Dave Hunt on Codex Sinaiticus & Codex Vaticanus

With so much activity of late on the issue of the credibility of Codex Sinaiticus, and with it the Codex Vaticanus, we are thankful to have found two articles from the late Dave Hunt on the subject.  While Dave was certainly not "King James Only" with all that that label applies, he primarily used the KJV because he believed it represented the Majority Text for the Bible.  He also believed that the manuscripts used for the Critical Greek Text (i.e. Vaticanus & Sinaiticus) were badly corrupted.

On the Vatican's website, they even post "GUIDELINES FOR INTERCONFESSIONAL COOPERATION IN TRANSLATING THE BIBLE, THE NEW REVISED EDITION, ROME."

Irenaeus on Keeping the Sabbath

"Irenaeus, bishop of Lyons in the last half of the second century, also gives us lengthy comments on the Sabbath, and his views probably reflect those of Asia Minor, since that is where he was from.
