Hi,

I have a very specific question; worth a shot to try here: most of my research into the oldest Biblical manuscripts derives from sources pre-dating Y2K. Generally speaking, when researching the Bible, older is better; but that definitely is not always the case. Our translations of the Bible tend to get BETTER as time goes by--a fact which I find myself having to prove to non-Christians over and over again.

Does anyone know of any media (periodicals, publications, professors) which regularly publish about newly-uncovered findings into the original New Testament manuscripts? Such as new uncials, miniscules, etc. which may have come to light post-year-2000? i tried to Google this, but am not finding much of value that way.

Of particular interest, I'm trying to get to the bottom of what exactly this recent "discovery" is that happened with the Dead Sea Scrolls? I know it was determined that certain OT passages were written on cow and lamb parchment instead of camel (where cows and sheep were not present in the region...), but a) how do they know? And b) how do some people jump from that to "The Dead Sea Scrolls are a hoax"? The oldest manuscript of the Diatessaron was discovered in Persia but written in Greek (where Greek was not spoken in Persia in 5th century AD), yet no one has tried to call the Diatessaron a hoax for about 400 years now.

Just a little info?

The NIV was handled by a Homosexual Lesbian Activist, (Virginia Mollenkott) the English stylist

This is why homosexuality in this book has all but been removed.

All new bible versions NIV, NASB, ESV, etc follow the Greek Text Novum Testamentum Graece

This was created by five individuals behind closed doors, Kurt Aland, Barbara Aland, Carlo Maria Martini, Bruce Metzger, Johannes Karavidopoulos

Kurt Aland the leader on the Greek Text, divorced his wife Ingeborg Aland, and ran off with the college girl in his classroom and married her Barbara Aland, 22 years younger, (Adultery)

Carlo Maria Martini was a Roman Catholic Jesuit Cardinal, he supported homosexuality and same sex marriage.

Do you believe God used Adulterers and HomoSexual Supporters to preserve his Holy Words?

Hardly!

Yeah that doesnt sound too good. What bothers me is the way I feel they are sowing unbelief in people. For example Mark 16, they say it ends at verse 8, very abruptly out of thin air it just ends with disciples being scared, no great commission in the Gospel, nothing like that.
They put that in the foot notes, which then causes believers to doubt other verses as well. "Is this really in there?"
