translated exactly the same as the Hebrew scriptures we had in 1947 when the Scrolls were found? Remember, the scroll was dated about 2000 years old, yet it was still the same as the copy of the copy of the copy, etc.
Some claim that the Bible can't be trusted because of copiest errors and mistranslations over the years, but there is absolutely no evidence for this.

I didn't say the wording was exactly the same. I said it translates the same. Don't put your opinions and errors in my mouth.

If the bible is true where are the Apocrypha, including the book of Mary.
Oh sorry, they didn't fit in did they.
Especially the one supposedly written by Mary Magdalene, couldn't have a woman being seen to be important could they, so they tried to bury the evidence and turn her into a whore.
Because that book, and the rest of the Apocrypha, were also found in the dead sea scrolls, and if you claim one validates the bible you can't deny that others disprove it.

actually I have seen texts of the Great Issiah scroll side by side with current Hebrew texts of Issiah.
in the section I saw you could identify over half a dozen spelling changes in the size of a chapter.
not to say that the meaning of the words have changed significantly but to say that it is exactly the same as the Issiah we have today is a lie.
scribal and copies error has done significant damage to the Bible I could show you thousands of differences between the Qumran and the Masoric texts not to mention the problems they have when you compare them alone.
wow someones angry. I just wanted you to understand that the Great Isaiah scroll is not so great. Copies errors did occur, we dont even know if they cared about errors in that period. Especially if you look at the errors between the Qumran scrolls themselves they are all over the place. I am not trying to diminish the signifigance of Qumran or the Masoric texts I just want you to understand that what you are talking about is very complex I have a proffessor whose reasearch is in Qumran and he can tell you so much more on this topic than I. Is not as black and white as you make it out to be.

Yes the dead Sea scrolls is indeed real. You see. A half glass fill with water isnt the same like everybody think it is. Some will say its half full and some will say its half empty. Human have this tendancy of creating stuff their own way of thinking. Lets say we put a vase on the table and have 10 people drawing it on a piece of paper. Do you think all 10 have the same drawings? The bible is real but people change it anyway they want to think is right or real. THATS why Muslims say the Bible is tempered and not holy anymore.

In my opinion, the bible generally serves as a guidelines for humanity on what direction should it take the route to discover the truth themselves. As humanity grew in spiritual maturity They themselves will have developed inner understanding which part of the Bible represents the truth and which one might appears to be an errors. Of course it's just an opinion.

anyone who believes God and looks for salvation in Christ Jesus, will only find God's love towards mankind all through the scriptures. The ones who look for errors wont be disappointed either. As the Holy Scriptures are hidden from the unbelievers.

I trust the Bible and its contents to be the Word of God. I don't care what anyone else believes, but I believe in it.
