The Dead Sea Scrolls are a set of ancient Jewish manuscripts from the Second Temple period. They were discovered over a period of 10 years, between 1946 and 1956, at the Qumran Caves near Ein Feshkha in the West Bank, on the northern shore of the Dead Sea. Dating from the 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE, the Dead Sea Scrolls include the oldest surviving manuscripts of entire books later included in the biblical canons, including deuterocanonical manuscripts from late Second Temple Judaism and extrabiblical books. At the same time, they cast new light on the emergence of Christianity and of Rabbinic Judaism. (Wikipedia)

Dead Sea scrolls are such an obvious fraud. They're based on a pile of unbelievable coincidences centered around Israel becoming a state 😅 Discovered at the perfect time to breathe new life into a dying Christianity, exactly the right amount of text for a few guys to forge in a few years, written in print not cursive (which isn't expected), recorded by people who weren't known to be literate (these are their only writings), first artifacts carbon dating was used on (which initially was the only solid proof they were real), etc. etc. No doubt the old skins were real, but the texts are all frauds. Israel has never allowed them to be tested without supervision. Every scroll that has been has been proven to be a fraud 😂

Lost or found doesn’t matter. You are responsible of distinguishing what can be a word of God or not. Read this SAMUEL 15:3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
If you believe some kind of deity uttered these words you are not only an airhead but a psychopath one too

It gives me a little thrill that these private collectors bought forgeries!

How to talk 2 hours about an exceptional archeological artifact discovered in palestinian territory, and partly blatsnyly stolen by Israel, without mentioning Palestine. Bravo

Even when talking about a historical manuscript a zionist can’t help introducing their garbage ideology of the genocidal state

3:23 It's not in “Israel,” as theft doesn’t validate anything at all, and there's nothing called Israel in the first place irrespective of zio-slaves' zio-slavery (i.e., service(s) to the zionist thieves “masters”).

Have the dead sea scroll finally answered the most important question in all of early Christian scholarship, did historical Jesus wear big boots?
@nextoesc

So, the dead sea scrolls are an Hebrew translation of the Septuagint, originally written in Greek?

Watch Dr Hillman debate with Kip, it’s so cringy and embarrassing. Kip sounds like a kid who’s so lost he can’t even keep up. He’s a pathetic bully who can’t debate a classicist. The OG language is Greek and he’s trying to combat from a lesser language. Explain how part of the DSS are in Greek.

if this is true; than that means the scribes of Qumran who where biblical literalists, also had a somewhat liberal interpretation of the authority of scripture; which is radically different from modern religious thinking

Just made three massive garlic butter cheese burgers at 12 in the morning I just finished eating them all and washed them down with two cokes… I think I might be on my death bed… it tasted so good but now I’m having a hard time breathing. I was gonna pray and repent of my sins because I’m pretty sure this is it boys… then this popped on my feed. Taking it as a sign from Satan and I’m watching this instead.

I think, clearly, private collection is worse, but it’s worth pointing out that state-run collections are open to similar critiques. Those institutions also make purchases, which, like private collections, increases the demand for forgeries and theft, and when state-run institutions take things without paying for them it’s often the exercise of power they already have over social groups and other states. Israel was only capable of fully nationalizing these text because they have the military capability necessary to take them by force from the Palestinians. And why should Israel have any greater cultural claim over them than the Palestinians?

Okay so he talks about how Isaiah is allegedly written by two different authors and says it’s not authentic because of that and then turns around and says he wrote a book with other people.. but wait isn’t that no longer authentic by your standard??People will go to the ends of the earth to try and disprove the Word of God. Praying for everyone’s harden hearts to feel the love God has for them through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ.
Also not once did you compare what is in todays versions of Isaiah vs what was found in the DSS. Good idea it would’ve totally ruined your “case”.
