How did they know this about gemstones 2000 years ago?
>In the past century, it has been discovered that gems can be classified as either anisotropic or isotropic, and only recently have scientists discovered cross-polarized light, which can be used to identify whether a gem is anisotropic or isotropic. When viewed in crossed-polarized light (“pure” light), anisotropic stones produce a colorful array- reflecting all the colors of the rainbow, whereas isotropic stones lose all of their colors and appear black. In Revelation chapter 21 there are 12 gems mentioned to be inlaid for decoration of the New Jerusalem, and ALL of these 12 gems are anisotropic gems (gems that can show colorful patterns under pure light)
>Neither diamonds, rubies nor garnets are mentioned, despite the fact that this group of gems is very common. >The precious stones are generally considered to be diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, with all other gemstones being semi-precious. Because they are isotropic, when pure light passes through them, there is no beauty at all
>Of the 28 stones that are normally regarded as gemstones, only 16 are anisotropic. God chose the stones for the foundation of the new temple, avoiding stones that would lose their color, and instead chose stones that disperse light to produce brilliant rainbow effects, even before we understood the unique feature of these stones.
>"...and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald." (Revelation 4:3)

Who cares. It’s the same book that has retarded shit like the virginity test in duet 22:13. 43% of women don’t bleed the first time they fuck and so god kills innocent people because he doesn’t know how female anatomy works.

The bible wasn't written 2000 years ago, it's written by non-witnesses who didn't talk to any witnesses, badly mistranslated several times, added to, edited, and had books removed. It's not a perfect work by any means, and the evidence for that is the fact that there are 500 fucking versions of it and 500 fucking denominations who don't agree on specific points. It's a joke we have to keep talking about it when it's the same thing as picking a sports team.

That's because they've been slamming their pussy with anything penis-shaped for years though

There are thousands of copies of ancient manuscripts going back to 200 BC before Jesus was born in the form of scrolls, books, and fragments. All prove the Bible is still the same after 4 thousand years of compiling. There have been attempts of tampering but those were pointed out immediately and modern Bibles point them out. You can see these manuscripts online to this day.

Here are the Dead Sea Scrolls. The oldest known manuscripts of the OT going back 200 years before Christ.

The Dead Sea Scrolls(along with other discovered manuscripts and papyri down the ages) proved the Bible was unchanged the entire time. The DSS were discovered in 1946. By then, hundreds of Bibles going back centuries were already printed. The oldest complete being the Codex Amiatinus(8th Century) and Codex Vaticanus(4th Century).

Other manuscripts like Alexandrian Codex(400AD), Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus(450AD), Codex Sinaiticus(330AD), Codex Boernerianus(850AD),Codex Claromontanus(550), Codex Augiensis(850AD), Minuscule 365(12th century), Minuscule 442 (12th century), Lectionary 60(1021), Uncial 061(5th century), and more were around and used to make Bibles.

The DSS discovered in the 20th century proved all those manuscripts up above were copied from original unaltered copies when compared to the DSS which predated Christ by 200 years.
