I hate it for a lot of reasons

1. It adds Hebrew where Hebrew doesn't exist in the original. It's based on the assumption that Hebrew is the original language, but there's no proof of that. The original form of the book of revelation says Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, they change that to Yahusha the Aleph and Tov. That's fanfic, there's no reason to believe it's true

2. A lot of the apocrypha they include is really bad. I don't mind including the typical deuterocanonical books included in Catholic or Orthodox Bibles, I'm not even that against including the book of 1 Enoch, but they include psalms 152-155 (later inventions), the book of Jubilees (a rabbinical text that only shares the same name with the book referenced in the Bible), Acts 29 (British israelite fanfiction from the 19th century), the book of Jasher (same boat as Jubilees), etc.

3. Judaizing is a heresy so early it's covered in the New Testament. There is no reason it should be revived so blatantly.

Not to mention, the full book costs NINETY-FIVE dollars. Bibles shouldn't be that expensive. My Bible cost me 12 bucks. It's a clear money making scheme.

So enoch is worth a read?

I'd say 1 Enoch is worth a read. I don't think it's scripture, but it's certainly significant

>I am the Aleph and the Tav את, the beginning and the ending, says Jesus ELOHIYM, which is, and which was, and which is to come, Jesus TSEVA’OTH.

>Jesus ELOHIYM

>Jesus TSEVA’OTH

Meanwhile, in the actual Bible

>ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ ἄλφα καὶ τὸ ὦ, λέγει κύριος ὁ θεός, ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος, ὁ παντοκράτωρ

>κύριος ὁ θεός ("Lord God")

>παντοκράτωρ ("Almighty")

Deliberately mis-translating something to pander to Jews and Christian Zionists (read "morons") is ridiculous.

It also includes genuine apocrypha, which definitely shouldn't be included in the "Divine Book" (viz. all the SHENIY CEPHERIYM, Baruk Sheniy, Ezra Reviy`iy, Makkabiym Reviy`iy, and Ma’aseh chapter 29). It also removes parts of Ecter and Daniye’l (putting the parts in separate books).

Worse, it costs $95. The app costs $22! Just get a cheaper Bible not made by a bunch of heretics to make money.

tfw Messianic Judaism started out as Jesus Freak hippies wanting to convert Jews to Christianity but instead it’s ended up doing the opposite because modern day Evangelicalism is so devoid of actual structure and spirituality that they would rather become literal converts or at the very least pay almost blasphemous levels of lip service to “Jesus-Sucks-Rabbi’s-Based-ism” or begome Cathodox then actually try to live the life that Luther, Westly or even Smyth wanted from them.
