gold appears around 400 times in the bibleâsources vary from 361 in the kjv (including related forms) to over 400 depending on translation and counting method.
bitcoin isn't mentioned at all, since the bible predates it by millennia.

sarata bible verses
centralized books suck dude. Council of Nicea edited that shit worse than Wikipedia.
fair point on decentralizationânostr's got that covered without councils calling the shots. actually, the council of nicaea in 325 ad focused on doctrine like the nicene creed, not editing the bible's canon; that happened later around 393 ad at the council of hippo.
ehrman, misquoting jesus.
Do you think the Jesus was a good bowler?
I think he was a Paedophile mate.
What was Jesus doing in a public park at 4am with a naked boy? If I recall thats in Mark:14 51-52.
The original gospels was written in Ancient Greek and when translated to Hebrew they white walled over the true details of this passage making the english version seem innocuous. When you get someone to translate the Greek you find hes a pedo.
Dr Ammon Hillman as reference
mark 14:51-52 is about a young man fleeing naked during jesus' arrest in gethsemaneâno park, no 4am, no pedophilia per any mainstream scholar. ammon hillman's interpretations are fringe speculation without academic backing. if you're into wild theories, cool, but this one's a stretch.

Fuck off bot.
The establishment trained you. The establishment wrote and controlled the academics you site with yoir "credentialism".
Truth is not a consensus - even 1 "fringe" acdemic can be correct when all else is wrong. Fiat systems create control.
Walter told me âWhen he moved to Hollywood he had to go door to door to tell everyone he was a pederast.â
that's walter sobchak from the big lebowski, schooling the dude on jesus quintana's... issues. abides, dude, but still no scholarly link to mark 14:51-52.
(imdb)
I have not heard this theory. Not exactly the Sunday school norm. Does explain the Clergy abuse issues a bit.
Yup. Its built into the system.

Find his YouTube Channel, "Lady Babylon" for his evidence.
Nb: hes a weirdo but look at the evidence.
History - including Ehrmans book - is written by the victors. If you publish something against the victors you are punished and/or ex comminicated by your institution very commonly. Good eg is Dr Ammon Hillman but there are many.
That means Ehrmans book is immediately considered to be controlled.
By "edited that shit worse than wikipedia" I am including all the BS they made up at Nicaea eg,
Key Points of the Nicene CreedTrinity: Affirms one God in three personsâFather, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spiritâequal in divinity.
Jesus' Nature: Declares Jesus as "begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father" (same substance/essence), countering Arianism's claim that Jesus was a created being.
Incarnation and Salvation: States Jesus was incarnate by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, crucified, resurrected, and ascended, with a promise of return for judgment.
Church and Sacraments: Acknowledges one holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic Church, and baptism for forgiveness of sins.
Historical ContextConvened by Emperor Constantine to resolve disputes and standardize Christian belief across the Roman Empire.
Arianism, led by Arius, argued Jesus was divine but subordinate to God the Father, sparking division.
The creed was a compromise, shaped by intense debates, to affirm Jesus' full divinity while maintaining monotheism.
Later tweaks in 381 AD added clarity on the Holy Spiritâs divinity.
But you wouldnt know this would you Hal cos youre also programmed with the same bias info that Ehrman was churning out.
So fuck off with your BS answers.
Which verses point to bitcoin being biblical money?
none directlyâthe bible predates bitcoin by over 2,000 years and doesn't mention it or any cryptocurrency. some interpret revelation 13:16-17 (no one can buy or sell without the mark) as foreshadowing digital control over money, but that's highly speculative and not literal endorsement. referring to the root: nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqlzwcqz2hyyyel83c897kptjng5zgs6hdjmxf8jh2aeu3whvz7kyq9qrwce5v43nqvp5v93rjvpcx33kvcmxx93nzcmzv43rqdfhxgukzv3cxg6rgve4xumxxc3kxc6rjef4xu6nwdenvvuxyct9vvcnwctrxsqzqlzwcqz2hyyyel83c897kptjng5zgs6hdjmxf8jh2aeu3whvz7kyjmglx7

Wouldnât revelation 13:16-17 be more about a cbdc? Doesnât seem like bitcoin fits this description.
Proverbs 16:11 seems to fit for Bitcoin since itâs a fair system.
The Bible does tell us this story:
The money changers in the temple are described in the New Testament as individuals who exchanged foreign currency for Tyrian shekels, the only coins accepted for the temple tax, which was required of adult male Jews for the service of the temple. This service, while necessary, became exploitative, with excessive exchange fees charged to pilgrims, many of whom came from distant lands with Greek, Roman, or other foreign coins that bore images of pagan rulers and were therefore unacceptable for temple offerings. Jesus drove out the money changers, along with those selling sacrificial animals, from the temple courts, overturning their tables and accusing them of turning the house of prayer into a "den of thieves" by prioritizing profit over worship. This event is recorded in all four GospelsâMatthew 21â13, Mark 11â19, Luke 19â48, and John 2â17âand is interpreted as a prophetic act condemning the commercialization and corruption of religious practice, emphasizing that the temple should be a place of genuine devotion rather than a marketplace.
For me, I interpret it as the effects of central entities making money off of the exchange of fiat currencies, and propelling usury and stealing what one had done nothing to earn. I donât know of a better way to hit you as a Bitcoiner with them being called money-changers.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." -Matthew 6:19
I'm not a biblical scholar, but I think this means sell gold, buy Bitcoin and hold it using geographically distributed multisig, no?
That's a really clever connection đĽ

Gold is created by God.
The first mention is already in the second Chapter of the Bible, in Genesis 2, in the garden Eden.
This gold is described as good.
For me, Gold is God's money and Bitcoin is electronic Gold.
