Full Framework: Literal Source Verification (LSV)

Literal Source Verification (LSV) is a cross-scriptural method for identifying objective, indisputable religious claims using only the literal content of primary sacred texts, verifiable historical evidence, and pure logic. LSV excludes all theological traditions, interpretive commentary, or inherited religious assumptions and focuses strictly on what is actually stated in the permitted sources.

Tanakh (Hebrew Bible)

Used in original Hebrew, independent of Christian Old Testament structure.

Christian Bibles

Any canon (Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Ethiopian) is valid as long as original source text is preserved.

Quran

Original Arabic only. English accepted only when faithfully cross-validated.

Verifiable Historical Records

Includes archaeological discoveries, manuscripts, and linguistic evidence.

Pure Logic

Used only when it supports or connects literal claims found in texts or proven history. No assumptions allowed.

Strict Exclusions

Theology or doctrines (Trinity, Hadith, Talmud, creeds)
Mystical interpretations (Kabbalah, Sufism, Gnosticism)
Religious commentaries or traditions
Political, cultural, or symbolic reinterpretations
Reframing text as myth, allegory, or metaphor (unless explicitly labeled that way in the source)

Language and Definitions Rule:

In LSV, definition is truth. Words must be understood based on their original meaning in original languages not modern, religious, or cultural reinterpretations.

Examples:

Muslim = “one who submits to God” (not “member of Islam”)
Christian = “follower of Christ as Messiah” (not “member of a church”)
Alien = “non-human being” (not “sci-fi creature”)

Factual Status of Source Content:

All permitted texts are treated as literally true unless directly contradicted by:

Another permitted source
Verifiable historical record
Literal logic grounded in observed facts

Nothing may be dismissed as “myth” or “allegory” unless explicitly stated in the source.

Claim and Validation Rules:

Clarity Required: No ambiguity, no soft qualifiers like “may,” “possibly,” or “some say.”
Scope Flexibility: Claims can use one or multiple sources. Silence in one source does not invalidate a multi-source claim.
Logic (Limited Use): Only allowed when tied to repeated scriptural patterns or proven facts.
Peer Validation: Required. Challenges must also follow LSV.

Purpose

LSV is for scholars, seekers, and truth-testers not theologians. It empowers cross-religious investigation based on scripture, history, and logic alone. It’s not here to persuade by belief but to expose what can be proven.
