  "For those who believe the Bible is the inerrant, unaltered word of God, there will be some very uncomfortable questions to answer. It shows there have been thousands of alterations to today's bible. The Codex, probably the oldest Bible we have, also has books which are missing from the Authorised Version that most Christians are familiar with today - and it does not have crucial verses relating to the Resurrection."

  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_ne…

  "The Codex - and other early manuscripts - do not mention the ascension of Jesus into heaven, and omit key references to the Resurrection, which the Archbishop of Canterbury has said is essential for Christian belief."

  word code comes from the word codex
  gospel of thomas and judas relate to chakra
  when you were one you became two this is your twin soul twin flame twin ray when you're in the light what will you do, the light is the light/magenta chakra creative ray i think this also relates to sacred geometry of you being able to create you're own reality, ufo's in the bible talks about a wheel within a wheel this is when you make yourself zeropoint matter and antimatter merge becoming a wheel the one, the other wheel is your twin soul, and if you are orange/magenta no ego you can enter the spiritual realm the boundless realm where anything can happen, i think these might be alternate universes. i think it's like a programming language you learn to activate and create thinks using imagination, words/thoughts, but you have to learn the golden rule the unniversal rule do onto others as you would want it done onto you.

  OK so it looks like this only applies to the New Testament. The Septuagint and other Old Testament manuscripts existed hundreds of years before. So we are only dealing with New Testament writings here.

  For starters, this is not the earliest Biblical manuscript, it is merely an early collection of Biblical books that together make up a "Bible". The earliest manuscripts, which were copied in Rome and Jerusalem and pre-date this Codex by a couple hundred years, were books such as the four commonly known Gospels, as well as the letters of Paul, Peter and a few other apostles. If there are contradictions between those letters (which were not canonized into a complete Bible, or collection of books, until the council of Nicaea in 323), then it is the fault of the scribes who compiled and wrote the Codex.

  "But the picture is complicated. Some argue that another early Bible, the Codex Vaticanus, is in fact older. And there are other earlier texts of almost all the books in the bible, though none pulled together into a single volume."

  The bottom line here is that there are no credible translations that have fundamental differences in content. One sees immediately upon reading the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John that they do not contain the exact same information, although there are no contradictions (for example, Matthew, John and Luke go into more detail about Jesus' experience on the cross than Mark).

  Even today, we have many translations: no fewer than 30 commonly used, and that is only in English. The important matter here though is that they do not differ from one another in the meat of them, the bones of the content – even if one version says fruit and another says fig. Savvy?

  "Other differences concern how Jesus behaved. In one passage of the Codex, Jesus is said to be "angry" as he healed a leper, whereas the modern text records him as healing with "compassion"."

  And Jesus said: "Goddamn leper.., stand up, i got a crowd waiting on me to see me do tricks with bread and fish and shit...sjeeeezz"

  • Jesus saying, "jheeezz," is like you saying, "jaaahhh."– blaw
