O.K. the Greek assertions first, miniscule next:

The following extracts from here

During the thousand years of its composition, almost the entire Old Testament was written in Hebrew.

The New Testament, however, was written in Greek.

The earliest copies of parts of the Hebrew Old Testament were discovered in 1947. They are part of the famous Dead Sea Scrolls and actually date back to the first century BC. Even though they are at least 900 years older than any parts of the Bible we had before this, they are not the originals. They are copies. The originals have all been lost or destroyed.



the below extracts from here

Language of the Hebrew Bible
The texts were mainly written in Biblical Hebrew,

The very first translation of the Hebrew Bible was into Greek.

Languages of the New Testament
The books of the Christian New Testament are widely agreed to have originally been written in Greek, specifically Koine Greek, even though some authors often included translations from Hebrew and Aramaic texts. Certainly the Pauline Epistles were written in Greek for Greek-speaking audiences. See Greek primacy for further details. Koine Greek was the popular form of Greek which emerged in post-classical antiquity (c.300 BC – AD 300), and marks the third period in the history of the Greek language.[1] It is also called Alexandrian, Hellenistic, Common, or New Testament Greek.

So we can take it as a given that Koine Greek was the language of the earliest translations and writings, the Dead Sea Scrolls are accepted as copies, written about 300 years after the event, not originals.

I don't see how it is impossible for the author of the Dead Sea Scrolls not to have made a simple mistake, e.g. 616 instead of 666.

Late edit: I mixed up The dead sea scrolls with Papyrus 115.

Papyrus 115 (P. Oxy. 4499, designated by \mathfrak{P}115 in the Gregory-Aland numbering) is a fragmented manuscript of the New Testament written in Greek on papyrus. It consists of 26 fragments of a codex containing parts of the Book of Revelation, and probably nothing more.[1] It dates to the 3rd century, ca. 225-275 AD.[2] Grenfell and Hunt discovered the papyrus in Oxyrhynchus, Egypt.

So my mistake the dead sea scrolls were not written 300 years later, it was the papyrus 115 fragments which disagrees with the 666 and are about 300 years after the event

666 has been in the Book of Revelations since the earliest of the written Bibles, there has never been any controversy, it has been accepted by scholars world wide as the genuine number in revelations.

Now to the miniscule assertions.

I understand miniscule to be a form of calligraphy for the Latin alphabet, it was used about 800 - 1200 A.D. by the roman church.

Miniscule is not a language, it is calligraphy.

So the roman church used miniscule calligraphy to translate the original Greek writing into Latin.

666 would've been in the original Koine Greek versions, translated into Latin using miniscule calligraphy, 666 would have remained in the translated versions.

I believe it has now been translated into about 2,500 languages world wide, they all say 666.

I'm not disputing that, I'm disputing that 666 in Koine Greek looks precisely nothing like Bismillah and a pair of crossed swords.

The only problem with your masterful analysis, Moses, is that Islam has been around for over 1200 years. The Beast is meant to precede the apocalypse, not hang
g around for almost as long as Christianity itself.

Why exactly is Mohammed even called a Prophet ?

Because if you call him a deficit someone will blow you up.

the beast you mention doesnt refer to islam, if anything it refers to the physical beast or antichrist that will appear at the end of times.

Your getting your scriptures all wrong

There are a couple of beasts Wally, islam perfectly fills the criteria of the beast know as 666.

Just a few requirements 666 is pushing for are

Beheading Christians and Jews, muslims love it.

All muslims want to belong to one world islamic state.

Blaspheming against Y.H.W.H. and Christ.

I know it isn't the original, it is the oldest copy I found.  What is the oldest one you have seen?

Do you have the original?  If so please share (with me, and the entire academic world, and then standby while you are forevermore set for life for finding one of the most important archaeological finds in history)

moses wrote on Aug 30^th, 2015 at 5:37pm:


Such as copies of which earliest Greek versions?  There are 2 that I'm aware of (p115 and p47) both look nothing like bismillah that you are claiming it does (and that naughty Mr Shoebat lied to you about)
