I will be decoding some parts of the best selling book in the world the bible as a start then I'll be doing the rest other religious book too. I will not be doing all of each book for now just some but maybe in the future I will, it depends on how big this is going to get.

As you all know (I'll take the bible as an example but it's also valid with other books) the bible is still a book the only difference is what's written inside. It is said that the books are written by prophets and god's apostles. But in the end it still a book right?

So for now let put in our mind that the bible is a normal book. The book is written in an ancient language that is not use anymore and is translated in many different languages correct?

Now let's consider the bible as a ancient school book or text book use to teach people in ancient times. For the people of  that time. Now this school book or scriptures are dicovered and is complied and it became a book.

But not many of you know not all this scripture are put inside the bible. Some people decided that not all this scripture should be put in this school book. And that's not the only problem that we have. If you look it in an educational point of view, you are teaching only the stuff you think I should know. You are basically not showing me everything. But that was the old times when we didn't have internet. Now we are free to look for this information ourselves.

There are books that some people considered not putting inside the bible or are considered not word of god or teachings of god I think. So I will tell you some of it (this books are also good for research if your looking for some idea to write a new story)

The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of eden, it is the translation some of The Old Testament pseudepigrapha and The new testament of apocrypha. Not to mention the dead sea scroll

Some facts about it: http://www.centuryone.com/25dssfacts.html

Now we metioned that there are scripture not included in this school book. Okay, maybe some of you would think it's reasonable, then I'll say it's fine then. So now let's look at this school book in a different way then.

We know the bible is translated from an ancient language (that is not spoken anymore) into our present language right? All of the multi language speaker knows that if a book or a movie is translated from it's original language to another language (still upset about how they translated harry potter from english to italian) change a lot. Some idioms, jokes and maybe other words were translated differently from one language to the other. So imagine a very old language that is not use anymore and is translated to our present language. And not only, this text book is a school book from ages ago for the people of ages ago. You see where I'm getting at? Meaning this book was written for the people at that time. The question I have now is, if the bible would be written or converted in our time version how would it be written?

So in this book I will try to write the bible ('try' is the word) convert it in our time version. From the book that is translated. I would just like to remind you that I have no evident facts that what I wrote maybe exactly how it should be. (So if some of you brainy people, scientist, physicist and psycologist, graduates or not, have anything to add some solid theories, scientific facts or just more detailed explaination. Please do tell, I'll be happy to dedicate a chapter and acknoledgment to those who can help me.) Some might disagree with my theories and you're free to do so as long as there is respect I'm all ears.

I will be using two translated version in english, and to show the difference it makes. Then I will try to convert it and see what I will come up with.

I will be using my knack for critiques, keen observation, third eye, and the minum stuff I learned from the internet and friends, and from highschool (yup not a college grad).

A/N: Thanks for reading and just a warning in may cause confusion, enlightment and insanity. Good Luck.
