Nah, everyone who is on a mission to prove the Bible wrong always use those talking points.
And it's people who like to claim inerrancy who always seem to try to pull the same old slight of hand about the Dead Sea Scrolls....
The Dead Sea Scrolls included texts from the Hebrew Bible, (the Torah), not the Christian Bible with the New Testament texts. There were NO copies of the New Testament among the Dead Sea Scrolls.
And your quote is only referring to the book of Isaiah anyway. "The Dead Sea Scrolls have increased our confidence that faithful scribal transcription substantially has preserved the original content of Isaiah."
It's Christians (like Eusebius) who seemed to be perfectly happy to commit pious fraud.
He couldn't get away with such comments in the UK. This is the hypocrisy of a progressive foreigner using our freedom of speech to make these absurd recommendations. In the entire scheme of things Morgan is a lizard.
You do know that there is freedom of speech in the UK as well, don't you?
So you are saying that the murderous, jealous, spiteful, temper tantrumming, ignorant god of the Old Testament is the same God as the New Testament and today?
Some guy way back when tried to up the bar on the quality of the human condition, he had his own little equivalent to the constitution, one of the rules in it was "thou shalt not kill"..

Are you referring to the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi?
Tell that to the translators who added the word 'homosexuals' to 1 Cor 6:9 for the first time in an English version in 1946. Neither of the original Koine Greek words malakos or arsenokoites could be honestly translated as 'homosexuals'.
Tell that to the KJV translators who used the word 'sodomite' for Hebrew word 'qadesh' which means 'male temple prostitute'.
The Christian Bible is just a collection of texts that was decided on by a bunch of men in the 4th century. Every time it's been translated, words have been added and removed according to the agenda of the people paying for the version.
I don't have to tell anything to anyone, because the meaning is clear no matter what English word you want to use. The message in the Bible has not changed since it was written.
This thread is not about gay sex, it is about amending the Bible, so please spare us from your old talking points.
I just love watching educated people literally SCHOOL religious folk on their OWN HOLY BOOKS. It's amazing how ignorant people are of the origins of their own religions and holy books.
Great way to start the morning.
