You're not making sense, what's your point?
My point is that Peter promoted free choice and was in the new testament. Revelations promoted blind obedience to all of the bible and was in the old. New testament is more popular than old testament. You ever wonder why that is? You ever consider it might not just be the fact it doesn't promote killing everyone (although it certainly promotes killing quite afew) but that it allows people to pick and choose?
The New Testament was like a PR campaign. Do you really think anyone would really follow the Bible today if it hadn't been added on? It allowed you to pick and choose which means you can just ignore the old testament and the bits you don't like.
So my point is that the truth has very little to do with what the Bibles for. It just lets people mix and match their own little system of beliefs by cherry picking.
Do you understand?
The Old Testament has archaelogical proof that it hasn't been changed. As the Torah, it was a book of reflection and was supposed to be interpretted by the reader.
The New Testament, was a Roman-fuelled bastardization of circulating texts that were designed to controll the primarily pagan citizens.
You fell for the lie, get over it. (you don't have to still believe the lie now, ya know?)
Revelations exposed the existence of free will. There would be no need of a warning if the Bible couldn't be changed...
