Get In The Ark Before It Is Too Late!!!

[Confused Ape]

So, by your own words your have clearly stated that whoever wrote the book of Matthew was just a lying BS'er.

The topic of this particular conversation is whether or not English people wrote the Bible instead of just translating it. The fact that it was around before English people existed doesn't mean that anything in it is true but this is irrelevant to the topic which you introduced.

Fill in the blanks on manuscripts such as this: http://codexsinaiticus.org/en/manuscript.aspx.

I followed some of the links on that website.

What is Codex Sinaiticus?

Codex Sinaiticus, a manuscript of the Christian Bible written in the middle of the fourth century, contains the earliest complete copy of the Christian New Testament. The hand-written text is in Greek The New Testament appears in the original vernacular language (koine) and the Old Testament in the version, known as the Septuagint, that was adopted by early Greek-speaking Christians. In the Codex, the text of both the Septuagint and the New Testament has been heavily annotated by a series of early correctors.

The significance of Codex Sinaiticus for the reconstruction of the Christian Bible's original text, the history of the Bible and the history of Western book-making is immense.

Is that fragment the only text that survives?

History of Codex Sinaiticus

The Codex Sinaiticus is named after the Monastery of Saint Catherine, Mount Sinai, where it had been preserved until the middle of the nineteenth century. The principal surviving portion of the Codex, comprising 347 leaves, is now held by the British Library. A further 43 leaves are kept at the University Library in Leipzig. Parts of six leaves are held at the National Library of Russia in Saint Petersburg. Further portions remain at Saint Catherine’s Monastery.

There's enough of it to prove there was a Bible in Greek before English people existed.
