The usual suspects tried very hard to use the Dead Sea Scrolls to undermine Christianity.

It didn’t work.

I haven’t spent any time on them recently, but I did quite a lot of looking into archaeological research connected with the Bible at one time. In the end, some of it was very interesting, but didn’t really change anything.

If this latest find is real, I presume there will be similar efforts to undermine the Bible, and a similar lack of success. But there could be some interesting stuff, too.

Actually, the Dead Sea Scrolls reinforced Christianity. I attended a seminar with the Mrs. not long after we were newlyweds back in the 1980's. Fascinating stuff.

Of course, if one is so inclinded, you can cherry-pick quotes from the Bible to undermine Christianity. Much like libtards cherry-pick from certain sections of the U.S. Constitution to undermine the Constitution.
