What an exciting timeline we live in to have the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament, a 4th century version that had its Gospels and epistles spread across the world, is being made whole again — online.
quote:
preview of the Codex, which also has some parts of the Old Testament, will hit the Web on Thursday — the Book of Psalms and the Gospel of Mark.
quote:
By next July, the entire Codex will be available for free — along with transcription, translation and search functions — on the Internet.

Here is where you can actually read the codex online: http://www.codexsinaiticus.org/ love, juni

indeed jesus's tomb is empty - he must have survived the crucifixion...and i personally only now like proverbs and some psalms.... rest of the book is kindda ok. ofcourse the beatitudes. but the beautitudes was said over time by jesus.... not just on the mount , i think. scholars (or intellectual idiots) have ruined the meaning of gospel before Jesus's time during and after his time...These idiots will still hang around for a long time... metaphors became faith and true religion is an art as william blake so rightly said. it must be lived moment to moment and savored.

The bible has been revised and revised again and again thru the years that it seems next to impossible to choose which one would do the soul good. I have tried to learn about God growing up and nobody offered any help. So I chose to call myself Agnostic. Not sure if that's the correct name for someone who kind of believes in God...kind of. I haven't checked out those links yet, but I'm curious... I'll gander at them later.. thanks!
