The Bible
The updated Constitutions of Hammurabi and Ur-Nammu
Method 7: The Bible
The Bible is not Religion
Religions used The Bible but the first five books of the Bible are a third update of Hammurabi and Ur-Nammu’s Code and Constitution. The Bible is a time-tested and proven Civics textbook.
Hammurabi’s Code was strongly biased toward eye-for-an-eye justice (Retribution), while Ur-Nammu’s Code relied on monetary penalties and was decidedly more forgiving
Generally speaking, when social conditions are poor and social disruption is high, leadership should want to make corrections more decidedly; and then when conditions are balanced, prosperous, and need little correction or change, a lenient laissez-faire approach maintain both good lives and productive Advance (Teaching Tool: The Holy Spirit)
You can think of this repeating cycle and need for policy adjustment that ensures productivity and good lives, as a pendulum that must respond to performance monitoring’s reported need for correction (see Kondratieff waves, Business Cycles, Transition Economics). As long as policies are strategic and correcting the cause of problems (the dystopic conditions/the disease) alongside the tactical symptoms, then measurable advances social and economics can be achieved reliably
CSQ Research’s “The Book – the Scientific Update of the Bible” is a Case Study in Civic Science that uses the Global Leadership Book of Knowledge (GL-BOK), WAOH, and also MEMS, to confirm that Ta Biblia’s hundreds of scholars observed the lessons learned from over 3,000 years of successful societies – in a perfectly scientific manner
The Bible was created to by great Civic leaders to explain how we can build good lives and strong communities, and it was scientific because it was based on observations in civic rise and fall. Because of its 5-billion printings and 1700-year broadcast, 800 Constitutions are based on the Bible since 1791 (Wikipedia)
A trinity of teaching tools in storytelling taught us the essential building blocks of any civilization:
1. The Father, 2. the Son, and 3. the Holy Spirit:
- Good: System Empathy in our behaviour, actions, and in our laws – our Lord
- Respect: The Golden Rule – Jesus literally means “the Saviour” of others
- Creation: Building – through shepparding leadership; towards human advance
“Export more than you import and Be good to one another” – Edward Tilley
WARNING:
Religious literalists – may be offended by an academic discussion of messaging in sacred texts. Rest assured that assumptions here are all predicated on the Bible’s twenty explanations that God – “is Good”, God is light, great, greater, like diamonds, … which is a behaviour more than a diety
It’s important to remember that religions are more important when they can be the only messengers of a diety, and The Bible never says that God is a diety
It was the Muslim Judge Avaroes that explained famously – “Very few men can accept and understand academic discussion, and for the rest, there is the literal telling of (lessons and laws in) scripture”
Socrates – was murdered (made to eat hemlock at the age of 80) by the democratic parliament of Athens, because he encouraged his young students to pursue academic discussion of Greece’s Gods, instead of just reciting the literal stories. If this doesn’t prove the dangers of inciting academic discussion in the wrong group, I don’t know what does
“Individuals are smart; groups are dumb and the larger the group is, the dumber it gets” ... Edward Tilley
God is Good
No civilization is viable without good behaviour from everyone every day. Without a God and afterlife’s reminder, one might consider that being good is in our hands to decide, at our discretion, and if this is the case could we not also decide to take a day off once in a while – to covet, steal, and murder? “I was good all week – after all”
Leaving decisions in the hands of an individual isn’t enough, unfortunately – especially in communities where children are not taught about consequence – like ours today. Consider also the practical need for coping with human suffering in a high infant-mortality society; a child’s death becomes “God’s will” and not the fault of desperately bereaved parents
Scientific Thought for the Day: Are atheists really strong thinkers? They don’t believe in God, but they do believe in Good. Hmmm
I believe in God because my faith-based belief in God aligns with an evidence-based validation that Good builds successful lives and societies; I’m a research scientist who understands that teaching the building block of Good is essential to successful societies.
GL-BOK teaches God and Good interchangeably for this reason. If you are a person who believes science is truth, then you should realize as Voltaire did, that we should all believe in God in this way – just as econometric science also clearly proves that “Mankind is our Business” (seen here a TE Proof) …
Social Contract measures the Good in any society
The Golden Rule
Social Contract – Causal
The e=mc2 epiphany of Transition Economics is surely the Social Contract TEP. Ensuring the basic needs of neighbors permits productivity, prosperity, and good lives. The Golden Rule is an obvious and proven model for prosperous nations – and for World Peace, as proven by this chart
Ta Biblia translated the Hebrew name Joshua to Greek’s Jesus in 325 ACE/AD. The name Joshua means “Saviour (of others)”. So, in Ta Biblia – the father reminds us of essential Good – in all aspects of your own life, and then the father (good) works through the son, to save others and all mankind too; to bring good to others.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit is unquestionably brilliant literal imagery that also teaches essential good and, of course, the Golden Rule
Seven Deadly Sins

Finance
- Debt Forgiveness and Economic Resets in “50th-year Jubilees” is an excellent description of FDR’s, Hammurabi’s, and other resets & rebalancing of 60-year Mature Capitalisms. Mature Capitalisms are recorded thirty times in history. See Leviticus 25:26

- Savings – 10% Tithes to Church/Community and 10% to Savings
The Ten Commandments – The Importance of Law (Lord)
In the Bible, “I am Lord” or “This is the word of God”, mean “This is the Law”. Similar to the Golden Rule, the Ten Commandments are found in the scriptures of every bible and religion. Laws in ancient Summaria (2,000 BCE) numbered in the hundreds and 282 are in the Code of Hammurabi alone. In the Torah (ta Biblia’s Old Testament), there are 613 laws. The most important ethics and laws were correlated into easily memorized lists that mimic the number of fingers on two hands. The Vedas’ taught hundreds of religious and civil laws using memorizable rhymes and songs similarly.
- I am the Lord thy God/Good, thou shalt not have any strange gods before Me – Good is our #1 Priority (Teaching Tool: God, the Father)
- Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain – Do not permit Harmful Ideologies like Gender Theory, Race Theory, DEI, Wealth Theory, etc.
- Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day – Regular communal gatherings and outreach are essential
- Honor thy father and mother – Respect and the Golden Rule (Teaching Tool: Jesus, the Son)
- Thou shalt not kill
- Thou shalt not commit adultery – Family Values save us from 40+ serious social problems
- Thou shalt not steal
- Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor – ensure Truthful Speech
- Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife
- Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods
Respect
The Nuremberg Diaries (1946) called Evil in a society, the systemic absence of empathy
- Head of Household – importance is explained 100-times
- Respect of Wife – 100-verses
- Respect of Husband – 100-verses
- Respect of Neighbors – 35-verses
- Respect of Elderly – 100-verses
- Respect of Foreigners / “Aliens”

Science
- Genesis (Creation) – replace the word “day” with “one-billion” or “one-hundred-million years”, and Creation is Evolution
- Revelation (Destruction) – It would be hard to devise a better description of a Nuclear bombardment and winter, given the language available to scholars at the time of writing
- Washing in Running Water – death rates for pregnant mothers was 30% in an 18th-century hospital before washing with running water between patients, lowered that death rate to 2% – long before microscopic germ sciences were understood
- the Importance of Blood to the Flesh
- the Earth is a Circle – and – it hangs on nothing
- The Paths of the Seas – explained Ocean currents
- Laws of Quarantine – for Leppers was explained
- Shipbuilding proportions are those used in enormous cruise ships today
Thoughts, Words, Actions
From all corners of philosophy, a meaningful life is not achieved through belief in a deity or in good words alone. One’s worthwhile actions must contribute to the building of a sustainable society and Good Life – as Aristotle put it.
Thoughts
Words
Actions – there are 100-verses that explain worthwhile, purposeful Actions in the bible
Chapter by Chapter
Ta Biblia, and other bibles, are textbooks that explain how to build successful societies. This method section examines the composition of Bibles to understand how Governments since the time of Summerian and Egyptian civilizations structured their laws The GL-BOK explains numerous examples of why chapters were selected by Constantine’s Scholars in 325 CE/AD at the Nicaean Council, what they contained, and why each was important.
The Old Testament – the Hebrew Bible is the Tenakh
Tenakh is Te = Torah, Na = the Nevi’im, and finally Kh = Kethuvim
The first 5 books are the Pentatouche or The Torah (Lessons and Laws)
- Genesis – In the Beginning… a scientific explanation of how mankind came to be
- Exodus, Deuteronomy, Leviticus – A near-copy point-for-point and an update of the King Hammurabi’s 282 Laws with summaries similar to Vedas teaching chants – one lesson per finger
- The Royal Family History of the Jewish people
- The Great stories of lessons learned like Job, or Goliath, or Samson, or Jesus
The New Testament
- In 3,000 years of observing nations rise and fall, a Trinity of behaviours builds an advancing civilization reliably: Good, Respect, and Creation:
- God The Father – Good and systemic empathy in actions and laws (Lord)
- The Son – Jesus in Greek is Joshua in Hebrew, which means the Saviour (of others) – the Golden Rule
- The Holy Spirit – Creation – the building and shepparding of human advance
- Zoroastrians summarize this as: Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds
The New Testament’s update permitted personal growth because Thoughts were not Words, Words were not Actions, and Deeds/Actions always built and shepparded Human Advance
- Four Gospels teach The Golden Rule
- Revelation – explains that collapse is the consequence of not creating a Scientific Society
- Revelation also explains that we can never “tattoo” align ourselves with the name of an economic power – Babylon, Rome, the Medieval Church, WEF’s Right vs Left, Neoliberalism, Wealth Theory, etc. Oligarchies are “the Beast”. Remember how the medieval Church created a 1,000 year dystopia during the Dark and Middle Ages in Europe, for example
