The Truth of the Dead Sea Scrolls

This video was one of many that saved my faith. Praise God and all of his glory

[@appianmedia]

That brings us such joy to hear! Praise God for proving such powerful and faith-building evidence!

Praise God! Thank you for sharing!

The Qumran Bible scrolls confirm the accuracy of our Hebrew text of the OT. They do not confirm the truth of the content. This is a quite different exercise. An accurate copy of fiction does not turn into fact.

Going to be funny when you realize they were forged

​@@mrty5213 What do you mean? Can you please show evidences and why they will do something like this?

Dr. Kipp Davis gives a full rebuttal to the claim by his old mentor Dr. Flint, that Psalm 22 has a Pre-Christian translation that matches the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), rather than the Masoretic Text (Hebrew Bible) and 100% of all other Hebrew Manuscripts on the Psalm.

[@Logik1002]

In the Hebrew Masoretic text, the verse reads: “For dogs have encircled me, an evil congregation surrounded me; like a lion my hands and my feet.” The Lxx translation, however, did not read the Hebrew word כָּאֲרִי, kā’ari, “like a lion” but rather כָּאֲרווּ ka’aru, “they dug,” and thus they translated the word with the Greek word ὢρυξαν, ōruxsan, “they dug” or “they pierced.” The difference was whether the original word ended with a vav or a yod. Virtually all English translations (except those offered by Jewish publications) have followed the Lxx translation instead of the Masoretic text, giving us the well-known phrase, “they pierced my hands and my feet.” Christian translators choose to follow the Lxx because it fit their messianic interpretation of the passage, disregarding the questionable reading of the Hebrew original. The Psalms Scroll found at Qumran did not include 22:16 because the manuscript was damaged at the very place Dr. Flint has transcribed to support his conclusion.

@@Logik1002so what does this kean

[@Logik1002]

@@MonadoMan It means the Dead Sea Scrolls have nothing to do with Jesus.

[@eriel9115]

​@@Logik1002 But, "like a lion" can't be a mistranslation? Because the both words are very similar and the phrase "like a lion my hands and feet" doesn't have full meaning I think. I think if it was really "like a lion my hands and my feet" it will have some words in the middle for complete the phrase. For example "like a lion they hurt my hands and feet".

[@eriel9115]

​@@Logik1002 The two words I'm talking about is the word that means "like a lion" and the another that means "they dug".

Just finished a great book on this topic, called "Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls" by Dr. John Bergsma. This book really opened up my understanding of the Gospel of John.

[@garythomas3660]

I thought kids were throwing rocks in caves and heard shattering? Has anyone heard of that before?

[@izounokuda5461]

Shepherd I think

[@shonaree]

They also burnt some of the documents too.

[@KDeds21]

I think the one of the the shepherds was a kid looking for a sheep. He wanted to see if the sheep was in a cave, so he threw a rock in to try and scare it out. Then he heard the jar comtaining the scrolls break, and the next day, him and some others went to investigate the noise, and they found the scrolls.

[@kosmicwizard]

​@@shonaree I didn't hear this about the DDS, but I know you are correct regarding the Codexies found in Naj Hammadi Egypt.

Praise God.

I cant believe the scrolls survived for so long. But then again, God said he will preserve his word.😉

[@theTavis01]

Tonya - it's very dry there, I think that must be why they stayed preserved

[@ainaguru4986]

where is the legitimate proof these scrolls are legitimate? radio carbon dating is known to be fundamentally flawed, so i’m looking for more reliable evidence.

[@OAKZ1985]

Thank you 🙏🏾just finished reading the book of Adam and Eve and amazed by the detail may Yah be praise.. time for a read of the Dead Sea scrolls. Yah blessing on my journey for his wisdom

[@appianmedia]

Blessings to you, as well.

[@kosmicwizard]

It actually should NOT reinforce the belief in their veracity AT ALL! Every single one of the tens of thousands of scrolls has differences between them, no two are identical! All it shows is how popular the books that became "the bible" are, and that many many people believed that they were of value, and should be preserved.

[@RoseSharon7777]

I'm quite dure they don't have the originals on display.

[@garythomas3660]

They do

[@theTavis01]

They don't, they have facsimiles on display and keep the originals in a safe climate controlled environment

Leviticus 24:22 - Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God. Exodus 12:49 - One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

[@watermelonlalala]

How many cisterns are there?

[@joshdelgado2233]

They found portions of everysingle book except Esther. What did the dead sea scrolls version of revelations say, i wonder?

[@BDDBDD-xp9cx]

The Apostle John wrote his Gospel as well as Revelation towards the very end of his life around the year 90 AD or later. The Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem in the year 70 AD and the Essene community at Qumran was also destroyed at that time. So I believe you raise a good question because these guys in the video should be more specific in regards to the books found. From my reading of other books about the Dead Sea Scrolls the books found were from the Old Testament not the New. Perhaps they can clarify this in these comments.

[@danc.1908]

@@BDDBDD-xp9cx they were clear if all the works dated back to 1-300bc then they cannot contain new testament books that were writing 60-90 a.d.

[@jangerritse1110]

The whole point of why they are so important is that they were written before the new testament was written and Jesus was born.

[@waynesloane8447]

Very misleading, if most of the other sources I've read or seen so far are any guide. The scrolls do not mirror the gospels e.g The Community Rule. Nor is it settled that they were all written by the Essenes.

[@appianmedia]

The discussion of the dead sea scrolls here make no mention of the gospels being found here, but rather many of the old testament writings.

[@johnwoodhead5950]

Apparently there are biblical scrolls and none biblical scrolls,obviously the war scroll never made it into the bible,it’s the nature of the sect that lived in those caves that fascinates me,I think it’s fair to say that that sect was not a group of peace and love preaching people

[@futurefieldsforever8729]

Appian Media ~but maybe they were hidden before the books of gospel and Paul ? Reasonable they wouldn’t be there.

[@futurefieldsforever8729]

John Woodhead ~ FYI. listen audio book of. Essenes. The most peaceful humans ever . The were against all killing even a bug.

[@BDDBDD-xp9cx]

@@johnwoodhead5950 If you are interested in understanding this sect (The Essenes) you can read what 1st century writers such as Josephus or Pliny the Elder wrote about them. You could also read the book "Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls" by John Bergsma.

Snakes can't talk and the Bible is a book of teachings and lessons, not a chronological order of things that happened. That's been proven.

[@verddatyer7727]

It’s main principles talk about spirituality in this world and beyond, the balance of lightness and darkness, the guidelines of what’s right and wrong, the truthful nature of true power in this world and a person who wields all of this random free given power, great prophecies which are not detailed in an obvious way which make you realise that nothing works as expected and it’s a miraculous writing composed of over years, in different countries by 40 different people

[@verddatyer7727]

Of course it’s just a book, but it’s not just any book. Open your eyes, look at this world for what it is before it’s too late. This world isn’t nothing.
