I would like to hear the reasons why.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are in three bodies today. The Isreali's have a few, there is an unknown number in private collections and the Catholic Church controls the rest of the scrolls in the Scrollery in Jerusalem. All scrolls published prior to 2000 can be contained in 3-4 books with extensive writings filling innumerable additional volumes. Since the Office of the Inquisition of the Holy Roman Catholic Church (actually they changed their name about 60 years ago but I can't remember it) lost control of the scrolls in about 2000, we now have 47 additional volumes of scrolls published.

Of course, the Catholic scholars claim they were just being careful for 56 years but they have put out a lot of "spin" and "smoke" in two years for a bunch of guys that were just figuring out what it says. They probably haven't learned too much more than they already have in the Vatican Libraries but they won't let us see that either. Now that the Huntington Library in Pasadena has photographs of all of the scrolls and will let any serious scholar look at them, the truth will begin to emerge.

Thanks for your reply. I have a feeling we will hear some other version tonight also.

Frankly, I am 47 years old and have waited most of my adult life to read the actual text.

What are they hiding?
