Is Their Precious Sinaiticus Codex a Complete Forgery?

 

Tischendorf is connected to two "ancient" manuscripts, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, the fakes that gullible scholars embraced as the "purest and best sources."



I just got my Bruce Metzger books in the mail, which I wanted for the second edition of The Bible Book: The KJV Reborn for Those Who Love the Word of God.

How could anyone burn a Bible based on the oldest and best and purest manuscripts, Metzger wondered. Aha. He fell for it too.

I have known a lot of frauds, which may be why I spotted Tischendorf so early - with the help of others who saw through his obvious lies.

The entire international printing industry for new Bibles with strange and ever-changing texts is based on one self-promoting salesman - Tischendorf. 

 Tischendorf gave Sinaiticus the Hebrew letter Aleph, above, making it first on the list of New Testament sources, B for Vaticanus, making it second. Clever boy.


Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are deceptively called the oldest and best sources, but they disagree with each other, even though they are supposedly from the Alexandrian, Egyptian group of manuscripts. Readers may recall that David Valleskey wanted to "spoil the Egyptians" (borrowing from Fuller Seminary) and I countered, "The Israelites took the Egyptians' precious metals and gems, not their garbage."

Valleskey is a sworn, published enemy of the Chief Article of Christianity. Herman Otten promoted and sold this gem of Fuller Pietism and Enthusiasm.


One version is that Tischendorf saved Sinaiticus from being burned by the scholars in an effort to keep the St. Catharine's library warm. Sinaiticus is parchment, skin. How many people burn leather to warm a room? How many scholars burn the "oldest" manuscript to heat their tootsies?

Sinaiticus is 1500 OR MORE years old, and yet it was pure white, like new, when first described by two different men. It was artificially aged later.

In contrast, the KJV New Testament Greek text is in harmony with 95% of what we have, thousands and thousands of examples.
