Everybody loves a good mystery. That's just what the secret scrolls or the Dead Sea Scrolls are to many people: A good mystery. Think about it: Hidden documents, undiscovered for two thousand years, largely suppressed by scholars for another forty years. Documents dating at least back to the time of Jesus and the early church. What new insights are contained in these mysterious scrolls? What can they tell us about Judaism and the early church? Why were many of them suppressed by scholars for so many years? \n\nThe Christian Church have been challenged by people, mostly non-scholars, who allege that the Dead Sea Scrolls have been suppressed because they undermine Christian doctrine. The scrolls are said to contain shocking secrets about Jesus and his disciples. A few popular books and at least one television special have been dedicated to this theme. It has been so widely perpetuated that it may be worth our time to answer these critics.\n\n Once we have swept aside some popular and bizarre theories of the Dead Sea Scrolls, we can then turn our attention to the more important matter of seeing what light they really do shed on Jesus and the early church. We will see that there were numerous points of contact between the people who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls on the one hand, and Jesus and his disciples on the other. When we look into the teaching of the scrolls we will be able to perceive an ongoing dialogue between the writers of the scrolls and the writers of the New Testament. Listening to this dialogue will help to explain some otherwise obscure verses in the New Testament and will throw a flood of light on the world of early Christianity. The world of the first-century Jesus will come a little more to life and we will be better able to appreciate what he said and who he is.\n\n \n\nThe Sensational Scrolls\n\nBut for the moment let us turn our attention to sensationalists like Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh. In their book The Dead Sea Scroll Deception, they argue that the Vatican suppressed the scrolls because they contain information harmful to the Church. At first blush some of their claims seem credible. On the western shore of the Dead Sea lies Khirbet Qumran, the site of an ancient community of people who have been described as Jewish monks. In 1947 an Arab shepherd accidentally discovered some scrolls in a cave not far from Qumran. Between 1952 and 1956 ten more caves were located. The scrolls of cave four, which contained over 500 texts, were for decades tightly controlled by an editorial team of mostly Catholic scholars. The team published only about 100 of them over the course of 40 years.\n\nTo whom were these Catholic editors accountable? To a Dominican-sponsored school in Jerusalem which had direct ties to the pope himself. From here Baigent and Leigh paint a sinister picture of a ruthless Church suppressing or destroying incriminating documents to protect Church doctrine.\n\nAn important strategy created by the editorial team to suppress the truth, the authors argue, was creating a rigid orthodoxy of interpretation of the scrolls. The linchpin of this interpretation was the dating. The team tried to put as much distance as possible between the Dead Sea Scrolls and early Christianity. Thus, the team claimed that the scrolls belonged to a period long before the Christian era. Anyone who might question the early dating or the team's interpretation, or who would fight for the publication of the secret scrolls, would be treated as a heretic.\n\nBaigent and Leigh's book has been effectively answered by an article by Hershel Shanks in the magazine Biblical Archaeology Review. Shanks points out that no such conspiracy could possibly have existed. Several Catholic scholars, like Father Joseph Fitzmyer, a distinguished emeritus professor at Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., were very vocal in criticizing the editorial team for not publishing their texts. Another Catholic, a Spanish Jesuit na

Seek and ye shall find...\n\nMarianne. There are two kinds of code. There is the code that uses the method of counting the equidistance of letters in the original text (which is what your program did) and there is another code that is used in "types" which my study explains.

The bible is complete if anyone adds to it you will regret it.And if you follow them. So there is no truth but the bible.You choose your choices.

For those who believe, the Bible is a living book.  Which means that the words today are as true as they were yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  When you find new understanding of the scripture it is a little of both going on.  God knows that no one can understand everything all at one time, and he knows that we all learn in different ways.  When scripture messages are "revealed" to you, that is a revelation that God sent to you in a way that you needed to understand it at a time you needed to understand it. Now if you interpret, and it is not God's will, he will find a way to "reveal" that too.  Because if you believe and are truly faithful, God will always provide you with the tools and the information you need.  So, even if you interpret (yourself) and it is a wrong interpretation because you got in the way of your own understanding, God will reveal it to you when you need it.  That is why being a Christian is a journey.  If we all had the ability to read, understand, and apply absolutely everything, then the journey would be over. So, sometimes you will be confused, sometimes you will stumble...but if you are a believer and you ask...he will pick you up when you fall. Just be open and accepting of your revelations as they come and keep studying. Good luck and God Bless.

hmmmm, this will be good!!\n\nFor: GINEVRA1WEASLEY, how is he pulling things of contexts when it's from your very own Bible? 32 (Bible) Scholars couldn't get it right and I doubt that you'll be able to get it right..

Sparky First let me say I appreciate the 10 pts. I don't know what I did to piss you off though. I told you to look up the work "Qumran" because it is one of the best documented archaeological finds in the world and I knew that there would be plenty of info online (which would be convenient for you). Would you rather me refer you to the dozens of books that I know of offhand or to an infinite # of archaeological reports that are incredibly boring to read? I studied Qumran under Jodi Magness at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and she is the foremost American Archaeologist in the world concerning the "holyland." In particular, she is definitely the foremost authority on Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.  In case you don't know, archaeology is SCIENCE, not religion, and archaeological reports and finds are scientific and are not at all connected to the Church or any religion.  \n\nNothing in my answer to you dealt with religious dogma, I simply tried to answer your question as to why SOME Christians see a threat in the DaVinci code. Now, as for your claim that the bible was written 200 years after Christ, well that's true for some of the later NT books, but not of the Gospels. Some of the gnostic texts were much later than the gospels, which is part of the reason they were rejected by the church. \n\nAnd lastly, you claim that the bible has changed so many times that it's all crap. What do you have to support this? Go see the Dead Sea Scrolls some time, which were written between 2500-2000 yrs ago (as I visited a DSS exhibit about a month ago in Charlotte, NC). And then compare that to the KJV or the American Standard Bible.  The Old Testament found in the 1950s in the Caves near Qumran is nearly word for word with what we have today.  It is amazing that in 2000 or more years the Jewish text has changed so little!  This means that we should all reexamine the amount of credit we have granted the Jewish oral tradition that was so important to the early Christian Church.  IT IS ACCURATE, whether you want to admit it or not. SCIENCE and HISTORY support that.\n\nAgain, I answered your question rather well... Let me try one more time in FIVE SIMPLE SENTENCES that will be very easy for you to comprehend this time:\n\n1.  It wouldn't be so bad if Jesus was married.\n\n2.  Christians are NOT offended or threatened by the possibility that Jesus could have been married.\n\n3.  It's simply not historically true or believable, from the bible and from the writings of two Roman historians Tacitus and Josephus.\n\n4.  However, Some Christians ARE offended by the notion that Christ was not Divine; and the "The DaVinci Code" claims his having a child is proof that Jesus was NOT divine.\n\n5.  Such a claim can be damaging to the mission field because people like you believe anything and everything you read in a novel or see on TV and are therefore hostile toward Christianity.\n\nSo, that's why some Christians are offended by the DaVinci Code and by the notion that Christ might have been married to and had a child with Mary Magdalene.  Because of the hostility towards Christianity that such false belief creates.  People like you work directly against anyone trying to bring people to Christ.  \n\nPS.. the whole "MM was a whore" lost in translation thing.. do your history research man, you don't know what you are talking about at all.  You speak fiction and pass it off as truth. \n\nAnd you wonder why people would be offended?  maybe some people just like the truth?\n\nLet me ask you a question.  Why are you so offended by Christianity?  What are YOU afraid of?  The Truth?

It's possible you could of minutely stumbled on some ancient code, but the Bible Code says the Earth maybe hit by a comet in 2012. I'm poor so what da' hell,

Since there is no original copy of the OT present today, no one knows what was changed and altered.\n\n\nIsa 29:15  You are in for trouble, if you try to hide your plans from the LORD! Or if you think what you do in the dark can't be seen. \nIsa 29:16  You have it all backwards. A clay dish doesn't say to the potter, "You didn't make me. You don't even know how." \n\n(JPS)Isa 29:16   O your perversity! ...\n\n(KJV+)  Surely your turning of things upside down...\n\n\n\n2Co 11:13  Anyway, they are no more than false apostles and dishonest workers. They only pretend to be apostles of Christ. \n2Co 11:14  And it is no wonder. Even Satan tries to make himself look like an angel of light. \n2Co 11:15  So why does it seem strange for Satan's servants to pretend to do what is right? Someday they will get exactly what they deserve.

absolutely real. been working with the founders. there are codes in everything - your physical body is a genetic code. everything you see around you is encoded, whether natural or artificial, codes of atoms, molecules, etc. etc.\nwhen people make video games, the characters come to life because of codes of zeroes and ones.\nreason you haven't seen more of it on television is Hollywood is not sure what to do with it, and the actual discoverers do not want to sensationalize it.

I tell you one thing about the bible that is pretty trippy. Some, a few, know it's heavily veiled and cryptic.Some who skim through it (like allot of them out here) take many things the bible says literally.They think they know the truth. You cannot possibly understand this book by just skimming though it. Any theo-scholar can tell you that.. The best thing you can do is read it cover to cover, keep doing this no matter how many times you've read or what you think you know. The more times you read it, the more messages become "unveiled" and unencrypted. I've read it 37 times cover to cover, working on 38..and believe me when I quote gods own words in black and while in the bible where it says "none of you have this right" He's not kidding. I've seen only one or two Christians out here who are developing a good understanding.. From what you're seeing in what you've read you are beginning to get it.But you just went WAY over the heads of 99% of the Christians out here by a country mile...lol good work keep reading

I have been to Bible code seminars before and I have found them most interesting. The one major flaw with them is that while they have a great track record of showing past events in the Bible they are poor at predicting the future. The reason is that you need to know all the factors involved before the fact. \n\nAn example I remember was the 2000 election. Someone saw in a grid the words Al Gore and President only latter did he see the words he will think.\n\nSo while Bible codes might be great for validating the Bible I would not hold my breath about the future.

There is some evidence that there are hidden messages within the bible.  Primarily, however, we should always take the attitude that what the bible says plainly, is truth.\nThose who study it daily, find they agree more with others who study it daily, also.  It is the casual reader who finds a novel interpretation and doesn't evaluate it in light of other scripture, considered proper hermeneutics, that there is a problem.\n\nhttp://www.bible-researcher.com/biblical-interpretation.html

False. The Bible is a masterpiece of ancient literature with some good advice and wisdom. Your brain is the owner's manual should you choose to let it be.
