Discovery of Codex Sinaiticus which can now be seen at http://codexsinaiticus.org is regarded as perhaps the most influential manuscript that led to rejecting the old King James Bible and replacing it with more "updated" Bibles from "older and better" sources.
QUESTION IS: Why has the Codex Sinaiticus never been tested to confirm its age and authenticity? We have all the technology to do that yet the one time it was scheduled to be tested, April 2015, the test was mysteriously cancelled.
IF THE SINAITICUS PROVES TO BE A FAKE AND /OR VERY YOUNG MODERN BIBLES SUCH AS THE ESV, NIV, NKJV ETC WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO CLAIM IT CONTAINS GOD'S WORD. If on the other hand it proves to be authentic and as old as they say it is (at least around 1600 years old), modern Bibles may be right.
WE PETITION THE CURATORS OF THE HOLDERS OF THE SINAITICUS TO HAVE IT SCIENTIFICALLY TESTED A.S.A.P. :
The British Library in London; Leipzig University Library in Germany; St. Catherine's Monastery in Mt. Sinai, Egypt; National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg
I am very happy to be the first person to support this petition of C J Visser. I have read a huge amount of literature both for and against the authenticity of the Codex Sinaiticus, which is alleged by its supporters to be a genuine 4th or 5th century manuscript. It isn't. It was produced during the period 1839-1843 as a humanistic project to downgrade God's Word - which is faithfully preserved for us in English in the King James Bible. Those who keep the Codex - part in Leipzig but most of it in the British Museum - consistently refuse to use forensic tests on the manuscript to prove its age. Signing this petition may help to expose one of the greatest hoaxes ever
