Archaea is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Continued review:

It brings appreciation for the scribes. Sure they were sometimes petty, sometimes malicious, but imagine, considering the difficulties of just writing and understanding with the materials used and lighting, what efforts were taken. The efforts that anything of value accomplished some value and is indeed a central, compilation of the world's major religious tradition, is astounding.

It also points out something I'd heard once, but forgotten. The Story in John of Jesus and the woman taken in adultery did not come from the original Gospel, nor from John, but at the very best may have been an oral tradition, but it violates too many concepts to be legitimate as penned.

Another false story, the ending of Mark. The most authentic text shows the women came and saw and told nobody. Some opine the ending was lost, and some opine that's how Mark wanted it. The most authentic copy does stop before the apostles are told anything, as the apostles of this Gospel, never understand Jesus.

It is very enlightening, and probably disturbing for any evangelical Christian believing in the inerrant word of God, as inerrant is simply not true.
