Oldest Bible Contains 23,000 Changes and Corrections! - Experts by faithsurvey: 5:58pm On Mar 18, 2022
Many oldest bible researchers wrote that the oldest bible called codex Sinaiticus has 23,000 changes and corrections made to it. According to the researchers, the changes to the codex Sinaiticus was made by at least seven different bible correctors who lived at different times, between the 4th and 10th century (600 years period). Secondly some bible scholars also wrote that the two oldest Bibles, the codex sinaiticus and codex vaticanus have 3036 textual differences!. It is also well known that the two oldest bible (oldest bible manuscripts) do not contain Mark. 16: 9-20 that talk about the so called resurrection of Jesus. similarly the story of the purported adulterous woman as contained in the modern Bibles was also absent. In addition, the oldest bible also contained many books that were removed from the present day bible such as the epistle of Barnabas, the book of Judith and many more.

The independence website writes under the title "How does it (codex sinaiticus) differ from modern Bibles?"

"The version of the New Testament has some few interesting differences. It includes two works which have since been dropped from both Catholic and Protestant Bibles – "The Shepherd of Hermas", a heavily allegorical work full of visions and parables and "The Epistle of Barnabas", which contains highly-charged language about the Jews as the killers of Christ. It also includes entire books which, after the Reformation, Protestants decided to drop from their Bibles: the Old Testament books of Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, Maccabbees 1&2 and large chunks of Esther and Daniel. And the running order of the books is different, reflecting subtle shifts in the priorities of the believers over the ages. The Codex omits the words which Protestants add to the end of The Lord's Prayer, and Catholics omit: "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever (Matthew 6:13)"

"Other differences include it saying that Jesus was "angry" as he healed a leper, where the modern text says he acted with "compassion". The story of the stoning of the adulterous woman – "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" is not there. Nor are Christ's words about his executioners from the cross: "Father forgive them for they know not what they do". And its Gospel of Mark ends abruptly after Jesus's disciples discover his empty tomb – omitting the 12 verses on the appearance of the resurrected Christ – and leaving the disciples exiting in fear. The Codex leaves an unusual blank space where the verses should be. "That's a very odd way of ending a Gospel," says Juan Garces, the curator of the Codex Sinaiticus Project."

Many people are aware of these but are afraid to leave the path they've chosen! No two manuscript of their scripture is entirely the same!
