Ancient bible found in Cyprus.

Not really. I never said there were NO differences. The amazing thing is how much they are the same given that before the scrolls were found our earliest OT was 9th century. So they pushed it back 900 years.

I'm still slightly awestruck at the enormity of the find. From wiki:

Although a few of the biblical manuscripts found at Qumran differ significantly from the Masoretic text, most do not in significant ways.

I think most people are just hoping this one doesnt contain any more commandments

What would be the ten urban commandments?

1. *Thou must share the virtual hob nobs
2. *Thou mustn't lend a fiver to Dub (or was it thou must lend a fiver to Dub?)
3. Thou must tell phildwyer to fuck off (it doesn't matter why, and it doesn't matter that you don't know him, these are the rules)
4. Thou must swear profusely in a manner that you probably don't in real life, and sooner or later, you will find yourself calling someone a c*** irl
5. Thou must be on the alert for troll and spam threads and pop in to say 'last in' in the hopes of winning a bin race
6. Thou is only a proper urbanite if you've won a bin race

I can't think of any more at the moment.


*dub, fiver, hobnob use to be a popular welcome to newbies when I first joined, can't remember now whether you or weren't supposed to, it's been that long

Don't follow rules man

what about all the books left out the NT and indeed the OT...there is a program on Google video called 'the lost books of the bible' or something and there are around 15-20 gospels left out. These some of them where recovered from Egypt a while ago and set out some totally different views of JHC.

similar to this

lots to argue about really that is the big problem...interesting thou, you have on one hand a kind and thoughtful god looking out for all the people...and the other hand a tyrant who just killed thousand at a stroke for not believing
