The Distortions of the Holy Book
By: Zeinb Abd Al-Aziz( PHD)
A large number of corrections, expurgations', modifications, changing and interpolations are clear on this page from the Holy Book, can this be truly the word of God
On October 6th , 2008, BBC website, a website belonging to the British Broadcast, uploaded a very important article about the Holy Book that was found in Saint Catherin monastery in Sinai- a desert in Egypt.
This manuscript was found 160 years ago. It was given the name "Codex Sinaiticus" in order to distinguish it from the Vatican codex, which dates back to the fourth century. These two codices are believed to be oldest codices of the Holy Book though written in Greek and this means that they are not the original codices of the Holy Book, which is supposed to have been penned in Aramaic language, the language of Jesus- at least the Old Testament.
Rodgr Bolton, the writer of the article, says:" What makes this codex questionable, thought this will shock most of our Christian brothers who think that the Holy Book at their hands is God's word, is that each page is coloured with many corrections and amendments and this is an incontrovertible proof that this codex is not God's word. The article is about launching a website next summer for the codex for scholars and specialists to study to know how the so-called holy texts have undergone many changes over the span of history." Indeed, as he promised, this website was launched in July, 2009 and this is its link:
On the sixth and seventh of the same month, a scientific forum was held in the British Library to discuss the sources of the codex after the different segments of the codex were gathered from four places around the world( the British Library, the national library in Russia, Saint Catherin in Sinai and the library of Layzbg university)
It seems that abiding by the time of launching the website topped the interests of the website supervisors because the number of the languages the codex translated into and the translation of all the texts were not as they promised.
All the studies about the story of discovering this codex and getting its segmented parts are clouded with some vagueness and absurdities, the same concept which is widely accepted about the birth and evolution of the present Christianity. For the sake of brevity, they say:" …in 1844, Von Tischendorff, a German researcher, was sent to Egypt in information-gathering task, he visited Saint Catherin, a historically venerable monastery, where he was hosted by a priest. While he was taking a tour, he found many codices in wastebasket prepared for the heating stove; this is not strange especially as it was proved that many of codices were used in heater stove by priests. The researcher didn't hesitate to stretch his hands and take them; they were 129 pages of the Old Testament from the Torah known as Septuagint. So, he took it and entrusted it with the library of Layzbeg in Germany.
In another visit in 1835, he found two more parts from old Testament. In the third visit, he was told by the priest about what he kept for himself, it was a complete version of the New Testament.
When the visitor asked to have a look at it, the priest refused, so he travelled to Cairo and there in a church that followed the same creed he asked for the codex, he persisted on asking for it to give it as a present to the Caesar, who was in charge of financing the excavation project and the priest complied with the order issued from the church, there are 33000 codices in Saint Catherine monastery and this number is more than any other number outside Vatican.
Many questions are always posing themselves hard as to the number of codices stolen or smuggled out of Egypt and the negligence of the priests and their disinterest in the codices they have… many were lost and many were used in fuelling the fire of heater stove and many were sold for just a little money- this is not new information as many historians and scholars have referred to this fact.
Among the most important remarkable points in this codex is that the New Testament includes chapters that are not in the present Bible; among these is Bible of Barnaby, which include prophesies about the prophet Mohammed, it refers to him by name, and also the Bible of the Shepherd Hermes- these two bibles were excluded in the present Bible. Also, the way in which the chapters in this codex are arranged are not the same in the present Bible.
This discrepancies and differences apart, this codex destroys the credence of the holy texts; there are a lot of obliteration, additions, changes and replacements on every page as the picture above manifests.
Dr Sc.Mckendrick, in the French Le Monde, says: this codex gives us a perfect picture about the beginning of Christianity and gives direct evidence to rephrasing of the Holy texts and how it has morphed into its present state over the span of history."… Because the codex is replete with corrections on every page, these corrections are said to have been made during the sixth and seventh century and even this period was extended till the twelfth century.
J. Burgon, the dean of Westminster faculty, says: "The discordance of the text of Sinai or Vatican is not just an opinion but rather a unquestionable fact; there is no mention of words and phrases in Vatican codex in 1491 while Sinai codex is riddled with many errors. The codex of Vatican expunged 2877 words, adds 563 words, replaces the meanings of 539 words with other meanings and changes the places of 2098 words and distorts 1132 words. Sinai codex is more corrupted as it has more than 9000 differences and discrepancies."
Up to the 4th century, the church couldn't determined which bibles they should follow from tens of bibles followed at that time, So in 325, Niece synod was held to strengthen the faith doctrine after it had modified to fit edifying Jesus.
Excluding the Bible of Barnaby ( also Baranabs) from the present Bible is not- as they claimed- because it indicts the Jews of killing Jesus, but it has been rejected because it gives glad tidings about the advent of prophet Mohammed.
The close study of the codices will show that there are some contradictions to what Jesus really says in the present Bibles; there is no any reference to the story of the" whore", also the so-called verse which Jesus uttered on the cross is not mentioned in the codex; this is the verse: " Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. (Luke 23:34). There is no mention to the ascension of Jesus( in the Christian way) which is considered the basic pillar of the Christian faith and this shows how the Bibles were authored over the span of history. Also," the absent verses in this text" in the codex of Sinai proves that Mark ended at "( Mark 16:8)
" And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they anything to any man; for they were afraid."( Mark 16:8)
This shows that they didn't tell anyone that they had found the tomb empty and hence no one knew that Jesus was resurrected as the church claims because according to what the Bible says in this codex, that dates back to the end of the fourth century"… neither said they anything to any man; for they were afraid."( Mark16:8)
It is clear that the verses from nine to twenty which are the closing end were added later to be identical and similar to the closing end of Mathew, this compromises the lie that they claim that Jesus said: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost(28:19)
It is known that the doctrine of "Trinity" was first formed and imposed on people after it had been approved in The Synod of Constantinople(A.D. 381), the reference to Trinity affirms that Sinai Codex dates back to the period after 381, not to the mid of the fourth century.
Also, there is a less important remark; the end of "John" in the codex is chapter(21:24), this means that verse number"25" is not there, an addition which was interpolated later, just pondering on how this phrase is formed and phrased will reflect to what extent the overstatement was and still is the main pillar in calling people to Christianity.
The verse which is not in the codex says: " And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.
Also, the present end of this bible proves that its author is not the so-called John because he says:" 21:24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
Andria Paul in the French encyclopedia" Universalis", the Holy Book chapter, says:" The Holy Book has been formed gradually and in different stages, it is a group of writings which were made in different ages and were collected in nine centuries, there were verbal narrations that were modified according to any new events. Kumran codices ( the Dead sea codices) prove that the Holy Book is not only a group of writings that were made in different ages but also they prove that they were keenly selected and in the time when others were excluded." For the same reason, B. Ehrman, a theology scientist and professors in the history of religions, says that:" The Holy Book that we have now can't be God's word"
Just one look at the attached documents – this is just a sample representing Sinai codex- will lead you to understand how heavy the oppression that the church practiced in the course of 2000 years, millions of peoples were decimated just to accept the distorted doctrine by force, and also it wil show how blatantly this doctrine was weaved with fabrications and here is just a codex that underpins this structure that the church built .
So without hurting anyone, I would like to say to those who inadvertently contribute in Christianizing the world, though none of them is to be blamed for this interpolation or distortion that occurred in the Holy Book, fear God and stop preaching Christianity among Muslims because the most acceptable religion is Islam, the religion of pure monotheism.
