@ZMA_831 The scribes job was to write it down word for word. When historians, archaeologists, theologians and linguists compare texts of ancient scripture copied by hand multiple times over the centuries, until the printing press was invented, the accuracy is very high, so high you can rely on copied Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic texts from later centuries as accurate. When ever they find a ancient manuscript, the septuagint in this case, or the dead sea scrolls in other cases, they find the scribes copied accurately word for word. Any discrepancies are very very very small and is often put in modern bibles, but has no bearing on the overall text at all.

The last statement doesn’t necessarily have to be true, though. It being the oldest surviving one doesn’t mean all others were copied from THIS exact one.
@bengiyardimli1925 That's an odd way of thinking. If this is the oldest known manuscript, meaning nothing we have predates it then the other versions must match or be frauds. The newer versions had to come from a primary. This version being the oldest would have to be the primary.

@bernusdellus. Oddly enough, the normal practice is to wear gloves for paper manuscripts and none for vellum, the oils from your skin can only do serious damage to the former. Gloves can often make readers more clumsy and damage the work, so most librarians try to minimise their use.

Vellum is not normal paper. The oil from your fingers that would typically harm paper, actually helps preserve the longevity of animal skin pages (vellum) by helping it avoid becoming too brittle and crack.
@bernusdellus Its vellum ( treated animal skin) not paper. If stored properly it can last thousands of years and is much more durable than paper. Note how fresh and clear it still appears after 1600 years.
Handlers of antique paper no longer wear gloves, because it's easier to tear pages while turning them if you don't have the tactile sensation of your finger tips
Highly unlikely. Paleographic and computer-based dating, along with the Alexandrian-text type the codex was written in, strongly suggests it was written in the 4th century AD. @@joshportie

/* why was it written 400 years */ That's like asking why was any book copied. Its a non-question. The Codex Sinaiticus is oldest known surviving complete New Testament. It does not mean it was the original New Testament. All manuscripts are copied. Every one we have today are copies of the original. It is however not the oldest surviving NT manuscript. The oldest manuscript we have today is P52 from the early first half of the 2nd century (120 A.D). Oldest manuscript from antiquity in fact.
It's age is far from being documented. The word I would use to describe the claim as to its age is "alleged". Not one thing about it has been proven to be ancient.
To say that Codex Sinaiticus is the Oldest ancestor of all the Bibles we have is very misleading. Unfortunately many scholars from Wescott and Hort after them, bought into this resulting in the ever changing Nestle Aland. I am a TR advocate, the textual basis of the KJV.
The authentic NT gospel was used and worn then recorded. And you would not expect to find an old pristine copy but you would expect to find the ones that were concidered tainted and not used by serious early Christians.

That is some mighty white parchment for being 1700 years old. And that flaw he mentions, the worm hole, that he wrote around it tells me that the paper is much older than the writing, which is weird since I doubt early Bible scribes wpuld have used flawed paper for scripture. That it was written around it says it is a later writing.
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews I do, in fact. A study was done on it by a man named David Sorenson, who gives numerous reasons why he believes it isnt authentic. Maybe not a fraud, but at the time of its "discovery" by Tischendorf, another biblical scholar named Constantine Simonides claimed to have written it as a gift to, I believe, the Tzar of Russia, and subsequently ended up at the monastery at Sinai, where Tischendorf acquired it.
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews I dont think the fraud was on the part of Simonides, it was on the part of Tischendorf. There is a reason Sinaiticus has never been chemically dated, either the paper or the ink.
Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years? The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. In this world, the great fertility of atheism can be explained by the fact that there is no main opponent of critics of the Bible - the Church. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist. Find *"The Mystery about the Church of Christ"* video on UA-cam. The video reveals the prophecy of the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the End of the World.

I've examined hundreds of ancient manuscripts, I can't ever look at this one without suspicion. Everything seems wrong about it--the number of columns is wrong for the time period. The white and supple pages should have become yellow and brittle by now. The number of correctors allegedly at work for centuries still failed to detect and correct hundreds of obvious instances of homoioteleuton (full line omissions). There are modern Greek words and Latinized forms in Hermas and Barnabas, which don't match quotations by the early writers. Tischendorf's story of it's discovery has been dismissed as a work of fiction. Etc.! They really need to sample the ink--including some of the alleged correctors. It may be as old as they say, but to me, too many red flags that scream "potential forgery" to not investigate further.

We westerners severely underestimate ancient oral cultures and their ability to simply just remember things. It is perfectly reasonable to believe that stories were passed down accurately relating events. It’s perfectly reasonable not to believe it, of course. But it’s perfectly reasonable to believe it. The strangeness of a thing (like a story transmitted over centuries) is not an argument against its veracity. Just a statement regarding its potential. If I’m correct, you’re trying to make a point that the stories are unreliable based on the distance in time between the events and their recordings in this manuscript, right? I am just responding to that idea with my comment.
The church wrote and compiled the Bible during hundreds of years of persecution. It wasn't as if they could just hang out in Jerusalem and write it all down while the Pharisees and the Romans left them to their own devices.
So there you have it, the Bible was complied 4 centuries later by an unknown author in a language (Koine Greek) which was not even spoken by Jesus (Aramaic). People need to open their eyes and understand the possibility of change. Also learn about "Hadith Science", this was the only true way to preserve history before carbon dating
Christ, Jesus lived in an Aramaic village which was an area of Greek spoken Roman province. So obviously the Gospels would be written in Koine Greek to reach more audiences. That's why it's called New Testament and every Bibles always have 27 of New Testament books. Always with 4 Gospels within (Luke, Mark, Matthew, John).
Bible has three original language. Hebrew: majority of the Old Testament books Aramaic: Old Testament (only 1-2 books. Ezra is an example) Greek: New Testament (27 books). For translation copies: Greek: Septuagint (Greek version of Old Testament and the Original New Testament), used by Eastern Orthodox Church. Latin: Vulgate (Latin version of Old Testament and New Testament), used by Roman Catholic Church. Aramaic (Syriac alphabet): Peshitta (Aramaic Syriac version of Old Testament and New Testament. Same like Septuagint and Vulgate), mostly used by Maronite Catholic Church. Ge'ez: Ethiopian Bible (Ge'ez version of Old Testament and New Testament. Again same like Peshitta, Vulgate, and Septuagint), used mostly by Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox Church. All translations are directly from the original languages of the Bible, meaning the original book. And for Septuagint is only Old Testament because New Testament was originally written in Greek.
Wrong! The oldest and most complete is its sister codex, the Codex Vaticanus now stored in the Vatican library. The Codex Sinaiticus was only found in the St. Catherine Monastery in Alexandria, Egypt around early 1800s by a British citizen. It is now stored in the British library
Even after burning of books killings of opponents, the word Muhammed still mentioned in the bible old Testament in Hebrew, not only on the omitted books. Mem = מַ Het = חֲ Mem = מַ Dalet = דִּ֑ Majestic Plural = ים same in Arabic MHMD / محمد =arabic (Name of our Prophet *peace be upon him*) Its clearly MHMD Hebrew letters without Vowels. The Original Hebrew Bible was written without Vowels . Hebrew word " מַחֲמַדִּ֑ים" it says: MHMD+ Majestic plural pronunciation :ma-ḥă-mad-dîm; (Noun) In Song of Solomon 5:16 the verse in Hebrew transliteration is: ḥikkōw mamṯaqqîm wəḵullōw maḥămaddîm zeh ḏōwḏî wəzeh rê‘î, bənōwṯ yərūšālim חִכּוֹ֙ מַֽמְתַקִּ֔ים וְכֻלּ֖וֹ מַחֲמַדִּ֑ים זֶ֤ה דוֹדִי֙ וְזֶ֣ה רֵעִ֔י בְּנ֖וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ where maḥămaddîm is translated as "[is] lovely". But normally, in Hebrew, when the suffix "im" is added to a word, it's the use of majestic plural, that is giving respect to the entity referred to by the set of characters preceding "im". Just like "Eloh-im" (giving respect to Eloah).

Why do you lie? Most scholars agree the codex Vaticanus is slightly older and more complete and thus possibly the more accurate. However the codex Sianiticus does have a slightly more complete New testament. But the important point is when you mislead people everything you say become suspect.
Erroroneous title. What makes Codex Sinaiticus unique is it is the oldest NT codex that is COMPLETE. We have older NT manuscripts...as much as 200 years.
Because the words are in ancient language. They weren’t just speaking 1500s language, I mean VERY OLD language. Like 300AD language. It's discovered in Mount Sinai around 1800s I think. Also in the Bible, Moses found the burning bush below mount Sinai
How do you defend your argument that there is no distortion in new testament in 300 years? The oldest one is from 4th century and for me, personally, it is opposed the Abrahamic monotheism faith.
Dean Burgon thoroughly refutes this manuscript, suggesting that it has survived so long as nobody wanted to read it due to the multitude of errors and omissions. It was actually found in a waste paper basket.

The wearing of gloves makes it harder to feel the pages, and can make tearing of pages easier, especially if the documents are already fragile.

Vellum is not normal paper. The oil from your fingers that would typically harm paper, actually helps preserve the longevity of animal skin pages (vellum) by helping it avoid becoming too brittle and crack.
Thanks. I didn’t know that
Thank you for straightening that out

@bernusdellus Its vellum ( treated animal skin) not paper. If stored properly it can last thousands of years and is much more durable than paper. Note how fresh and clear it still appears after 1600 years.
Maybe that's because it's only 150 years old?

That's like asking why was any book copied. Its a non-question. The Codex Sinaiticus is oldest known surviving complete New Testament. It does not mean it was the original New Testament. All manuscripts are copied. Every one we have today are copies of the original.
It is however not the oldest surviving NT manuscript. The oldest manuscript we have today is P52 from the early first half of the 2nd century (120 A.D). Oldest manuscript from antiquity in fact.
It's age is far from being documented. The word I would use to describe the claim as to its age is "alleged". Not one thing about it has been proven to be ancient.
Yea but that manuscript is the size of my credit card 💀💀
We actually have a manuscript fragment of Mark from 80-105 AD.
Wasn’t it “borrowed” from the Sinai monastery and never returned?
To say that Codex Sinaiticus is the Oldest ancestor of all the Bibles we have is very misleading. Unfortunately many scholars from Wescott and Hort after them, bought into this resulting in the ever changing Nestle Aland. I am a TR advocate, the textual basis of the KJV.
Yet there is no mention of the resurrection or the trinity in it
No just no mention of the trinity lmao
The authentic NT gospel was used and worn then recorded. And you would not expect to find an old pristine copy but you would expect to find the ones that were concidered tainted and not used by serious early Christians.

Very White pages, sign it is not ancient at all. It was a replica written by simonides, as a gift to the Tsar if Russia, but was imperfect so instead was taken to st Catherine's monastary. Simonides had marked pages with mistakes with initials. "Experts" ignored the discrepancies.

That is some mighty white parchment for being 1700 years old. And that flaw he mentions, the worm hole, that he wrote around it tells me that the paper is much older than the writing, which is weird since I doubt early Bible scribes wpuld have used flawed paper for scripture. That it was written around it says it is a later writing.
Do you think it to be a fraud?
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews I do, in fact. A study was done on it by a man named David Sorenson, who gives numerous reasons why he believes it isnt authentic. Maybe not a fraud, but at the time of its "discovery" by Tischendorf, another biblical scholar named Constantine Simonides claimed to have written it as a gift to, I believe, the Tzar of Russia, and subsequently ended up at the monastery at Sinai, where Tischendorf acquired it.
@@ukulelemike it’s fascinating. The problem is whether or not there was actually fraud, the whole thing seems shady.

Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years?
The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. In this world, the great fertility of atheism can be explained by the fact that there is no main opponent of critics of the Bible - the Church. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist.

Wipe your behind with it
I've examined hundreds of ancient manuscripts, I can't ever look at this one without suspicion. Everything seems wrong about it--the number of columns is wrong for the time period. The white and supple pages should have become yellow and brittle by now. The number of correctors allegedly at work for centuries still failed to detect and correct hundreds of obvious instances of homoioteleuton (full line omissions). There are modern Greek words and Latinized forms in Hermas and Barnabas, which don't match quotations by the early writers. Tischendorf's story of it's discovery has been dismissed as a work of fiction. Etc.! They really need to sample the ink--including some of the alleged correctors. It may be as old as they say, but to me, too many red flags that scream "potential forgery" to not investigate further.

In other words, it was written and assembled centuries after any living eye witness.
We westerners severely underestimate ancient oral cultures and their ability to simply just remember things. It is perfectly reasonable to believe that stories were passed down accurately relating events. It’s perfectly reasonable not to believe it, of course. But it’s perfectly reasonable to believe it. The strangeness of a thing (like a story transmitted over centuries) is not an argument against its veracity. Just a statement regarding its potential. If I’m correct, you’re trying to make a point that the stories are unreliable based on the distance in time between the events and their recordings in this manuscript, right? I am just responding to that idea with my comment.
This is just the complete New Testament. We have manuscripts of individual parts going back to 125 AD, still not great though
@@andrewaguas3672But even that is just what we've discovered, the source documents would be even older.

Why hasn't the parchment oxidised - gone golden - IF it is as old as you say it is - it's as WHITE as the day it was forged !
It is made out of skins
So there you have it, the Bible was complied 4 centuries later by an unknown author in a language (Koine Greek) which was not even spoken by Jesus (Aramaic). People need to open their eyes and understand the possibility of change. Also learn about "Hadith Science", this was the only true way to preserve history before carbon dating
Christ, Jesus lived in an Aramaic village which was an area of Greek spoken Roman province.
So obviously the Gospels would be written in Koine Greek to reach more audiences.
That's why it's called New Testament and every Bibles always have 27 of New Testament books. Always with 4 Gospels within (Luke, Mark, Matthew, John).
Bible has three original language.
Hebrew: majority of the Old Testament books
Aramaic: Old Testament (only 1-2 books. Ezra is an example)
Greek: New Testament (27 books).
For translation copies:
Greek: Septuagint (Greek version of Old Testament and the Original New Testament), used by Eastern Orthodox Church.
Latin: Vulgate (Latin version of Old Testament and New Testament), used by Roman Catholic Church.
Aramaic (Syriac alphabet): Peshitta (Aramaic Syriac version of Old Testament and New Testament. Same like Septuagint and Vulgate), mostly used by Maronite Catholic Church.
Ge'ez: Ethiopian Bible (Ge'ez version of Old Testament and New Testament. Again same like Peshitta, Vulgate, and Septuagint), used mostly by Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox Church.
All translations are directly from the original languages of the Bible, meaning the original book.
And for Septuagint is only Old Testament because New Testament was originally written in Greek.
@@andridefian_false. Every translation says something different.
Wrong!
The oldest and most complete is its sister codex, the Codex Vaticanus now stored in the Vatican library.
The Codex Sinaiticus was only found in the St. Catherine Monastery in Alexandria, Egypt around early 1800s by a British citizen. It is now stored in the British library
Codex Sinaiticus was written in 1840 by Constantine Simonides. When will it and the Vaticanus be tested to find out how old they are?
Even after burning of books killings of opponents, the word Muhammed still mentioned in the bible old Testament in Hebrew, not only on the omitted books.
Mem = מַ
Het = חֲ
Mem = מַ
Dalet = דִּ֑
Majestic Plural = ים
same in Arabic MHMD / محمد =arabic (Name of our Prophet *peace be upon him*)
Its clearly MHMD Hebrew letters without Vowels.
The Original Hebrew Bible was written without Vowels .
Hebrew word " מַחֲמַדִּ֑ים" it says: MHMD+ Majestic plural
pronunciation :ma-ḥă-mad-dîm; (Noun)
In Song of Solomon 5:16
the verse in Hebrew transliteration is:
ḥikkōw mamṯaqqîm wəḵullōw maḥămaddîm zeh ḏōwḏî wəzeh rê‘î, bənōwṯ yərūšālim
חִכּוֹ֙ מַֽמְתַקִּ֔ים וְכֻלּ֖וֹ מַחֲמַדִּ֑ים זֶ֤ה דוֹדִי֙ וְזֶ֣ה רֵעִ֔י בְּנ֖וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
where maḥămaddîm is translated as "[is] lovely". But normally, in Hebrew, when the suffix "im" is added to a word, it's the use of majestic plural, that is giving respect to the entity referred to by the set of characters preceding "im". Just like "Eloh-im" (giving respect to Eloah).
“Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.”

About the Trinity, you don't need to use that word to prove that Jesus is God the Son, and that God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit are but ONE God, the one and only. All you have to do is identify the functions that God has. The first is that of the Father, He adopted us all. The second is that of the Son, the perfect example of how a man should be, and our only way to salvation (if you want something done right (the prophets before Jesus), then do it yourself (Jesus)). As for the Holy Spirit, we actually have been blessed with it all, because we are all able to do good.

That's what "Original Sin" actually means, and concerning how much we sin, Ohhhhooohooohhh, Jesus talks A LOT about it in the Bible. You should try and read it instead of stating a mere opinion.
@@skitzwaz7019 Are you talking about different translations of the Bible? If so, then you must understand that there are many of these Bibles that actually were rejected because they didn't reflect the true word or correct definition of what had been written (in English that is). If you're talking about different Gospels altogether, then pray tell: Where is this proof?? I can easily state that the ori'gina'l Q'ur'an was also lo'st, and this is why we a'ctu'al'ly have different versions of the Q'ura'n with D'IF'FE'RENT' verses in the Arabic language alone. Don't believe me? Here you go:
33 different versions of the Arabic Quran by name:
1. Qaloon

LOL, first of all, the "Curator at the British library" has never make a research and study about the interpretation he made to the differences among bibles. It's just irresponsible speculation when they make conclusions saying that the Bible has been re-written according to the power of the period etc.
This is just a ridiculous effort from the "New Atheists"...
So it is clear that Not Roman catholic, compile the bible as they claim?
Why don't they use surgical gloves to handle it?
@marcos ponce Nowadays it's considered best practice to not wear gloves when handling archival material. The wearing of gloves makes it harder to feel the pages, and can make tearing of pages easier, especially if the documents are already fragile. I work in an archive, and the conservators have told us this. You're right in that rubber gloves are better than cloth ones, as sense of touch is better in rubber gloves. However, having to show the book to an audience would put pressure on the man which could cause fumbling, and therefore some damage, when turning the pages with any kind of glove.
OMG, why the ridiculous closeups?
The kjv has been copy over and over and is not the oldest bible and the kjv have so many contradictions in it.
KJV was translated from the oldest Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts. The version we have today is that same version.
See "Who Faked the 'World's Oldest Bible?" by David W. Daniels.
