Sis Kim. Allow me to answer this question.

These are manuscripts.

The Bedouins found 7 leather scrolls in 1947  in a cave situated in the wilderness of Judah not far from the Dead Sea - kaya tinawag na "Dead Sea Scrolls". In 1951 forward, they found more.

So there are about 800 of these manuscripts which were discovered archaeologically. They are called the "greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century."

These scrolls and fragments are written in Hebrew, Aramaic (not Arabic), and a few in Greek. Over 200 (the ones found at Qumran) of these are copies of portions of every book in Hebrew Bible Text(Old Testament) except Esther. One of these, was the complete book of Isaiah.

A lot of these manuscripts were published quickly and they included:

The  books "Dead Sea Scrolls" in 1955, and "More Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls" in 1958 written by Millar Burrows, a professor of Biblical Literature, were published.

But...

In 1991, almost 400 manuscripts were still unpublished and unavailable to most scholars.

Kumalat tuloy ang controversies and drama and rumors circulating about a massive cover-up. Gustong malaman ng mga tao kung tinatago ba ng mga scholars ang laman nitong ibang mga scrolls? They thought these scrolls might be some "hidden" secret or some missing manuscripts that may reveal facts that would undermine the faith of Christians and Jews alike. They might have thought "these are missing parts of the Bible that should have been there!".

But that was NOT the case! The Dead Sea Scroll Team (4 scholars strictly dedicated to this research), published the official results of their research. Wala namang cover up.

In 1991 also, " A Preliminary Edition of the Unpublished Dead Sea Scrolls : The Hebrew and Aramaic Texts from Cave Four, was published.

A Facsimile Edition of the Dead Sea Scrolls, photographs of the previously unpublished scrolls became easily accessible as well.

So for the last decade, all the Dead Sea Scrolls have been available for examination by anyone.

What do the most of them contain? Not all scrolls that have manuscripts are necessarily Biblical. Some are sectarians as well. Example many of them are  manuscripts that are in Qumran texts and evidently once belonged to a Jewish religious community centered at nearby Khirbet Qumran (Horvat Qumeran). Some parts also are from a different sect that breathe out bitter hatred against all those not belonging to their sect. This sect was borrowed from Persian Zoroastrianism. There were also parts that deal with the Essenes. The scrolls describing the rules and beliefs of the Qumran sect make very clear that there was not just one form of Judaism in the time of Jesus. The Qumran sect had traditions different from those of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

The Dead Sea Scrolls help us to a degree to understand the context of Jewish life during the time that Jesus preached. They provide comparative information for the study of ancient Hebrew and the Bible text.

___

Other than that,  the Bible we have right now, the 66 individual books from Genesis to Revelations, available to us, is already COMPLETE and inspired by God Jehovah - 2 Timothy 3:16.

After all, would He allow an incomplete version of "His word" the Bible to be distributed to all peoples of the earth for a long time?

The Dead Sea Scrolls are mere discoveries that prove the authenticity and completeness of the Bible as what Millar Burrows has said after  examining DSS documents, “The general reader and student of the Bible may be satisfied to note that nothing in all this changes our understanding of the religious teachings of the Bible . . . The essential truth and the will of God revealed in the Bible, however, have been preserved unchanged through all the vicissitudes in the transmission of the text.”—The Dead Sea Scrolls, by Millar Burrows.


sis do you have a copy of the dead sea scrolls? san b makakabili nyan? or can it be accessed/downloaded for free online?

Douay-Rheims Version

I was planning to buy the KJV, but I learned that it has been generally condemned as being the most inaccurate english translation of the Bible, so I didn't bother anymore.

Sis, I beg to disagree...in fact, (authorized) KJV is the most accurate and infallable English translation of the Bible. Kelan lang ba nagsulputan yung ibang mga versions? Their reference lang naman is KJV din...kaya how dare them to conclude that KJV was condemned as the most inaccurate?

Here is just an example. KJV versus NIV pa lang to.

Try Answering These From Your NIV or http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/

INSTRUCTIONS:
Using the New International Version Bible, answer the following questions to this NIV quiz.
Do not rely on your memory. As the Bible is the final authority, you must take the answer from the Bible verse (not from footnotes but from the text).

Fill in the missing words in Matthew 5:44. "Love your enemies,__________ them that curse you, ______________ to them that hate you, and pray for them that __________ and persecute you."

According to Matthew 17:21, what two things are required to cast out this type of demon?

According to Matthew 18:11, why did Jesus come to earth?

According to Matthew 27:2, what was Pilate's first name?

In Matthew 27:35, when the wicked soldiers parted His garments, they were fulfilling the words of the prophet. Copy what the prophet said in Matthew 27:35 from the NIV.

In Mark 3:15, Jesus gave the apostles power to cast out demons and to: ____________

According to Mark 7:16, what does a man need to be able to hear?

According to Luke 7:28, what was John? (teacher, prophet, carpenter, etc.). What is his title or last name?

In Luke 9:55, what did the disciples not know?

In Luke 9:56, what did the Son of man not come to do? According to this verse, what did He come to do?

In Luke 22:14, how many apostles were with Jesus?

According to Luke 23:38, in what three languages was the superscription written?

In Luke 24:42, what did they give Jesus to eat with His fish?

John 3:13 is a very important verse, proving the deity of Christ. According to this verse (as Jesus spoke), where is the Son of man?

What happened each year as told in John 5:4?

In John 7:50, what time of day did Nicodemus come to Jesus?

In Acts 8:37, what is the one requirement for baptism?

What did Saul ask Jesus in Acts 9:6?

Write the name of the man mentioned in Acts 15:34.

Study Acts 24:6-8. What would the Jew have done with Paul? What was the chief captain's name? What did the chief captain command?

Copy Romans 16:24 word for word from the NIV.

First Timothy 3:16 is perhaps the greatest verse in the New Testament concerning the deity of Christ. In this verse, who was manifested in the flesh?

In the second part of First Peter 4:14, how do [they] speak of Christ? And, what do we Christians do?

Who are the three Persons of the Trinity in First John 5:7?

Revelation 1:11 is another very important verse that proves the deity of Christ. In the first part of this verse Jesus said, "I am the A______________ and O___________, the _________ and the _______:"

Conclusion: Little space is provided for your answers, but it's much more than needed. If you followed the instructions above, you not only failed the test, you receive a big goose egg.
(Note: These are all missing in the NIV.) So now what do you think of your "accurate, easy to understand, up to date Bible"?

If you would like to improve your score, and in fact score 100%, you can take this test using the Authorized (King James) Bible.

I used to have a KJV Bible when i was growing up, kaya [textspeak!] nalamog na yun, now, im using NIV version.  I like it coz the english is simplified.  But you'll feel the spirit of the Bible more with KJV. =)

If we are into studying in-depth messages of God, NIV is not really advisable. Maraming verses na tinanggal at maraming part ng mga verses an tinanggal din...and those were the most important messages. Go and figure...

One more thing, word of God were not created for the geniuses, wala namang mahirap intintihin sa Thy, thou, hath, yea, etc.
