophesies and teachings that would have radically altered the way we understand Christianity Today books like the Gospel of Thomas The Book of Enoch and the wisdom of Solomon these aren't some Fringe writings they were once considered part of the Sacred Scriptures read and respected by early Christian communities take the Book of Enoch for example this ancient text goes deep into the story of Fallen Angels the origins of evil and a cosmic battle between good and evil that goes far beyond the usual
Sunday school narrative Enoch was said to have been taken up to heaven and given secrets that were too powerful for ordinary humans that alone raises eyebrows why would a book like that be removed could it be because it exposes things that challenge the traditional narrative maybe the Book of Enoch gives us a glimpse into a more complex multi- spiritual world one where Humanity isn't just a passive player but a part of a much larger Cosmic drama and then there's the Gospel of Thomas now this one is truly mind-blowing unlike the for canonical gospels the Gospel
of Thomas isn't about miracles or Parables it's a collection of sayings attributed directly to Jesus and these sayings they paint a picture of Jesus that's very different from the one most Christians know in the Gospel of Thomas Jesus isn't teaching about Sin repentance or judgment instead he talks about self- knowledge personal Enlightenment and the idea that the kingdom of God is already within you not in some distant heaven but here now inside each and every person that kind of message one that put Spiritual Authority back in your own hands was dangerous it threatened the very
foundations of the institutional church so what did they do they removed it buried it called it heretical anything to make sure that you don't find it because if you did you might start questioning why this message didn't make it into the official Bible why don't we hear more about these lost gospels the reason is simple it gives you too much Freedom if you start believing that the Divine is inside you and not locked away in a church the whole power structure falls apart the wisdom of Solomon is another text that has a complicated history this
book was known for its deep philosophical Reflections on wisdom Justice and the nature of God it talks about the immortal Soul the struggle of humanity to find Divine wisdom and it even touches on the afterlife in ways that are more mystical than traditional but but like the others it was either excluded or downplayed over the centuries why because it suggests that Divine knowledge isn't just given to religious authorities it's something that can be pursued by anyone by you if you're willing to seek it what we're left with today is a heavily edited version of the
Bible the Lost Books show us that there were early Christian Traditions that embraced self-discovery personal Enlightenment and the idea that Divinity wasn't locked away in a temple or church it was something you could access directly and that is a dangerous message for any institution that wants to control the narrative these books weren't just cut because they were long or unnecessary they were intentionally buried because they raised questions big questions questions about Authority about what it means to have a relationship with the Divine and about whether we've been solder version of Christianity that's more about obedience
than Enlightenment when people think of the Bible one of the first things that comes to mind is the idea of Hell a place of Eternal punishment fire and brimstone it's a concept that has shaped much of Christian theology for centuries used in sermons to strike fear to keep people in line and to define the stakes of Salvation the 1775 Bible and other earlier versions reveal something very different the hell that you've been taught to fear might not have even existed in the way you think the word hell as We Know know it today it's barely
there in the original texts in fact the words that were used in the Bible before it was translated into English were much more complex words like shol in Hebrew haes in Greek and gehenna but here's the catch none of these words meant Eternal fiery damnation in the way we've come to understand it so how did we get from these ancient terms to the terrifying concept of hell that dominates today's Christian narrative the answer as with many things comes down to translation deliberate choices made by translators and church leaders to shift the narrative in earlier versions
of the Bible like the 1775 Edition these terms were translated differently with more nuanced meanings Shel refer to a place of the Dead a shadowy existence not Eternal torture hates was simply the Greek underworld a place for All Souls not just the wicked and gehenna that was a actual physical location a valley outside Jerusalem where trash and even dead bodies were burned over time this Valley became a metaphor for Destruction not eternal torment the modern image of hell is a fiery pit where Souls burned forever didn't come directly from the Bible it was influenced by
external sources including Pagan mythology and later Christian writers by the time we get to Medieval Europe artists and theologians like Dante and Milton had cemented this horrific image in the public Consciousness but if you look back at the 1775 Bible you won't find anything nearly as definitive about hell as what you've been taught the question we have to ask is why would this shift happen why take words that described something more ambiguous like shol or gehenna and turn them into an eternal torture chamber the answer lies in fear and control the concept of hell as
we know it today became a powerful tool it's much easier to control population when you convince them that there's something worse than death caiting them if they don't fall in line it wasn't just about spiritual guidance it was about maintaining Authority fear is a powerful motivator and Hell became the ultimate fear and the consequences for centuries people have lived under the shadow of this idea believing that every action every sin could condemn them to a place of unimaginable suffering but what if that was never part of the original plan what if the 1775 Bible's portrayal
of the afterlife was far more about the natural end of life about rest or judgment rather than Eternal fire and Damnation look at the evidence Scholars have pointed out for years that the shift in language from sh to Hell from gehenna to the Lake of Fire was a gradual process influenced by theological and political agendas the fear of Hell kept people obedient kept them loyal to the church and let's not forget throughout history history religious authorities had a vested interest in making sure people didn't stray from the faith what better way to keep them in
line than with a constant threat of hell but that's not what the earliest scriptures talked about the 1775 Bible gives us a glimpse into a time before hell became the terrifying weapon it is today it shows us a different understanding of Life Death and the afterlife and it begs the question why do we continue to hold on to this fear-driven narrative when it's clear that hell as we know it wasn't always part of the story one of the cornerstones of traditional Christian doctrine is the idea of original sin you've heard it before Humanities Fall From
Grace the corruption of human nature passed down from Adam and Eve because they ate from the Tree of knowledge it's the reason we're supposedly born broken in need of salvation but what if I told you that the concept of original sin isn't as rocksolid as you've been led to believe the story of Adam and Eve in the 1775 Bible as in earlier texts is quite different from the later interpretations that gave rise to the idea of original sin the core of this doctrine that all humans inherit guilt from the actions of Adam and Eve wasn't
even part of early Christian theology in fact it didn't become mainstream until theologians like Augustine in the 4th Century began pushing it and why because the concept of original sin solved a very particular problem it gave the church control over salvation if everyone is Born Into sin then everyone needs the church to get out of it but if you go back to the 1775 Bible or earlier versions of the story what you'll find is something much more profound and much less damning the text doesn't describe Adam and Eve's actions as some catastrophic event that broke
Humanity forever instead it frames it as an act of Disobedience yes but also an act of Awakening Adam Eve didn't fall so much as they gained knowledge the very thing that allowed them to understand good and evil the thing that makes us human now think about that for a second gaining knowledge is a sin that's a pretty Twisted message especially for a religion that values truth wisdom and understanding but in the later interpretations that pushed original sin this act of gaining knowledge was transformed into Humanity's fatal flaw the church needed a way to explain why
humans were flawed why we needed saving and most importantly why they held the key to that salvation original sin was the perfect answer in earlier versions of the Bible including the 1775 Edition this wasn't the case Adam and Eve's decision was more about choice about the human capacity for growth and learning yes they disobeyed but their Disobedience wasn't about moral corruption it was about stepping into awareness they moved from ignorance to understand understanding it's the beginning of Humanity's journey toward wisdom not a curse that Dooms us all from birth the concept of original sin also
doesn't hold up when you look at how other cultures viewed the same event in Jewish tradition for example the story of Adam and Eve is about the beginning of human responsibility they're not seen as cursed beings whose actions taint all of humanity but as the first humans to experience moral complexity to make choices that have consequences the church however took that story and turned it into a tool for control and here's why this matters if you can convince people that they're born guilty that their very existence is flawed then you've already won half the battle
because now they need you the institution to fix it original sin created a system where people are constantly trying to make up for something they didn't even do and the church stands ready offering salvation on their terms of course but if the concept of original sin isn't as Ironclad as we think if it was developed later to serve institutional power what does that say about the entire framework of sin guilt and Redemption this doctrine of original sin puts people into a NeverEnding cycle of guilt and forgiveness always dependent on external salvation but what if that
wasn't the point of the story at all what if the real message of the 1775 Bible was about human Freedom the freedom to choose to learn and yes even to to make mistakes but also to grow from them by transforming The Narrative of Adam and even into the foundation of original sin the church set itself up as the gatekeeper to Salvation they created a problem Humanity's inherent sinfulness and then positioned themselves as the only solution but the earlier versions of the Bible show a much more Dynamic hopeful vision for Humanity the story wasn't about eternal
damnation it was about Humanity stepping into its own taking on the resp responsibility of choice and understanding the complexities of life in fact if you strip away the later interpretations of original sin what you're left with is a story of empowerment Adam and Eve's decision to eat from the Tree of knowledge wasn't just a mistake it was the moment they became fully human they gained the ability to make moral choices to discern right from wrong and to shape their own Destinies that's not a fall that's the beginning of everything when we talk about the teachings
of Jesus the version most people know today has been filtered through centuries of interpretation Doctrine and institutional power but here's a provocative thought the 1775 Bible and earlier sources present a version of Jesus that's strikingly different from the one modern Christianity promotes in fact if we really dig into the older texts we find that Jesus message wasn't about creating a hierarchy of religious Authority it wasn't about about blind obedience to a set of rules now we're not just talking about Minor Details here in the 1775 Bible there are subtle but crucial differences in how Jesus
words are presented differences that point to a far more revolutionary figure than the one often portrayed in churches today instead of a savior who came to reinforce the religious structure Jesus is seen as someone who challenged it head on and that's where the real controversy begins let's start with one of the most significant themes in the teachings of Jesus the kingdom of God modern interpretations tend to place this Kingdom somewhere in the distant future or in heaven something to strive for but never quite reach in this life but in earlier versions of the Bible including
the 1775 Edition the kingdom of God isn't some far off Paradise Jesus says the kingdom of God is within you think about that it's not something external it's not controlled by a religious Authority it's not a place you go after you die it's here now inside you that one statement shifts everything if the kingdom of God is within you then you don't need a Church a priest or an institution to access it you don't need to follow rigid rules or rituals to be connected to the Divine you already have the access you already have the
power and that's dangerous for any institution that built its Authority on being the gatekeeper between you and God in fact this simple idea completely undermines the need for religious hierarchy Jesus wasn't setting up an institution he was showing people how to break free from one and this isn't just a one-off statement the 1775 Bible contains numerous passages where Jesus emphasizes personal responsibility spiritual Independence and a direct relationship with the Divine it's a message that invites people to question the structures around them structures that claim to speak for God but often end up serving their own
interests instead when you read these older texts you get the sense that Jesus wasn't just a teacher of morality he was a disruptor a spiritual Rebel look at his interactions with religious leaders of his time time and again he calls out their hypocrisy their obsession with laws over love rules over real spiritual connection he calls them blind guides leading people away from TR true understanding this wasn't the message of someone looking to build a church it was the message of someone trying to tear down the barriers between people and their spiritual freedom and if you
think about it that's why his message was and still is so radical it's not about following an institution it's about breaking free from one the modern church has largely ignored or downplayed this aspect of Jesus teaching why because of Jesus who encourages you to find the kingdom of God within yourself doesn't serve the church's interest in being the middleman a Jesus who empowers individuals to have their own direct connection with God doesn't reinforce the need for priests for Bishops for complex rituals and a Jesus who challenges religious Authority at every turn isn't going to fit
neatly into a system that's built on that very Authority there's another key element to consider the way Jesus viewed religious laws in modern interpretations much emphasis is placed on obedience on following the rules set down by religious institutions but in the 1775 Bible there's a far more nuanced view Jesus frequently challenges the religious laws of his day pointing out that they often miss the bigger picture when asked about the greatest commandment he doesn't point to any specific law he doesn't talk about rituals or sacrifices he says it's simple love God and love your neighbor as
yourself that's it two rules that boil down to love and compassion no complex doctrines no Gatekeepers telling you how to live your life this is where the 1775 Bible gives us insight into a more profound aspect of Jesus teachings a side of him that's been obscured over time Jesus wasn't here to build a religion of strict adherence to rules and traditions he came to show people how to live with purpose with love and with a direct connection to the Divine but over the centuries the church has shifted this Focus emphasizing obedience over understanding control over
freedom and this shift didn't happen by accident the more independent and self-sufficient people became in their spiritual lives the less they would need an institution to mediate that experience for them so the church leaned into interpretations that made it seem like the kingdom of God was something you could only reach through them when the older texts including the 1775 Bible suggest the exact opposite if you really start to dig into what Jesus was teaching it becomes clear his message was about Awakening not Allegiance it was about breaking away from systems that keep you spiritually dependent
not creating new ones to keep you in check and maybe that's why the Jesus of the 1775 Bible feels so different from the Jesus preached in most churches today because the real message Jesus true message was a threat to everything those institutions were trying to build the end times the apocalypse it's one of the most dramatic fear-inducing themes in the Bible the final judgment the end of the world Heaven and Hell hanging in the balance you've heard the sermons seen the movies but here's the question is the version of the end times you've been told
the real story or was it shaped yet again by centuries of interpretation control and fear now in most modern teachings the apocalypse is portrayed as a terrifying event a final brutal Reckoning where only a select few make it through the Gates of Heaven while the rest face eternal torment but if we go back to older texts the picture is much more nuanced the 1775 Bible doesn't lean as heavily into the imagery of Hellfire and brimstone instead it suggests that what we've come to know as the end times might not be about a literal destruction of
the world but a transformation an unveiling a revealing of deeper truths that have been hidden for ages the word apocalypse itself comes from the Greek word apocalypsis which means unveiling all Revelation it wasn't originally about chaos and destruction it was about revealing something hidden bringing truth to light what if the end times aren't about the end of the world but the end of deception the end of the systems of control fear and manipulation that have kept Humanity from understanding its true potential think about that what if the apocalypse is less about fire and fury and
more about Awakening an event where Humanity finally realizes the truth about our relationship with the Divine where the Illusions and false teachings fall away and we see the world for what it really is this idea shifts the entire conversation suddenly the end times aren't something to be feared they're something to be embraced a new beginning not a final judgment let's dig into this a little de deeper The Book of Revelation the Bible's most famous apocalyptic text has been used for centuries as a weapon of fear images of dragons beasts plagues and the Antichrist have been
used to terrify Generations into obedience but if we look closely especially in earlier versions like the 1775 Bible there's a different thread running through these passages one of renewal yes there's chaos yes there's conflict but at the heart of Revelation is the promise of a new Heaven and a new Earth it's a message of hope not just punishment in fact many scholars argue that the Book of Revelation was written as a symbolic critique of the Roman Empire not a prediction of the literal end of the world it was a message of resistance to tyranny encouraging
early Christians to stay faithful in the face of Oppression over time this message was twisted into a terrifying vision of global catastrophe but it didn't start that way the 1775 Bible presents an apocalypse that's not as focused on fear but on the ultimate Triumph of Truth over lies the forces of deception both spiritual and political are what collapse not the physical world the imagery of beasts and Empires falling isn't about Nations being wiped out it's about the systems of power that have kept people in spiritual Darkness finally crumbling here's where it gets really interesting the
older texts suggest that Humanity plays an active role in this trans foration we are not passive bystanders waiting for judgment we are participants in the unveiling of Truth The Apocalypse isn't just something that happens to us it's something that we help bring about by waking up by questioning the false narratives we've been fed by seeking the truth that's been hidden what if that's the real message of the end times that the world isn't destined for destruction but for a deeper understanding of who we are what we're capable of and our place in the universe the
idea that the apocalypse is actually a Great Awakening a collective shift in Consciousness reframes everything it's no longer a death sentence for Humanity it's a rebirth and this changes how we approach the entire concept of salvation if the end times are about revealing the truth then salvation isn't just about personal Redemption it's about aligning with that truth it's about seeing through the lies and stepping into a new reality where fear control and deception no longer have power over us this vision of the Apocalypse one based on awakening rather than destruction could be the reason why
certain passages and interpretations were altered over the years because A Narrative of fear keeps people in line but a narrative of Awakening that's liberating and it threatens the very institutions that benefit from maintaining fear and control so if the 1775 Bible and earlier texts offer us a glimpse into a different understanding of the end times what does that mean for us today it means we need to rethink everything maybe the apocalypse isn't something we should fear maybe it's something we should welcome because if it's really about unveiling the truth then it's the moment Humanity has
been waiting for the moment where everything we've been kept from knowing finally comes to light thank you for watching this deep dive into the Hidden Truths of the 1775 Bible if you've made it this far we appreciate you being open to exploring these ideas with us if you found this video valuable hit that like button drop a comment below with your thoughts and don't forget to subscribe to stay tuned for more videos like this God bless you all
