You should read the threads on this forum about this topic. Those "visually helpful" photo montages are misleading. If you look into it, the proponents of the "modern forgery" claim have nothing, as they neglected to do the appropriate color corrections.
A read the threads in this forum, and the more detailed and higher quality threads in Steven's forum, which is why I posted a more detailed list of videos then Steven did. I stand by what I said.
Having looked at the evidence (try watching the videos), which is by now overwhelming, you would have had to do better than "nobody in scholarship" for me to take any of your claims seriously, . Ad homina doesn't go very far.
Where is that supposed "ad hominem" argument here?
Nobody in scholarship is an ad hominum attack on me because it assumes I'm not in scholarship.
Steven would get roasted for posting links to his site, but I collected a few bookmarks to help me find the important threads over there, so I'll post them here in case someone wants to find some solid information (after working through the video links posted above - they vary in quality but there good stuff is worth the sifting, because the importance of this issue is gargantuan):"And there even could be some elements involving the counter-Reformation attempt to make a new Bible version against the Received Text, and this sorely needed a full Bible companion manuscript to Vaticanus"
Well, I still assume you are not in any relevant field of scholarship, as a scholar in the relevant fields would know Latin (which you don't) or Greek (which you don't either). And no, that's still not an ad hominem attack, as that assumption results from factual statements you made regarding relevant factors for the question in place and doesn't concern your character or anything like that.
But that's the issue, isn't it? The alleged Sinaiticus fraud would be important if there were any indication that it, indeed, happened. Which there isn't, which is the main reason nobody wants any links to that specific forum. That's the issue with apologetics: They start with the conclusion, look for stuff they think corroborates their conclusion and ignore everything that contradicts it. Which isn't scholarship, btw.ebion wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 5:38 pm I think the Sinaticus fraud is very important for reasons Steven touches on in his Pure Bible Forum:

Yeah, like resurrecting this old, obsolete thread.ebion wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 5:38 pm I won't be following this thread because have more fun things to do...
Which, without access to the actual original document to perform this spectroscopy on, is irrelevant.
Aren't we all? Anyway, doesn't matter.
Yeah, sure. I also have my Ph.D. or can claim "expertise in spectroscopy", but who cares.
And whether someone has with the relevant information or not shows; if they've watched the videos in the OP, and watched the videos I posted links to, and read the threads that I posted links to, they might have something to say. The threads on PBF are very substantial.
The issue with that "relevant information" you mention is that it is of low quality and sits on baseless assumptions.

Yeah, sure. As usual, the conspiracy theorist conveniently forgets that the relevant text is in hands of several large secular institutions that have no interest in hiding anything. The folks at the British Library were originally quite forthcoming, but they basically shut communications down when they looked at the quality of the alleged "evidence" for forgery. It's a normal reaction to unfounded speculations and outright false claims.ebion wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2023 2:09 pm I find there's really a broad spectrum attack by the "influencers" to not only hide the evidence, but hide the massive collusion in this Fraud: Lutherns, Vatican, Ste. Catherines, Jerusalem Patriarchy all working together. In terms of ecclesiastical forgeries, Sinaiticus takes top prize.There must somehow be important on a global scale.
