World’s Oldest Bible available online


The world’s oldest known Christian Bible is now online — but worryingly for Christians, the 1,600-year-old text doesn’t match the one you’ll find in churches today!
The British government bought most of the pages of the ancient manuscript in 1933,
Discovered in a monastery in the Sinai desert in Egypt more than 160 years ago, the handwritten Codex Sinaiticus includes two books that are not part of the official New Testament and at least seven books that are not in the Old Testament.

The New Testament books are in a different order, and include numerous handwritten corrections — some made as much as 800 years after the texts were written, according to Christian bible scholars who worked on the project of putting this worlds oldest Bible online. The changes range from the alteration of a single letter to the insertion of whole sentences.
And some familiar — very important — passages are missing, including verses dealing with the resurrection of Jesus, they said.
Juan Garces, the British Library project curator, said “it should be no surprise that the ancient text is not quite the same as the modern one, since the Bible has developed and changed over the years.

An official translation of the book has already been produced by Christians, but true to form they twist things already to decieve the weak and are adding verses not found in the Greek codex into the translation for English readers.

For example,
John 16:15, Mark 15:47, Matthew 24:35.
These verses are not in the codex, yet they put a translation for it. You can check the site and you will find that the Greek verse does not exist!!!

Even with this tampering (and Christians do love to tamper with what they consider to be the word of God don’t they?) scholars and lay people alike are beginning to find many problems for Christians where the Codex and the modern bibles differ, sometimes on matters of massive significance.
For Example,
Mark 1:1, the phrase “the son of God” is not found in the codex.
Codex: The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ,
NIV: The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
KJV: The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

John’s Trinity the verse 1 John 5:7, then the codex doesn’t mention the Trinity.
Codex:
7 For they that testify are three,
8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are one.

KJV:
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

The phrase “the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” is not found in the Codex!!!
If any Christian would like to read an English Translation of God’s last and final message to mankind, – The Quran, which has no changes since the time of its revelation they should contact their nearest Mosque or Islamic group.
