Aleph/B
Hi, Fitzy and welcome
​
The most reliable manuscripts that exist today are the Massoretic manuscripts 900AD(OT manuscripts), Dead Sea Scrolls 150BC-70AD(OT manuscripts), Codex Vaticanus 325-450AD(greek NT manuscripts), and Codex Siniaticus 325-450AD(greek NT manuscripts).
​
Aleph (Sinaiticus) and B(Vaticanus) were exploded as accurate manuscripts as long ago as 1883(The Revision Revised--John Burgon)and have had a demolition job up to the present. WH`s axioms of older,shorter,harder and their Genealogical methods have been exposed as nonsense.
​
If you have an inerrant manuscript, trot it out and let`s see.

Re: Biblical Texts
Nighttrain,
I thank you for your response but I will ask you to provide evidence for your claim along with a response that is a bit more lucid.
​
I don`t think you get it, Fitz. You made the claim. The onus is on you to supply the evidence. Try taking each source separately and then we can study them collectively.

Re: Aleph/B
No rush, Fitz, this is heavy material.

Paleography
While Fitz is researching, any thoughts on the margin of error for paleography? Most examinations of Aleph and B start with 'believed' to be 4th century CE. Similarly, the Qumran Scrolls are dated by paleography to 1st cent.BCE+.While scribal'styles' and colophons might identify the writer, would not 'styles' carry on over a long period in an age of limited learning? Does a language alter so quickly that one can date the changes?
