The author clearly has an anti-Christian agenda, but there are a few interesting things here that can't be explained away by that. Ultimately the article probably won't affect my faith too much,if at all, but I was curious for some opinions.

Hi AndrewK.

You don't need to worry about this one, apparently Bolton didnt care enough to do the rest of his homework.

The Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most "corrected" manuscripts in history with 14,800 corrections all done by mere mortals.
From the 4th to the 12th centuries, no less than 9 "correctors" made the changes and that leaves alot of room for human mistakes, originally it contained the whole of both the Old and New Testaments.

The fact that it was written in the fourth century doesn't give it any priority over the Bible we have since the copies of the originals we have now are counted as being very reliable in content.

If you want to read more, go to WikipediA and use some of the links provided in relation to the C.S.

Welcome to the board!
I am the wretch the song refers to.

Thanks. Like I said, I wasn't especially worried about it. I was just curious about what opinions there were.
