The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has revolutionized our picture of the early history of judaism and of the jewish background of early Christianity. With the completion of the publication of the entire scrolls collection, it is now possible to draw significant conclusions from this treasure trove of ancient documents. This illustrated lecture by Professor Lawrence Schiffman will discuss the discovery of the scrolls, the archaeology of Qumran where the scrolls were unearthed, the nature of the library, and its significance for the study of Judaism, Christianity and their common destiny.

@alimalim2
Please go and read the Qur’an, because in the Qur’an it is said that Jesus will come and fight against the Antichrist on Judgements Day. You are obviously not a real Muslim.
Of course …
Of course institutional Christianity is not dead, no matter how much one might wish to cut off their embarrassing supply of porridge….
Not only muslims …
Not only muslims reject Godness of Jesus, Jews also reject. İf you doesn’t believe me ask jews if they accept more then one God or no? How you believe the dead person (Jesus) will come back to world to salvate the human being; the one, (Jesus) couldn’t find any other way, better way to be crucified for salvation.Think a bit more depply please.
Read the old …
Read the old testament the Jews are not imune from carrying out attrocities, the only diffference is they murdered in the name of Yahwe. It is a humans commit these acts not Jews Christians Moslems Hindus………
nice joke… jesus …
nice joke… jesus was simple jew and i could prove that to you that your nt is a bunch of mistakes
“destruction 4 my …
“destruction 4 my people”
who is your people?
I agree with you. …
I agree with you. Christians have done many horrible things that are unjustified. I also agree with you that if we just brush it off because it was in the past, then we will never learn from our past transgressions. If we don’t accept that we can do wrong and horrible acts, what will prevent us from continuing to do so?
All religion as …
All religion as practiced is stupid. Jesus is a just like Mohammed.
“We will show them …
“We will show them our proofs in the horizons, and within themselves, until they realize that this is the truth. Is your Lord not sufficient as a witness of all things?”
Just because …
Just because mankind has destoryed nearly most all things its ever touched doesnt mean you have to deny the existence of some kind of omnipotent force behind it all or that Jesus was in tune with this force, it could be a possiliblty and you have to keep an open mind about things !

Excuse me but Xianity has caused death & destruction 4 my people since 1492. When I debate Xians, & this subject comes up, they say “well, this was in the past.” No, it wasn’t just in the past, it has contunied from the 1st days of the European invasion.
Last year, I found a Xian church & boarding school that was exposed as killing hundreds of Canadian Indians, many of them children, but the families were ripped off by the church killed 4 their land & was sold 2 the lumbar companies.

Remember people, …
.
Remember people, on the coming months of September to December, there were 2 volcanoes that would erupt in the US, the name of these volcanoes have something to do with faith. This eruption is a trumpet blast from God. Repent now people! Avoid pornography, smoking, cursing, fornication, adultery, immorality, occultism etc. Be holy; do not turn to church for salvation, turn to Christ

Moslims rejects the …
Moslims rejects the idea that (JESUS) is ((GOD)) becuse they don’t want to be rejected by (JESUS) in His 2nd coming if moslims call Him “Lord,Lord” or “my god”!;)
You’re comparing …
You’re comparing Apples and uhh… gods.
Like I said originally, if there are stats on the subject that you have then please provide them. Or else stop with your confused comparisons.
if there is a 78 …
if there is a 78 percent chance that the apple in the bag is green and not red, you can say “i believe its green” . no confusion in that statement . You simply cant win with raging atheists .
So basicly while I …
So basicly while I find the statics in favor of God, I won’t deny you might look at the same data and come up with your own spin (which I find most Atheist simply try to write it all off as conicidence.) Thus I ended with the “But this is just my personal belief” because it seemed like the safest ender for a topic that could be as volital as a can of gas.
I won’t lie, I think the odds of there being a God are so great, it’s not shocking most people believe in some sort of higher form.
The thing about …
The thing about numbers is, I can give you them, yet you’ll probably still say coincidence.
Like the odds of accidently calling your friends dad instead of your friend a week before he passes away, then getting your friend to call his dad just in time for the two to finally make peace. To me, something like that is so completely impossible, only with the hand of God could it actually happen.
Through studying history, the bible to history and bilbe to itself (NT vs OT), I feel it’s true.
You say that the …
You say that the Statistics prove Christianity (without citing the “statistics”) and then go on to say its just your personal belief… which is it?
Christians seem confused.
I for one do not …
I for one do not believe anyone has debunked Christianity. I came to my belief in it through my own studies of history and stats. IMO, it is statisticly very likely there is a God and Jesus. But this is just my personal belief.
But every religion …
But every religion makes the same claim.
exactly but the …
exactly but the muslims still reject this, when you compare the dead sea scroll scripture to the Old Testament bible scripture they are near enough identical, all foretelling the coming of Jesus Christ, where he will be born, what name he will be given, how he will be killed, what will pierce him, how they cast lots for his clothes, how he will take away the sins of the people, how he will be crucified. The list is endless yet muslims reject it.
While obviously I …
While obviously I can’t say you’re wrong, I can’t say you’re right. I’m not sure there’s been a major religion like Christianity that’s passed away in recent times.
My, I personally will continue to live as much like a true Christian as I can and when I have kids, I will teach them to live in the same manner. This is all we who believe in the one true God and savior can do.
