THE SEVEN CHURCHES OF ASIA
/REVELATION 2 - 3-
It is WRITTEN in 1 Peter 3:15 … “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and
be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you of the hope that
is in you with meekness and fear:" God wants us to know AND understand His
Word (2 Timothy 2:15), “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman
that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Jude 3,
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,
it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should
earnestly contend [Gr. agonize with fervent zeal] for the faith which was once
delivered unto the saints.”

I
had more discussions with a Muslims name Yusuf this past week who Falsely
believes the oldest manuscripts of the Bible are from the fourth century AD,
and apparently unaware that the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus are not
the only ones because there are also Byzantine Codices that exist. What follows
are two of the responses I posted from Yusuf to Defend against the Deceptions
he has Fallen Prey to:

Yusuf
E ... You are believing Deceivers; You are so deceived and unlearned it is
horrible, and your "technically" claim is a Lie. You are deceived
that we do not have manuscripts older than the 4th century, You clearly have - Never
done YOUR own - research to find you Have been deceived by your sources; I have
done the research, so to Defend against - deceivers like all Muslims - prove to
be.

There
are manuscripts from the 2nd century, a 157 AD Latin Bible translation which
Tertullian of the second century had access to which still exists, a First
century Syriac/Aramaic Peshitta translation, we also have the Epistle of
Barnabas of the first century which agrees with the Four Gospels, and many of
the writings of what are called the "early church fathers" (late
first century and early second century) who were converts of Jesus' Apostles
written to seven churches that taught what the Apostles taught them; for
example - Ignatius a convert of Apostle John - a few of the letters to churches,
you can Google: letters of the early church fathers to churches (first and
second centuries) if you are interested.
-
I
also have the - extensive research - done to prove all the "Dispute Verses"
of the Bible - Belong - in the Bible, which uses the 2 and 3 century
manuscripts and other forms of Evidence. Aside from all of this, Archeology has
found many full sets of manuscripts dated from the second century, and some
parts of manuscripts date to the first century.
-
The
only reason we do not have a full set of first century manuscripts is because
the material used for them decayed, but - ALL the other Evidence - I provided -
IN THIS response Above - proves that not having all the first century
manuscripts is - Not - a problem to validate what we have today - IS - what the
first century manuscripts contained, and You are too Deceived by your “sources”
to discern You totally Are. Again, those like me have the Two God Given Proofs
which happen in our spirit and soul that ALL Muslims – Are – totally deceived
by the false cult of Islam to discern ALL of you are.

E ... FYI the Alexandria Egypt manuscripts were Corrupted by the -
Gnostics and Arians - who flourished in Alexandria, in the - attempt to Remove
all verses of Scripture - that teach Jesus is deity and as eternally existent
as His Father Almighty God to agree with their Gnostic and Arian Deceptions
against Jesus; therefore, with this Fact - also are - the Vaticanus and
Sinaiticus manuscripts Corrupted.
-
Any
- modern day Translations - that use the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus manuscripts are
- ALSO Corrupted Translations, which I WARN that NO Christian should ever
purchase, study, teach, or preach from, and FYI the NIV, RSV, and - Numerous
others - Are Corrupted Translations. The 1881 AD Westcott and Hort NIV was
among the First Corrupted Translations to be Published, and that others - like
it and after it - began being translated.
-
The
Byzantine Antioch manuscripts were - Not - corrupted, from which the 1599 GNV,
1611 KJV, 1862 YLT, 1982 NKJV, and many others are translated from. ALL Muslims
constantly prove to be Gnostics and Arians, and thereby prefer to use the
Corrupted Translations because they agree with Their Deceptions against the
True Depth of Who the True Jesus is in His spirit and soul: Deity and as
Eternally Existent as His FATHER Almighty God.
