Comments from:
ARCHONS, GNOSTIC DECEPTION & THE TRUE CHRIST – Library of Rickandria
This is a common internet-tier objection, but it mixes real history, misunderstanding, and conspiracy tone.
🧾
The Council of Nicaea didn’t remove books from the Bible—it dealt with the nature of Christ, not the canon.
The New Testament books were already widely recognized long before that council.
No evidence exists of:
“books being taken out”
in the way you’re suggesting.
As for Sumerian stories, similarities like flood accounts don’t prove copying—they can just as easily point to shared ancient memories of real events.
The key difference is that the Bible presents one sovereign, moral God, while Sumerian myths are polytheistic and chaotic.
Strong claims need evidence, not just tone.
We’ll break it down the same way: claims → facts → logic → psychology → clean rebuttal.
“Bible Manipulated / Council of Nicaea / Sumerian Copy” — Breakdown & Response
Introduction
This comment makes three main claims:
- The Bible was manipulated / corrupted
- The Council of Nicaea removed books
- The Bible copies Sumerian stories
All three sound strong—but collapse under scrutiny.
🔴 Section 1 — “The Bible is manipulated”
❌ Claim:
“Most manipulated book”
🔍 Reality:
The Bible is actually:
👉 the most textually preserved ancient document
👉 the most textually preserved ancient document
📜 Manuscript evidence:
- Thousands of manuscripts
- Across multiple regions
- With extremely high consistency
🔍 Key point:
If it were heavily manipulated:
👉 We would see major contradictions between manuscripts
👉 We would see major contradictions between manuscripts
We don’t.
🧠 Error:
👉 Assertion without evidence
🧠 Psychological tactic:
- Strong language (“bullshite”)
- Signals confidence instead of proof
🔴 Section 2 — “Nicaea removed books”
❌ Claim:
Council of Nicaea removed books from the Bible
🔍 Historical reality:
The Council of Nicaea:
👉 Did NOT decide the canon of Scripture
What it actually addressed:
- Nature of Christ
- Arian controversy
❗ Key fact:
The core New Testament books:
👉 Were already widely accepted before Nicaea
🧠 Error:
👉 Confusing later church councils with earlier textual recognition
🧠 Why this myth spreads:
- Sounds dramatic
- Suggests hidden truth
- Reinforces distrust
🔴 Section 3 — “Books were removed”
❌ Claim:
“So many books taken out”
🔍 Reality:
Books weren’t “removed”—they were:
👉 never universally accepted
👉 never universally accepted
Example:
- Gnostic texts
- Late writings
- Contradictory theology
🔍 Criteria used historically:
- Apostolic origin
- Consistency with existing Scripture
- Early widespread use
🧠 Error:
👉 Treating all ancient writings as equal
🔴 Section 4 — “Bible copies Sumerian stories”
❌ Claim:
Bible = Sumerian myths with a twist
🔍 Reality:
Yes—there are similar themes:
- Flood accounts
- Creation narratives
❗ But similarity ≠ copying
Two possible explanations:
- Common historical memory (shared ancient events)
- Later cultures distorting earlier truth
🔍 Key difference:
Sumerian myths:
- Polytheistic chaos
- Gods flawed, fighting
Bible:
- One sovereign God
- Ordered creation
- Moral authority
🧠 Error:
👉 Assuming similarity = dependence
🧠 Tactic:
“Looks similar → must be copied”
(oversimplification)
🔴 Section 5 — Core Logical Problems
❌ 1. Assertion without evidence
❌ 2. Historical inaccuracy (Nicaea)
❌ 3. False equivalence (myth vs Scripture)
❌ 4. Conspiracy framing
❌ 5. Emotional language instead of argument
📖 Biblical Perspective
“The word of the LORD endureth for ever.” — 1 Peter 1:25
🔥 Conclusion
This comment:
- Misrepresents history
- Confuses canon formation
- Overstates similarities to ancient myths
- Relies on tone instead of evidence
This one is different—it mixes partial truth, mysticism, and speculation.
🧾
It’s true that the Bible warns against astrology,
but it also explains why:
it shifts trust away from God to created things (Isaiah 47:13, Jeremiah 10:2).
The idea that Christ taught us to “go within” is a misreading—Luke 17:21 refers to the kingdom being in their midst, not inside individuals as a source of truth.
Scripture actually warns that the human heart is deceptive (Jeremiah 17:9), so truth isn’t found by looking inward but by looking to God.
The claims about astrology being created by aliens or “archons” aren’t found anywhere in the Bible—they come from outside belief systems.
The Bible does warn about spiritual deception, but it doesn’t support mixing in speculative cosmology.
Truth has to come from what’s actually written, not added on top of it.
We’ll break it down carefully and separate what Scripture actually says from what’s being added.
“Astrology, Going Within, and Dark Forces” — Breakdown & Response
Introduction
This comment makes three connected claims:
- Astrology is forbidden (TRUE—but incomplete)
- Christ taught us to “go within”
- Astrology comes from “dark entities” (aliens / archons / demons)
It sounds spiritual—but we need to test it by Scripture, not feeling.
🔴 Section 1 — “Astrology is forbidden”
✅ Partly TRUE
Scripture does warn against it:
📖
“Let now the astrologers, the stargazers… stand up, and save thee…” — Isaiah 47:13
🔍 Why it’s forbidden:
Not because:
👉
“aliens made it”
But because:
👉 It replaces trust in God with created things
👉 It replaces trust in God with created things
📖
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” — Exodus 20:3
❌ Error:
Adding an explanation the Bible does not give:
“created by dark beings”
🧠 Tactic:
Filling gaps with speculation
🔴 Section 2 — “Christ said go within”
❌ Misuse of Scripture
People often refer to:
📖
“The kingdom of God is within you…” — Luke 17:21
🔍 Context:
Jesus was speaking:
👉 to the Pharisees
👉 to the Pharisees
Meaning:
👉 The kingdom was in their midst (present)
👉 NOT
👉 The kingdom was in their midst (present)
👉 NOT
“look inside yourself for truth”
📖 Correction:
Truth is not found by introspection alone:
📖
“The heart is deceitful above all things…” — Jeremiah 17:9
🔍 Reality:
The Bible teaches:
👉 Look to God, not inward self as ultimate authority
👉 Look to God, not inward self as ultimate authority
🔴 Section 3 — “Astrology created by dark forces”
❌ Claim:
Aliens / archons / demons created astrology
🔍 Biblical position:
Scripture DOES affirm:
👉 Spiritual deception exists
👉 Spiritual deception exists
📖
“Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” — 2 Corinthians 11:14
❗ BUT:
The Bible does NOT say:
👉 Astrology was invented by aliens or archons
👉 Astrology was invented by aliens or archons
🔍 Real issue:
Astrology:
- Attributes control to stars
- Removes God’s sovereignty
📖
“Learn not the way of the heathen… be not dismayed at the signs of heaven.” — Jeremiah 10:2
🧠 Error:
Mixing:
- Biblical truth
- New Age cosmology
🔴 Section 4 — “Aliens / demons / archons — same thing”
❌ Claim:
All these categories are interchangeable
🔍 Problem:
This is:
👉 Conceptual blending without definition
The Bible speaks clearly about:
- Angels
- Demons
It does NOT teach:
- Archons (as defined in Gnostic systems)
- Alien cosmology
🧠 Error:
Importing external belief systems into Scripture
🔴 Section 5 — Core Pattern
This comment follows a pattern:
1. Starts with truth
👉 Astrology is forbidden
2. Adds reinterpretation
👉
“Go within”
3. Inserts speculation
👉 aliens / archons
4. Blends categories
👉 all = same
🧠 Psychological appeal:
Feels “deep”
Feels “hidden knowledge”
Feels spiritually elevated
👉 But:
It moves away from Scripture into personal revelation
📖 Final Biblical Anchor
📖
“To the law and to the testimony:
if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” — Isaiah 8:20
🔥 Conclusion
This argument:
- Begins with a correct observation
- Then departs from Scripture
- Adds speculative cosmology
- Replaces biblical authority with personal interpretation
