and here i'd of thought those caves would have been licked clean by now... and here i'd of thought those caves would have been licked clean by now...New translations discovered seem to say “Trump’s fault”.
Let me know when they find Jeremiah’s Deed.................
Anyone interested in making it possible for our descendants to experience a similar thrill 5,000 years from now, please FReepmail me.
Let me guess, we’ll find that Jesus was Crucified at Trump Tower in Jerusalem because Trump accused him of spreading “fake gospel”? /sarc
We assume they are all about the Twelve Prophets and similar scrolls we know about.
What if a surprising new find is made?
I just heard on a discussion on the radio about how the inclusion and exclusion of books in the various Bibles took place. Around 300 CE the books like Enoch were taken out despite being commonly accepted at one time.
There are seven books in the Catholic Bible — Baruch, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Sirach, Tobit and Wisdom — that are not included in the Protestant version (or the Jewish one. These books are referred to as the deuterocanonical books.
Over hundreds of years, the Jews accepted the ones known as the 24 books in the Hebrew Holy Scriptures known as the Tanach (Torah,Prophets,Writings). Called the Old Testament by non-Jews.
Interesting fact in the discussion I heard: the Bible is now “a closed book.” “Even if a provable new find of a further book is made, it cannot be accepted in the closed Bible.”
That’s the part I thought of when I saw new finds were possible. Probably just more variations on the earlier finds, but we don’t know for sure, do we?
10,000 years, eh?
That predates any abrahamic time table, and some asiatic ones, too!!
Still waitng for an intact Roman library to be excavated that contains the History of the Etruscans.
I’m reminded about reading excerpts from new agencies 60 years claiming how the dead sea scroll find would invalidate the Bible. Only to find out the scrolls augmented the Word. Liberal outlets now will do the same. As what Solomon said: “there’s nothing new under the sun.”
“Kilroy Was Here!”
Typical scientism Bovine Scatology (BS).
It might be precisely 10,500 years old give or take a year or 10,000, but current scientists have no credible way of knowing that, and most likely, never will. I'm willing to accept the notion the scrolls are around 2000 years old based on the archaeological and known historical context.
