"the Beast" of Revelations isn't the usual 666, but 616.
Maybe that's why they were thrown in the dump.
One could wonder if this may give someone a chance to rewrite the Bible, perhaps in a more "modern" light.

A myth. There aren't any "lost Christian gospels."
God moved Christ's apostles and their attendants to record and to finish His word (John 16:12-13; 1 Corinthians 13:8-10; Hebrews 1:1-2; 2:1-4). The church received and acknowledged that Word.
If the apostles didn't author or sponsor it, and the church didn't acknowledge it, at best it may be a peripheral and helpful writing (like Augustine's Confessions, or Calvin's Institutes), but it isn't a "Christian gospel" -- as if it's fundamentally going to change the image of Jesus we have from the existing, abundantly-attested records.

Didn't some of the translations have the 666 as 616 anyway? I remember seeing that somewhere before.
I see that they didn't say when these would be published. I hope this isn't another situation like the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Excellent. Truly awesome.
