Look at this point I am genuinely intrigued and in awe of just how many times a day that I have been seeing the number 13, prior to last couple of months 2-3 months I was quite a fan and would see the number 11 everywhere this has changed, to be honest I have changed significantly over the past few years I would like to think for the better but in light of the connotations attached to the number 13, I am curious but also concerned that I am seeing it everywhere, I came here to get your expertise on this. I was born September 29 1989, Libra, I love the number 9 but I have a special place for the number 11 too as it represents a huge turning point in my life completing medical school, proposing to the love of my life and moving away from my home country, any help and guidance would genuinely be appreciated, much love!!

Example just now saw 13 on the washing machine and then again 13 on my smart meter to make the point

Quick questions: As an Orthodox Christian I find it fascinating how different denominations of Christianity do not believe in intercession of the righteous, the saints, the holy mother and most importantly Angelic intercession, multiple Biblical references can be discussed to make the case, It is a profound point of contention with protestant believers, I want to see your perspective on this and would like to have a genuine conversation on the topic.

Let’s stir the pot a bit, why is the Ethiopian Bible, the oldest and most complete Bible on earth, barely ever mentioned in mainstream Christian discussions? Centuries older than the King James and containing over 80 books vs 66 most Westerners know. It includes books like Enoch and Jubilee that were deliberately excluded from later Western canons.

Why?

Here are some cold facts:

The Ethiopian Bible (Ge’ez script) dates back to the 4th century, fully compiled way before Europe even standardized its canon.

The Book of Enoch? Preserved only in full by the Ethiopian Church, yet ironically, early Christians and even Jesus’ followers quoted it.

The Book of Jubilee? Same story, detailed accounts of the laws, festivals, and angelic orders completely erased from modern Western texts.

So my burning questions for you la Familia:

Why was the Ethiopian Bible sidelined in global Christianity despite its age and authenticity?

Why were books like Enoch and Jubilee considered ‘heretical’ only after the Roman Church took over canon formation? Power move? Whitewashing? Not Fitting of the monarchial standards?

Is it just coincidence that the only unbroken preservation of these texts comes from an African nation, and yet they’re almost always framed as “fringe” by Western scholars?

How do we explain the massive theological gaps that come from excluding these texts, especially when some Dead Sea Scrolls confirmed their ancient authority?

Not to get conspiratorial, but let’s be real: Is this whitewashing of religious history, pure Eurocentrism, or something deeper?
