Question #36 -
QUESTION:
Do the Dead Sea Scrolls render the King James Bible obsolete?
ANSWER:
No, they support it.
EXPLANATION: The
Dead Sea Scrolls which were found by an Arab shepherd boy in 1947
in the Qumran caves near Jericho, Israel have no ill effect on the
Bible.
Their text actually agrees
with the King James Bible. This fact makes them unattractive to
scholars desiring to overthrow the perfect Bible. So, other than
commenting on the irony of the way in which they were found, they
are largely ignored.
The translators of the King James Bible did not
need the Dead Sea Scrolls since they already had the Textus
Receptus which they match.
