Interesting read about a priceless relic.

I picked up a Time Magazine for the first time in a while yesterday.

It was exceptionally thin with a lack of advertisements. Even the drug companies’ advertisements meant to condition patients in doctors’ waiting rooms to demand from their doctors overblown cures.

Misleading headline.

Personally, I think that Sukelik was correct with an idea he floated early on in the DSS debate (back in the early 1960s, IIRC), which was that the Qumran caves were basically genizot - mortuaries for worn-out or corrupted texts. If so, this would seem to give added support to the preservation of the Masoretic text, since what would then seem to have been thrown away as corrupt in the caves would be mss. that deviated from the Masoretic, even in a few words or letters, suggesting the methodology of the Masoretes is older than scholarship currently thinks it was.

Time is reporting it loudly. Therefore, it’s probably wrong because they want to find ways to attack the Bible. And in those days, Historians made errors, wrote in artistic fashion, and they sometimes were mistaken in their interpretation of what they observed,,,,

but there are almost no examples of outright lies.

She sounds like a liberal to me. It is based on her own credibility. Critics of the Bible are also Professors in our seminaries here in America. Hers is a personal opinion. It has garnered her attention, hasn't it?

It sows error. Flimsy .

Shame on her. MO

TIME magazine is TRASH now. Flush it AWAY!

Yeah, just like the “Odessy” wasn’t written by Homer, but by another Greek with the same name!

How does a celibate sect flourish?

Uh-huh. What's the frequency agenda, Kenneth?

Where do they think Yohanan the Immerser (John the Baptizer) came from? He would have been under the same death sentence as Yesuha.

FAQ
In what languages were the scrolls written ?

The majority of the scrolls were written in the Hebrew Language (approximately 90-95%) with Assyrian Block script. From this majority there are a few cases in which the scribes used Paleo-Hebrew (see for example 4QPaleoExodus). In addition to the texts found in Hebrew there were also some texts written in Aramaic and Greek.

>> “When they refer to themselves, it’s as ‘men of holiness’ or ‘sons of light.’” <<

So they used a different name. Theories of why Josephus used “essenoi” abound, but many of them sound like an outsiders’ appellation. THIS sounds like a historian decided to spin his findings in such a was as to maximinze press coverage, which has become an enemy of research.

There may come a time when scholars agree that the editors of Time Magazine never existed.

... a claim that has shaken the bedrock of Biblical scholarship.

So it just takes a 'claim' to shake BEDROCK?
