1500 year-old ‘ Syriac ‘ Bible found in Ankara, Turkey : Vatican in shock !
The relic was 'rediscovered' in the depositum of Ankaran Justice Palace, the ancient version of bible is believed to be written in Syriac, a dialect of the native language of Jesus.
The bible was already in custody of Turkish authorities after having been seized in 2000 in an operation in Mediterranean area in Turkey.
The gang of smugglers had been charged with smuggling antiquities, illegal excavations and the possession of explosives and went to trial. Turkish police testified in a court hearing they believe the manuscript in the bible could be about 1500 to 2000 years old.After waiting eight years in Ankara the ancient bible is being transferred to the Ankaran Ethnography Museum with a police escort.
Ancient Bible will be shown in Ankaran Ethnography Museum
The bible, whose copies are valued around 3-4 Mil. Dollars had been transferred to Ankara for safety reasons, since no owners of the ancient relic could be found.
The manuscript carries excerpts of the Bible written in gold lettering on leather and loosely strung together, with lines of Syriac script with Aramaic dialect. Turkish authorities express the bible is a cultural asset and should be protected for being worthy of a museum.
Ancient Bible in Aramaic dialected Syriac rediscovered in Turkey
Syriac is a dialect of Aramaic – the native language of Jesus – once spoken across much of the Middle East and Central Asia. It is used wherever there are Syrian Christians and still survives in the Syrian Orthodox Church in India and a village in the vicinity of Syrian capital Damascus. Aramaic is also still used in religious rituals of Maronite Christians in Cyprus.
Experts were however divided over the provenance of the manuscript, and whether it was an original, which would render it priceless, or a fake. Other questions surround the discovery of the ancient bible, whether the smugglers had had other copies of the relic or had smuggled them from Turkey.
Vatican eyes the faith of the ancient relic
The Vatican reportedly placed an official request to examine the scripture, which was written on pages made of animal hide in the Aramaic language using the Syriac alphabet.
The copy of the ancient Bible is valued as high as 40 million Turkish Liras ( 28 Mil. Dollars)
What’s NOT mentioned in this article (and why the Vatican is in shock) is that according to the text in this bible, Jesus was NOT crucified.
first thing, Muhammad (saw) never preached robbery. Those who say so have never read his hadith. About marrying a chil : it was a custom among arabs in those days for child marriage, and adlts would mary girls about 8-10 yrs, which was practised in india till 1940’s . Marriage never means molestation. Islam is the only religion which punishes rape along with marital rape. Muhammad’s last words were a prayer to humans of any religion and their salvation. Muslims are prohibited to say bad to jews or christians or their prophets. Islam promises heaven to a righteous jew or christian too.
As for the modern terrorism, its solely political, terrorists recriut people in the name of religion, but fight for only political reasons.
Any roghteous christian or jew should not out spoke with such malignance, all prophets, jesus, moses muhammad are known for their merciful natures.
“Discovered and kept secret in the year 2000, the book contains the Gospel of Barnabas – a disciple of Christ – which shows that Jesus was not crucified, nor was he the son of God, but a Prophet. The book also calls Apostle Paul “The Impostor”. The book also claims that Jesus ascended to heaven alive, and that Judas Iscariot was crucified in his place.”
The gospel of Barnabas isn’t in the bible for a good reason – it’s a fabrication. The Jesus described in the book of Barnabas is a cold, callus a-hole. He yells at everyone from the least to the greatest. He does not match the biblical Jesus at ALL! He’s much more like the Jesus found in the qu’ran. How convenient is it that the gospel of Barnabas claim that he was not crucified just as the qu’ran claims.
The Holy Bible says that Jesus went up into the wilderness and was tempted by the devil before he began his ministry. The gospel of Barnabas says that Jesus had a visitation from the angel Gabriel before he began his ministry. Isn’t that the same angel that Muhammed claimed to have received the truth from? See the connection here? All it takes is a little investigation people!!!
How can the gospel of Barnabas claim that Paul was an imposter when Peter says quite the opposite?
“Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.” 2 Peter 3:15
Peter calls Paul a brother and said that his wisdom came from GOD. This whole article and this “discovered bible” wreaks of Muslim doctrine and anyone who cares to investigate before condemning the Christian faith will recognize this. People aren’t looking for truth though – they’re only looking for lies to justify their hatred for Jesus Christ, the SON of the ONE TRUE GOD.
It is Serbian-Illyrian Bible
Does no one get it about Christianity? It was a faith created to throw Rome and the great republic of Rome. Why do you think Romans tried to get rid of them?
Just one of the devil’s work.To decieve the believers in this last days.
All I am reading is a title and the lead of a story also this is being held to high reguard in a ialaimic nation.
Carful to not be deceived
if the vatican get this, it will be destroyed..pls don’t let them have them have it.
from aasiya
So many people praising some false bullshit like God,Jesus and Allah. Open your eyes and realize you have all been fooled to believe that stuff was real. It is about as real as the Easter Bunny fucking a fairy.
i would really like to know if this is genuine i wonder when tests will be done and what the results will be
don’t let the vatican touch it. they will have some accident with it, expertly alter it or something. DON’T trust them.
what I find troubling is the initial confusion on dating the text. if in fact it was written in 1500 AD,then it is a little older than Columbus. if in fact it is 1500 years old, then it was written in 500 AD, who was even using that dating system yet? sadly it looks more like a movie prop constructed by modern man. call me jaded, but, comparative texts of comparable age just don’t look that pristine. Carbon dating is an acceptable means of material dating, however a good forger can collect proper materials to fool even a scientist. If copies were made, how may we the public view translations, or view the actual Syriac text,a Aramaic dialect to translate on our own ?
This is a claim or true document that needs public, scientific, rational, and transparent investigative techniques applied.
The very thought of having one’s faith shaken is terrifying.
To correct a possible wrong perpetrated on Mankind this long is not to be done in secret.and must be allowed, hence the transparency…
so links need posting,steps need documentation,and the Truth, however painful needs telling.
I am proud of my Nazarene Faith. and I understand the beginnings of our Church. I also understand that liberties over time have been taken with the written text to further some agendas. But faith and lifestyle are most important to a good and meaningful life.
The Vatican already knows.
The Excavators should be Deemed a Hero for Discovering this Treasure no matter how it was found and Yes, “The Truth Shall Set Us Free.”
