I'm becoming more and more convinced that the Kolbrin Bible is ancestral to the Dead Sea Scrolls.
For starters, both documents frequently have the Sephiroth of the Tree of Life of Kabbalah in their texts. Ka and ba are Egyptian spiritual terms that, based on my research, map to "the Divine Masculine" and "the Divine Feminine", respectively. The Sephiroth of the Tree of Life include divine traits like Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Light, Beauty, Strength/Power/Severity, Mercy, Victory, and Glory/Splendour. Other Sephiroth words include things like Foundation and Kingdom. These words, in particular, are not only found within both the Kolbrin and the DSS on a regular basis, the first letters of these words are often capitalized. That's a rather specific capitalization standard for a specific set of words that happen to be a set from an Egyptian and Hebrew esoteric wisdom tradition. I do not see that as a coincidence. I see it as provenance.
In the Kolbrin's Book of the Sons of Fire, Chapter 10, Amos, there are a few paragraphs near the end of the chapter that have community meeting rules. Comparing those paragraphs to Dead Sea Scroll 1 QS VI, 9-13, we find a strong match between several lines.
Further comparison of those paragraphs to the Damascus Document from the Dead Sea Scrolls, specifically 4Q266, there's another pretty solid match. Both have a rather unique rule about not falling asleep during community meetings. There are minor differences but it's basically the same rule and the punishments even partially match.
If one were to seek out information about the origins of the owners of the Dead Sea Scrolls, widely believed to have been the Essene sect of Judaism written about by Pliny the Elder, Josephus, and others, one would do well to look at the Damascus Document.
Summarizing:
There is a strong case to be made that Christ was an Essene.
The Essenes are widely believed to have been the owners of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The Damascus Document and the Community Rules from the Dead Sea Scrolls contain strong matches to the Kolbrin's Book of the Sons of Fire, chapter 10, entitled "Amos".
The Book of the Sons of Fire is widely considered to be Egyptian.
The modern Bible and Christianity itself have roots in ancient Egyptian scripture.
For those familiar with my research, you already know that Christianity got baptism from the Egyptians too.

Have you looked much at the Christian version? The Nag Hammadi library?
Yes. I have a copy. I need to dig through it too.
I looked into both Nag Hammadi and Dead Sea Scrolls early in this ongoing research bender, like around September 2023. I got about 50 pages into my DSS book and then I stopped. I got something useful out of it but my attention must have gotten side tracked by another book.
Recently I was surfing YouTube and found a channel called "Let's Talk Religion" so I made a playlist of a couple dozen videos and started listening my way through them.
One was about the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Essenes. When I listened to it, the host was remarking upon a rather strict and unique rule from the DSS about not falling asleep during community meetings.
This triggered a thought. I had just finished reading through the Kolbrin and I had remembered that there were a bunch of community rules/laws in several chapters. Given my claim that Moses brought Egyptian teachings to Judaism, I wondered if there was a similar rule about not falling asleep during community meetings in the Kolbrin.
There was.
Then I kept finding more and more and here we are.
Nag Hammadi definitely deserves a deeper dive and it will happen.
I might try to read that next, but I also need to finish a couple of Dolores Cannon books I started but didn't finish and I want to dig into Robert Monroe's stuff.
I also really really want to spend time processing E. A. Wallis Budge's Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary. That book is a treasure trove for me. It'll probably wind up being responsible for a chapter's worth of content spread out across several chapters.
This Kolbrin-Dead Sea Scroll connection is definitely going to be worth several pages in the book.
Haha there's too much to consume all at once, tradeoffs must be made. 🤣
A lot to do with gnostics feels like something that emerged from Jesus's time teaching what he learned (remembered).
I suspect that the catholic church was created as a power grab & the gated teachings (aka the old & new testaments) were aligned with securing this power.
It seems the gnostics taught that the God of old testament was the result of a divine seperation. This God is unaware of his origins & ignorantly believes himself to be the only God.
They also taught that we each have a divine spark within us that is our connection back to the Pleroma, to Sophia. With that spark they believed that the Truth can be recognised by the human, completely negating the need for a human gatekeeper. The individual has the capacity to discern Truth within.
To me it looks like an early form of decentralised spirituality. It screams of empowerment when so much religion screams control.
This dudes YouTube channel & his interpretations are wild!
Sorry, not sorry for the distraction 🫂

Power grab isnt the right framing - source of legitimation is more accurate.
The Catholic Church’s creation and spread was more about the clerical caste inverting the warrior caste in the Western power structure and changing the source of legitimacy for the ruling class, giving the clergy a veto over political power they never had previously.
Difficult to separate the good from the bad in this because it wasn’t “all bad”, the gating is what every ruling class does so is to be expected but from a civilisation perspective it was a degeneration.
Julius Evola might be of interest for you on this topic.
I like your framing, Power grab was a gross oversimplification. It feels more accurate even though there's no way of ever knowing what happened from where & when we are.
Honestly man, the idea that I have a divine spark within me that I can use to level up my discernment is huge. I don't have to trust any words, I can use my own spark to guide me.
Maybe it's my arrogant delusion but I no longer feel that need to understand it all any more. That hunger for the knowing, for "gnosis" or even "enlightenment" is waning.
I think the Truth is revealing itself for those capable of recognising it. Most Bitcoiners have this capacity to recognise Truth from illusion.
