Quote : “The most valuable manuscript in the library is the Codex Sinaiticus, (which) dates back to the fourth century,” said the Rev. Justin, an American monk working as the monastery’s librarian. “This is the most precious manuscript in the world,” referring to the ancient, handwritten copy of the New Testament.

The picture of the leaves of the Codex Sinaiticus lying in a basket about to be burned receives some general confirmation by a report by V. N. Beneshevich that he had heard from the steward Polycarp in 1908: ‘Quite recently, in order to get rid of “rubbish”, they heated the bread oven with old books, among which were very rare editions.’
” “This is the most precious manuscript in the world,” = they heated the bread oven with old books, among which were very rare editions.
…… coming from the same Church that produced Spanish friar Diego de Landa ??
Actually, the Codex Siniaticus is only valuable as a pillar in New Testament critical theory. The text type itself is not ecclesiastical.
Im not sure anything produced by the Church is ecclesiastical anymore Dr F. Im reading a lot of info about pre Nicae, the christians were more interested with Jonah and they didnt use Crucifixes to recognise each other, they used fish and it had nothing to do with the Apostles being Fishermen. Im doing some light research at the moment in Proto Armenien Baals, The Armenien BaalShimon with his trieme looks to me to be the ‘bridge’ between Child burning Baal Idolators and the adoption of the Greek fathers towards Christianity (although, lets admit it.. the Pagan Greeks had nothing to sell for ‘the Afterlife’ that compared to the Christians, Entrance to the Kingdom of God, etc..The Greeks just had becoming a shade and eating dust for eternity to look forward to, regardless of what they did whilst alive..)
and ‘HOS du jour’ The Baals were the Giants as described in the Bible.
Well yes but don’t forget that Greece was far from uniform when it came to religious ans spiritual beliefs. There were regional variations, rites and practices; not to mention the mystery schools.
