Drich Wrote:Nice try, but no. The Vaticanus codex is one high used example of A (orginal text) Bible. but is not the only one. We may not have any older complete (OT and NT) bibles avaiable but we do have indivisual manuscripts of indivisual books that are as old if not older than what is found in that particual codex. Outside of the R/C Church Christianity is not bound by any specific codex or version of the bible. So to say this codex is not consistant with your particular version of the bible therefore the bible is flawed is a logical fallacy. For again not all bibles not all versions/translations conform to the single source you have listed.
It took us a while, but you finally admitted the Bible has been edited. You may have said it implicitly, but I'll take it.
I just find this whole concept of humanity being a piece of scum (which was the whole plan all along, otherwise there's no need for Jesus) and needing redemption which can be read about in a book edited so much to be rather tedious and ludicrous. Really? My 'soul' can only be saved through a procedure that is found within the pages of a book written by fallible men, which then has undergone absolute chaos in translation, which produced 30 000+ ways of explaining the truth (note, SINGULAR) and somehow this is all ok to you?! How can you possibly say any of this has been 'divinely inspired'?
