    My The Holy Bible, Screen Play

    Discussion in 'Plot Development' started by Bobby Burrows, Oct 16, 2018.

    Probably will be seen as offensive, probably will, somewhere in the world, who knows?

    Actually, if I write it, it will be heresy.
    So... There's that.

    But I want to write MY understanding, MY theories of the Holy Bible (and it's a good story), like, potentially eye opening faith inspiring stuff right - I want to write it, because I have the story. :)

    What if The Holy Bible is proof of Time Travel?
    What if the life eternal is uploading the brain?
    Who knows what Heaven is?
    I would like to rewrite Bible stories from a Sci Fi point of view to give rise to the possibility of divine intervention being proof of time travel.

    To me, the Pentateuch or Torah (first five chapters of the Old Testament) reads more like an account of aliens visiting Earth from the POV of a primitive people. Suggested evidence of time travel or the ability to see into the future (e.g. Genesis 15) are more likely (using Occam's Razor) later revisions by clerics who wanted to add a little panache to the script, though that's just my interpretation.

    In Genesis 19, two aliens visit the house of one of their assets in Sodom and do some work in the village square, possibly establishing an airstrike beacon. Later the townsfolk, probably tipped off by a witness, storm Lot's house and want him to send out the aliens. Lot panics, but the alien agents say, "Hold on, we've got this," and use some weapon to (temporarily?) blind the attackers. Then they tell Lot, their asset, to take his family and get out of the valley, because it's no longer safe. Lot takes his family and runs through the night to safety, but his wife, a curious person, creeps back to the rim of the valley and watches the destruction, which ends up taking her life (evidence of nuclear bombardment?).

    In Exodus 14, when the Israelites fled Egypt across the Red Sea, the "pillar of cloud" sounds quite close to a fuel-expending rocket. Watch a SpaceX Falcon launch and landing to see what I mean.

    In Exodus 15, Moses is gifted with a water filter. In Exodus 16, edible food pellets are distributed from aircraft.

    Read with your inquisitive imagination turned on and without pre-disposition (i.e. don't go into it with an idea in mind that you're looking to validate) and you might be surprised what you encounter.

    If you want to write your understanding, your theories of Bibble, your main problem will not be if it will be seen offensively or not.

    (If you wrote about Quran, it was very different thing.)

    Your main problem would be the level of competition.

    For 2000 years some of the most talented brains of human race have told their views, their studies, their understanding.

    Even if we have a look only to recent (after WW2) writers... And even if we pay attention only to those who have acted it out in their lives. Richard Wurmbrand, Anthony de Mello, David Pawson, Desmod Tutu and thousands, thousands more.

    Interpreting Bibble is Heavy Weight Writing. Just take care that you have trained, prepared yourself and you have your earthly and spiritual protection ok before you go to that ring. That is World League -level. Don't go there if you are not World League Writer.

    If you are? Well... Then... Good luck for you. We'll here about you.

    Competition?
    As far as I can tell, we're a species who haven't put two & two together on that one (yet); I mean, until I find some works who say 'it was time travel' I'm pretty sure I have no competition yet.

    Due to the nature of our ever orbiting Earth orbiting an ever moving star known as our sun which is moving throughout the Galaxy, any time travel will need to travel through time and space, and what I plan to do is to link heavenly voices booming from the sky and other miracles, to our future selves back in the past.

    Then my story dances on timelines and my own theory of our history being a by product and not a prime time line.

    I've seen Tupac's hologram perform after his death on YouTube, what if the story of Jesus's resurrection was a hologram?
    You'd have to read what I write to see where I'm going with that, and that is one of many examples I can write about to back up my own theory which will be the story.
    Chariots of fire, burning bushes, Adam & Eve (more symbolic of a generation in my story), but, all miracles and divine intervention I can try and link to time travel from 'mankind's future' to biblical time, and having ancient texts being proof of time travel.

    It's like a smoking gun for proof of time travel, to me, and, that's what I intend to do/write, because I somehow seem to have that story, that I feel, no one else has quite cottoned to yet, and I can only thank how I was raised to sow the seed that has become my own beliefs and theories.

    I plan to write the Bible from God's point of view, only, God is a group of scientists from the future who...
    Only care about one timeline and, I believe our history, is a byproduct, and somewhere, maybe, there's a 2018 that still has divine intervention and these people are working towards that end, and us, without divine intervention, is nothing more than a by product.

    There's quite a few stories out there (some fiction and some nominally non-fiction) out there that argue that the Bible (or insert ancient stories / myths of your choice) was actually the work of aliens, time travellers or what have you. So it can easily work.

    But.....what's the question here? Do you want advice on anything in particular, or are you just unloading ideas into this thread?

    How do you suppose you're going to get around all the abhorrent material in the Bible? The wholesale subjugation of women, genocide, God's full-throated acceptance of institutional slavery, etc. If God is but a bunch of time traveling scientists, I'd expect the Bible to be in someway enlightened.

    Here's a better idea for a story, one with far fewer loose ends: Jesus Christ is an astronaut, a time traveler. The eternal champion condemned to where the winds of Limbo roar.

    I'd get by it calling it the ignorance of a more primitive mankind getting the wrong idea?.. IDK.
    But I will make God, this body of future scientists meaning well and compassionate and working towards one end (which is a time line we're a byproduct of).
    I'd make Jesus Jesus and immaculate conception be future technology.

    Why I wonder, would I want to make Jesus not from the time he's born in when we have the nativity story?
    That bright star guiding the three wise men, will no doubt, be a space ship or space station or something artificial and bright to guide them.

    Yeah, I don't buy that ancient aliens theory when I myself feel they're barking up the wrong tree.
    I'm going with humans from our future doing it.

    Makes more sense to me.


    I guess I'm just hoping this isn't heresy (which it most probably is) or offensive.
    I know there are believes that say we cannot know what God looks like or something from Sunday School back in the 1990's.
    And, IDK, I know Jesus Christ Superstar when it premiered was a musical that had a picket line.

    But I want my story to bring fresh ideas from the tired and old ancient aliens idea which I also feel, as I've said, is barking up the wrong tree, and to give hope for the future of mankind and the proof of time travel we might need to accept time travel.

    One idea I'm playing around with is, making this a serial.

    Tell well known/popular Bible Stories, to ease in any producers, and write 3 or 6 episodes on one story, and then another 3 or 6 episodes for another story, and, take it from there.
    Focus on one bible story at a time, maybe (out of the ones I wish to retell).

    All I can say is that you wouldn't be the first to reinterpret the Bible. Clive Barker's Imajica is such a story, though not a very flattering interpretation in the eyes of people of faith. In it, he "clarifies" human understanding of Heaven and Earth as each being one of five Dominions. Earth became separated from the other four Dominions at some point in the past. In Barker's interpretation of things, God (Hapexamendios) is not a creator but instead, a conqueror who blazed a path of destruction across the Dominions until reaching the First Dominion (Heaven), wherein He installs Himself as supreme overlord. The MC of the story is a bloke nicknamed Gentle (allusion and foreshadowing) who we later learn is very likely the younger brother of the person we think of as Jesus Christ, and Jesus, rather than having been sent to save mankind from its sins, instead came to save mankind from his daddy, Hapexamendios.

    Gentle has a lover in the form of a being we're meant to interpret as an angel named Pie'oh'pah. Pie is a shapeshifter but spends most of his time as a very fit, handsome black fellow. He helps Gentle discover his true nature as Son of God and helps Gentle learn that Father isn't the loving soul we've been singing about on Earth.

    Did I mention that it's not a very flattering interpretation in the eyes of people of faith? :whistle:

    I guess if someone can sell that idea, people can sell mine?
    Because, I don't want to offend anyone, I want to inspire faith, renew it, and share a faith I have.

    Hmmm, here's a thought, make Earth a Dinosaur/Dragon world, have mankind walking them, but mankind coming from Mars (or somewhere Planet X and when that hits, skies on fire and rivers and Hell on Earth and the coming of Jesus type stuff) and creating a Garden of Eden for a bunch of settlers here on Earth.

    And start there, and then work my way up from Genesis to other stories I wash to tell.

    If there is a Planet X, how might NASA or some top secret project use that planet's (Planet X) gravity to look for a new home and use that to sling shot away and deplete ALL THE ENERGY of the sun/solar system to be 'everywhere' with unified field theory and displace us far, far away to Earth M.2, some other world light years away on some other solar system?

    Y'know, when it's the end, be like 'f**k it' and, blow this joint' solar system and use all our energy here from everything in the solar system from Sun to all planets.. - and use that to really go out in one aimed shot in some other solar system and land there propelled by all the gravity and energy displaced from the solar system.
    Take as much life as we can, and let's try do that.

    There's a Spanish writer called J.J. Benitez that wrote Caballo de Troya books (Trojan Horse). I think he wrote 10 books about Time Travel and Jesus. I couldn't finish the first one but your idea about a Bible sci-fi series seems interesting, specially the Old Testament book.
    I don't think we'll see your movie in Christmas Eve instead of Charlton Heston's The Ten Commandments, but if you think you can encourage faith in people, go for it. Or go for it just because you want to. Anyway, I'd would read your story as long as it doesn't need a ten-book size.

    I take it you haven't done a Google search for the words "time travel in the Bible" then. It's an existing theory. In fact, the idea that civilization or even life on Earth was seeded or aided by future humans is the subject of several works of fiction. I don't know of any that are completely bible-centric though, so more power to ya.

    @Alan Aspie is right; know your stuff. I wouldn't worry about competition, especially if this is speculative. If you write this as non-fiction theory, then you're up against people who have dedicated their lives to the subject, and would love nothing more than to shred an apposing theory. If it's a narrative though, you're golden, but either way, study up. Great fiction about alternative interpretations of the Bible, like "Lamb" by Christopher Moore, is extensively researched.

    Interestingly enough there are passages within the Bible which give God's point of view. Particularly, where he was sad that he had made the people of the earth because he could read their hearts and minds and knew that there was nothing but bad in them all the time.

    Imagine a group of scientists who can read the thoughts of man, and know what their base intention is. What if you were that scientist? What if your population directly ignored all the advice given by these scientists or provided their own interpretation of what you knew to be true and they've got it completely wrong?

    What if the people of the earth misread these scientists intentions? What if there were another group of scientists bent on discrediting the work of the first set of scientists?

    God, Jesus and Angels = Scientists with differing abilities, all working toward the head scientists goal. They're about to cause a mass extinction event (Armageddon). Want to innoculate all against what's coming, don't want to see anyone destroyed, but recognize its on the population to fall in line. Will help, but work is occurring so fast, they don't have time to hold your hand. They have people for that.

    Satan and Demons= Antagonist Scientists. Knows there's a short time before mass extinction event too, but cares nothing for the general population. Only working toward their own goals.

    Earth people = We have the non-scientific, scientifically inclined but definitely not interested in peer review, and scientists who love science and love peer review. These last scientists are out there warning others this mass extinction event is coming and no one believes them. Conspiracy theorists - wildcards, can fall either way.

    Rules of engagement. Each must learn and proceed according to the rules of engagement. Protagonist scientists cannot break the rules of engagement, cannot enforce 'inoculation', it must be the individuals choice.

    Bible = Manual written in code, tells enough of what you need to know in order to know which side to belong to, but it uses the operation of energy (holy spirit) to ascertain whether or not you'd make a good candidate for the world as it will be after the mass extinction event. Not all who read it, are invited. This energy is also granted to those compete according to the rules of engagement.

    Prayer = open communication with the protagonist, not accessible by the antagonist. Anytime, anywhere you have access to this group.

    Divine intervention... prayed for, hoped for, not always what humans expect.
