Lord, it's amazing. I love what you've done for us. 놀라우신 주님, 당신이 행하시는 모든 일, 나는 사랑합니다.<br />
LeeSaya 9/28 3:45pm<br />
I am so pleased and blessed by this site and the sight of the anointed word of God! One of my favorite<br />
versions of the bible is exactly the same words of these <strong>Dead</strong> <strong>Sea</strong> <strong>Scrolls</strong>! Wow is all I can say! Precious!<br />
I am Bubba Nicholson, Stevie Spielberg's friend. I want to offer my congratulations to you all on this magnificent achievement. I hope<br />
that you manage to publish all the texts quickly. It would also be nice to see the oldest Christian Bible and Koran in <strong>Israel</strong>, along with<br />
other fine old books of <strong>Israel</strong> on these pages<br />
Amazing. And to be able to view this online, connecting Cent -1 to Cent 21. Wow!!!<br />

Was the lost gospel of Thomas in these writings somewhere?<br />
If not is it something that might be published? Thank you so much for<br />
putting these online – this is just what the internet was invented for!<br />
Kevin McCaughey 9/28 4:30pm<br />
Ok I don’t get this, there is so much information missing, who ate the bottom of<br />
these scrolls, how are we going to figure out the missing parts?<br />
Eli 9/27 4:36am<br />
We won't/can't --that is the frustration of studying ancient documents<br />
[Jeremy] 10/1 5:39am<br />
No. <strong>The</strong> dead sea scrolls are mostly from before<br />
the time of Jesus. <strong>The</strong> Gospel of Thomas was<br />
part of the manuscripts found in Egypt (Nag<br />
Hammadi) in 1945 three years before the DSS<br />
were found. <strong>The</strong> DSS were written by people<br />
who were part of a Jewish sect. <strong>The</strong> Nag<br />
Hammadi texts were about 400-500 years later<br />
and were written by Gnostics --a Christian sect.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Gospel of Thomas has been widely<br />
published and is still in print. An Amazon search<br />
should show several. Many of the Nag Hammadi<br />
texts are still in print in James Charlesworth's<br />
New Testament Apocrypha from Doubleday.<br />
Ray 10/1 4:10am<br />
Thank you for allowing the public to view these. I am however a little confused by the fact you<br />
would use the "BCE" term instead of "BC" while referring to<br />
[Jeremy] 9/27 6:31pm<br />
It's the new, hip way that scholars are using the term -- BCE (before common era) and CE (common era). <strong>The</strong> acronyms BC and<br />
AD are considered old school, now. Ü<br />
Is there any information about Mary Magdalene in these scrolls?<br />

No. <strong>The</strong>y were written before she was born.<br />
