Israel to Display the Dead Sea Scrolls on the Internet

Hi Carol & Suzie,

The interest will really ratchet up when the translations start appearing online, when words such as hell, eternal, etc. are nowhere to be found, can you imagine the potential for some real fireworks within religious circles, churches and even secular society?

Some fire and brimstone preachers may feel the heat being turned up on them!  ;)


Peace,

Joe

Hey Joe and Carol,
Did you know they are also displaying the Codex Sinaiticus on the internet?
They already have a few of the books posted.
You can  view them here: http://www.itsee.bham.ac.uk/projects/sinaiticus/
They also plan on posting them in English and German.

carol v:
 "In a dramatic new find in the 1970s, more pages were found in a blocked up room in St Catherine's."

That's a quote from the CODEX SINAITICUS page which plays into what Joe was pointing out about the increase in knowledge. Thanks for that link Suzie. The page really is beautiful. Can you imagine finding something like that -- dramatic is an understatement.

Yes, Joe, the publication of the scrolls could cause some fireworks for sure. That fire and brimstone thing is getting harder and harder to defend.

Kat:

I find this very interesting. I think that this unveiling of the manuscripts will be significant only to the scholarly types and we know that's not the church.  I can see how we might get fireworks when the church defends their man made traditions. They have embraced these falsehood far too long to let go of them now.  They are entrenched and the only thing that will overthrow that system is the return of Christ.

mercy, peace and love
Kat
