Modern Scientific Discoveries Verify the Holy Bible (Holy Scriptures) and the Christian Greek Scriptures and the Ancient Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) Classics are Accurate
How do Modern Scientific Discoveries Verify the Holy Bible (Holy Scriptures) and the Christian Greek Scriptures and the Ancient Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) Classics are Accurate?
Many believe that the book, the Holy Bible (Holy Scriptures) is old and obsolete. Many also believe that many ancient Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) Classics are outdated and no longer practical. These misconceptions could not be further from the truth. In my 766 page book titled ‘The ‘Mystical’ TCM Triple Energizer’. Its Elusive Location and Morphology Defined’, I show that very recent scientific discoveries were known about and discussed in the Holy Bible (Holy Scriptures) and also in many ancient Traditional Chinese Medical Classics.
These discoveries include the detection of the very original organ structure formed during embryogenesis, now known as the Primo Vascular System (PVS). Further, reference to DNA is made in the Holy Bible (Holy Scriptures). DNA contains the immensely exacting instructions and directions required for an organism to develop, survive and prosper, and later reproduce. The Holy Bible (Holy Scriptures) discusses the DNA ‘substance’ that engenders a human life form, thanks to the comprehensive ‘book’ wherein all the ‘members were written’ with nothing ‘lacking’ in the final life-form.
Below are excerpts from my book The ‘Mystical’ TCM Triple Energizer’. Its Elusive Location and Morphology Defined which confirm that when it comes to scientific authenticity, the Holy Bible (Holy Scriptures) was definitely inspired by God’s Holy Spirit, and thousands of years ahead of its time. The illuminating Book The ‘Mystical’ TCM Triple Energizer’. Its Elusive Location and Morphology Defined can be purchased by clicking the ‘BUY NOW’ button at the bottom of this page. So please purchase the book and be truly amazed by the wisdom and scientific understanding that was comprehended by the authors of these ancient classical writings.
1.2 Functions of the Viscera and the Bowels According to TCM
In the article entitled ‘Cultural Reference for Increased Understanding of the San Jiao’ regarding the anatomical location of the San Jiao components, the author, Glenn Grossman (5), notes that TCM often compares the viscera and the bowels in the body to that of twelve upright officials in an empire, with each one having an important dedicated role. He summarizes by stating, ‘These twelve officials should not fail to assist one another.’
It is very interesting to note that many of the medical and scientific concepts reported in ancient TCM theory exactly mirror concepts mentioned in the Holy Bible. It is a pivotal concept throughout the TCM scriptures that for good health, each of the organs must cooperate with every other organ and work harmoniously and that each organ and its ascribed function is critical for the health and well-being of the entire body and that no single organ should be minimalized. Note what the following biblical scripture from 1 Corinthians 12:12–26 states about the importance of cooperation of all the body parts.
1.3 Primary Scriptures Show that All the Individual Parts of the Body Coexist with the Rest
At 1 Corinthians 12:12–26, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (6) says:
12 For just as the body is one but has many members, and all the members of that body, although being many, are one body, so also is the Christ. 13 For truly by one spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink one spirit. 14 For the body, indeed, is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot should say: ‘Because I am not a hand, I am no part of the body,’ it is not for this reason no part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say: ‘Because I am not an eye, I am no part of the body,’ it is not for this reason no part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If it were all hearing, where would the smelling be? 18 But now God has set the members in the body, each one of them, just as he pleased. 19 If they were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But now they are many members, yet one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand: ‘I have no need of you’; or, again, the head to the feet: ‘I have no need of YOU.’ 22 But much rather is it the case that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary, 23 and the parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, these we surround with more abundant honor, and so our unseemly parts have the more abundant comeliness, 24 whereas our comely parts do not need anything. Nevertheless, God compounded the body, giving honor more abundant to the part which had a lack, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the other members suffer with it; or if a member is glorified, all the other members rejoice with it.
1.4 The Triple Burner: Where Does It Start, and Where Does It End?
So let’s start from the very beginning. That’s a very good place to start. I feel like I should have quotation marks around that! Regarding the nuts and bolts of the Triple Energizer, the 31st Difficult Issue on page 347 of Unschuld’s (1) translation of the Nan Ching states, ‘The Triple Burner: how is it supplied and what does it generate? Where does it start and where does it end? And where, in general, regulated? Can that be known?’
In the commentaries on the 31st Difficult Issue on pages 352–353 of Unschuld’s (1) translation of the Nan Ching, Hsü Ta-ch’un states:
The ‘Ku k’ung lun’ of the Su[-wen states]: ‘The influences received by the Burner are gushing dregs and steaming liquids. The essential and subtle of these are transformed and flow upward into the vessel lung. There they are transformed into blood. Nothing is more valuable concerning the maintenance of life in one’s body than the . Hence, it alone may move through hidden conduits. It is named ‘constructive influences’. …… The Su[-wen treatise] ‘Ling lan mi tien lun’ states: ‘The Triple Burner is the official responsible for the maintenance of the ditches. The waterways emerge from there.’ If one takes all these textual passages into consideration, the meaning becomes even more obvious’. (Emphasis is mine)
The contents of the above citation will be discussed in detail throughout the book. However, note that the ‘essential and subtle portions’ of the liquids and grains (food and drink) from the Stomach are sent upwards to the Lungs (to be oxygenated) and become the ‘constructive influences’—that is, the life-giving and life-sustaining blood and other fluids. The text categorically states, ‘Nothing is more valuable concerning the maintenance of life in one’s body than the .’ Note how this sentiment agrees with the Holy Bible (6) again. At Leviticus 17:14, it says, ‘For the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood by the soul in it. Consequently I said to the sons of Israel: “You must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh, because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood.”’
Because there are currently 33 recognized different defined blood groups and over six hundred different blood group antigens, due to the subsequent combinations and permutations, no two people on earth have identical blood, and our blood is as individual as our fingerprints. As our Shen resides in our Heart and permeates the entire body through the blood in our vascular system, it is critical that our blood is kept vital and clean to ensure that optimal wellness pervades our very soul.
In the Holy Bible, the word soul is derived from the word nephesh in the Hebrew scriptures and psyche in the Christian Greek scriptures. Both of these words mean ‘a breathing thing’. Nephesh, for example, occurs over seven hundred fifty times in the Old Testament. For example, in the Holy Bible (6), Genesis 2:7 says, ‘And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.’ In the Holy Scriptures, death or the disappearance of the soul is described as the breath ceasing from an individual, as can be seen in the following two verses from Genesis. Genesis 35:17–18 says, ’17 But so it was that while she had difficulty in making the delivery the midwife said to her: “Do not be afraid, for you will have this son also.” 18 And the result was that as her soul was going out (because she died) she called his name Ben-o’ni; but his father called him Benjamin.’ Thus, it can be shown that a living being is a breathing being.
33.63 The Kidneys Owe Their High Regard in the Bible Partly to the Fact That They Are Embedded in Fat
Regarding the fact that kidney fat of livestock is of such high purity, the term ‘fat of the kidneys’ was chosen by God as a proverbial term for surpassing excellence. Concerning this matter, the Bible encyclopedia titled Aid to Bible Understanding (117), on page 991, states: As with all the organs of the body, the kidneys were directly designed by Jehovah God the Creator. (Ps. 139:13) In sacrificial animals, the fat around the kidneys was considered especially choice, and was specifically mentioned as something that was to be made to smoke on the altar along with the kidneys in communion sacrifices (Lev. 3: 10, 11; 9:19, 20), sin offerings (Lev. 4:8, 9; 8:14, 16; 9:10) and guilt offerings, (Lev. 7:1, 4) In the installation of the priesthood the kidneys of the ram of installation were first waved and then burned on the altar. (Ex. 29:22, 24, 25; Lev. 8:25, 27, 28) In this significance of choiceness, Moses spoke of Jehovah as feeding his people Israel with the ‘kidney fat of wheat’ . . . Deut. 32:14.
33.65 How the Kidney’s Connection with the ‘Gate of Life’ Is Described in the Holy Scriptures
With consideration to the Bible’s viewpoint on the kidneys in association with the TCM’s gate of life, The Holy Scriptures Jubilee Bible 2000 version (118), at Psalms 139:13–16, states:
13 For thou hast possessed my kidneys: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works, and that, my soul knows right well. 15 My body was not hid from thee, even though I was made in secret and brought together in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which were then formed, without lacking one of them.
Interestingly, the Holy Scriptures, when discussing the embryological development within the womb, discusses the ‘substance’ that was to become a human life form, thanks to the ‘book’ wherein all the ‘members were written’. This obviously refers to the genetic code encrypted in the DNA, which constitute ‘the original influences which man has received from father and mother,’ as discussed in the eighth Difficult Issue of the Nan Ching.
33.66 Is the PVS ‘Knitting Machine’ Responsible for the Gate of Life?
I found even more fascinating the rendering of many translations of Psalms 139:13 of the Holy Scriptures. The New International Version Bible (119) stated, ‘For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.’ The New Living Translation (120) stated, ‘You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.’ The Bible Revised Standard Version (121) states, ‘For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother’s womb.’ Remember, I previously discussed the critical initial formation of the PVS during embryogenesis (7), where it is discussed that the ‘proliferation of the meridians takes place ahead of proliferation of any other organs, such as the blood vessels and the nervous system’.
The book (7) said, ‘Embryo development follows the following steps: the step for the formation of the primo vessel blast cell occurs 7–8 h after fertilization; the step for primordial primo vessel occurs 10 h after fertilization; the step for the formation of primitive primo lumens occurs 15 h after fertilization; and the final step for the completion of the primo lumens occurs 20–28 h after fertilization’. The quote concluded, ‘The fact that the proliferation of the PVS precedes the formation of other structures suggests the PVS plays an important role during development of an organism.’
Thus, as stated above, the ‘proliferation of the meridians takes place ahead of proliferation of any other organs’. What are the PVS meridians made from? The PVS meridians are made from very thin hollow threads. Presumably, the PVS hollow threads appear to be differentiated and processed into an intricate and delicately intertwined structure that allows a unique human being to be manufactured from the donated DNA from the two parents. So when the New Living Translation (120) version of Psalms 139:13 stated ‘You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb’ that sounds like what modern science is corroborating.
