World's Oldest Bible Going Online
99luftballon writes "The British Museum is putting online the remaining fragments of the world's oldest Bible. The Codex Sinaiticus dates to the fourth century BCE and was discovered in the 19th century. Very few people have seen it due to its fragile state — that and the fact that parts of it are in collections scattered across the globe. It'll give scholars and those interested their first chance to take a look. However, I've got a feeling that some people won't be happy to see it online, since it makes no mention of the resurrection, which is a central part of Christian belief."On Thursday the Book of Psalms and the Gospel According to Mark will go live at the Codex Sinaiticus site. The plan is to have all the material up, with translations and commentaries, a year from now.
First comment on the oldest bible. Now that's something !
The Wise adapts himself to the world. The Fool adapts the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the Fool.
Well, I'll assume that the trolls won't actually READ the Bible, but they might read this Cliff's Notes version: Don't Know Much About The Bible
aw... come on guys, laugh at this!
Possibly a bit off-topic, but, FWIW, there's this prophet guy, Nephi, in the Book of Mormon, that records a vision of the primary events of the New Testament in what would be the early 5th century BC.
FWIW, I believe it.
Computer memory is just fancy paper, CPUs just fancy pens with fancy erasers; the 'net is just a fancy backyard fence.
So how did the creation story (both of them) come to be in it, because if God actually told someone then that would also be in the Bible too. No?
NT= No Thanks?
This is the sig that says NI (again)
