Okay, somebody asked a question. I'm aware it's called Codex Vaticanus. How is it connected
to the Vatican? So the number one, most important manuscript to modern Bible translators
is Codex Vaticanus, like that is the one that has the most influence on modern
versions. It's also sometimes called Codex B. Codex B or Codex Vaticanus is the corrupt
Greek text most responsible for the corruption in the modern versions. And the reason it's
called Vaticanus is because it's located in the Vatican's library. It was found
in the Vatican's archives. It's something that they had tucked away that was basically,
you know, made publicly available and printed in the 1800s so that scholars could study
it and start to use it and be influenced by it. Whereas before the 1800s, it was a
text that was not having an influence on Bible translations, and it wasn't being
copied and used and translated. It was something that the Vatican had tucked away.
And in the 1800s, it becomes mass distributed and published and widely available. And it
starts to have an influence along with Codex Sinaiticus, which is found in a monastery
in Egypt in the Sinai. Those two texts, who don't even agree with each other, by
the way, in many multitudes of places, became the basis of the Westcott and Hort
Greek text, and they're majorly influential in the Nestle Alonde and the United Bible
Societies' wrong Greek texts. And, you know, these two documents, I like the
Bible verse that said, you know, the two witnesses get up to testify against Jesus, and
they couldn't even agree with each other. These are the two evil witnesses against the
Word of God, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, and their testimony does not agree with one
another. I love that. I never heard, I never thought
of that, but that is a great analogy. Like false witnesses against Jesus, these
are the false witnesses against the Word, and they don't agree.
