Did I tell you, yesterday I saw (observed) the two angels that spoke to me last week? (again, tongue in cheek)
Extra-biblical Revelations

I believe firmly that God continues to speak with people even to this day. What confuses people is the idea that God will speak to one person with a message for another person. Sure, that happens but generally speaking God's words are for the recipient. I've listened to many testimonies of people who have heard God. The message is almost universal, and that message is simply this:
Galatians 5:13-15 (ESV)
13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
Galatians 5:13-15 (ESV)
13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
Excellent observation. There are some things I could add to this, but I'll let it go.

Whatever God speaks it would not contradict what God has spoken in His Word, otherwise how would we test it or know it was from God? And if it is from God why not explain from Scripture where the truth lay.
2 Corinthians 11:14 ESV
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
There are other scrolls besides those aren't there?
The arena of questionably has come and gone. It now be a reality. With all of Tiscendorfs lies about how he came upon the first batch of parchments. whilst in St Catherine’s monastery upon discovering a basket of manuscripts ready to be burned I did come upon the greatest discovery : ) the Monk did inform me it was a basket of manuscripts to be burned. The reality is that monks don’t burn worn out copies they are stored or buried unto their own deterioration. On top of that you are dealing with parchment not papyrus. Parchment is thinly scrapped animal hide. It be valuable because of its durability you are able to wash other writings off and use again. It also burns very badly and besides just think of the stink in the monastery that the poor monks would have to endure. Even the basket was commonly used for storing manuscripts throughout Europe and the Middle East not as rubbish bins. But within the past few decade the reality has finally come home to roost to what the Sinaiticus really is. Most probably a 19th century copy and certainly not a 3rd, 4th or 5th century copy because the parchment is WHITE. Actually the whole Sinaiticus used to be white but someone stained them to look older only the parchments located in German Saxony remained white the others had been tampered with. Somewhere after the mid 1850’s. Of course this wasn’t known to most of the world very few had actually looked upon the Sinaiticus as a whole until the facsimile edition of 2010. And even that was coloured in a way that all sheets looked the same it wasn’t until the entire Sinaiticus was put online in full colour that the shocking reality hits home.
MM the Sinaiticus be a good partner in crime for the Vaticanus you mentioned which should really dated around the Middle Ages and not to what is claimed, just alone on its Middle Ages decorations little lone it’s wording or anything else. But perhaps a discussion for another time.

I am not the expert on this. Musicmaster is very well informed but I have not do any work on linguistic in many years.
I do know that for centuries, Bible scholars examined two ancient texts to elucidate the original language of the Bible: the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint.
The Masoretic Text is a traditional Hebrew text finalized by Jewish scholars around 1000 C.E. The Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Torah created by the Jews of Alexandria in the third century.
From what I have been able to read and understand, Some of the Dead Sea Scrolls actually have more in common with the Greek Septuagint than the traditional Hebrew Masoretic Text. This suggests that the Greek translators must have been translating from Hebrew texts that resembled the Dead Sea Scrolls. I think that there are FIVE scrolls in existence.
No, you did not tell me that!
What did they say?
What did they look like?
Did YOU take your meds today?
I am 100% sure that you are sincere. I wish with all of my heart that what you are saying was tur. But alas, I can not agree!
It is not confusion my dear brother.....IT IS SIN! All born again believers still have the SIN NATURE! It never goes aways until we die.
When we "think" we hear God speaking to us, somewhere between His lips and our ears, that SIN NATURE comes in. All of a sudden.....
PRIDE, GREED, CONFIDENECE, takes over and those magic words......"GOD SPOKE TO ME" becomes a beacon for self promotion!
IF what we think we hear God say..........CAN NOT BE FOUND IN WHAT HE HAS ALREADY SAID, THEN GOD DID NOT SAY IT!
As for testimonies. Do you realize that most Christians do not know how to give a testimony.????? I had to stop allowing them to be given as they always turned into......LOOK AT ME! Look at what God did for me!
As God is my witness........many years ago, Sister Agnes, a 85 year of saint of God wanted to give a "testimony".
"Paraphrasing it......she went on to tell us that while sleeping, she saw Jesus Christ come into her bedroom. He used His fingers and pulled two of her teeth our and replaced them with GOLD TEETH and she felt no pain what so ever.....SEE! Here they are".
Now, as Paul Harvy used to say........Here is the rest of that story. Agnes went to the dentist and had those two teeth pulled. He replaced them with a bridge. I know that because the dentist was a member of the church and he laughed till he fell off of his stool when I told him.
That's OK. There is no need for us to agree.
That's OK. There is no need for us to agree.
But you would feel a lot better and sleep better tonight
if you agreed with me!
