The Ultimate 'Who Done It'

Hi Friend, šŸ‘‹

Most people have heard of Codex Sinaiticus—the manuscript that modern Bible editors call ā€œthe world’s oldest Bible.ā€

But what if it’s not just mislabeled… what if it was faked? 😮

Here’s a simple breakdown of the story and the evidence.

šŸ“š The Claim: ā€œThe World’s Oldest Bibleā€

Many modern Bible revisions trace their changes back to a single manuscript: Codex Sinaiticus.

But there’s a major problem…

ā— Evidence shows it wasn’t ancient at all.
ā— It didn’t come from the 300s.
ā— It was a forgery.

That’s what the book Is the ā€œWorld’s Oldest Bibleā€ a Fake? uncovered.

And once you prove something is fake, the next question is obvious: šŸ‘‰ Who faked it?

šŸ§ā€ā™‚ļø Suspect #1: Constantine Simonides

Simonides was a Greek manuscript maker who openly said he wrote Sinaiticus himself.
He claimed it wasn’t an ancient treasure—it was his own work from the 1800s.

Was he telling the truth?
Or trying to take credit for something he didn’t do? šŸ¤”

šŸ§ā€ā™‚ļø Suspect #2: Constantin von Tischendorf

This man is the hero of the modern textual critics.
He’s the one who claimed he ā€œdiscoveredā€ Sinaiticus in a monastery and declared it extremely old.

But in the research, something became clear:

Ā  āŒ His story didn’t add up.
Ā  āŒ His timeline shifted.
Ā  āŒ His claims contradicted known history.

In fact, the earlier book showed Tischendorf lied about key details.

šŸ•µļøā€ā™‚ļø So Who’s Telling the Truth?

To answer that, the new book puts you in the detective’s seat.
You get the evidence.
You test every claim.
And you decide.

Here’s the method šŸ‘‡

šŸ” How to Evaluate the Evidence

Each person’s story gets broken down and checked against:

āœ… Historical facts
āœ… Timelines
āœ… External witnesses
āœ… Known records

You’ll see:

  • four types of historical evidence
  • four levels of certainty
  • and a step-by-step way to evaluate every claim fairly

Nothing is hidden. No cherry-picking.
Just the facts.

🧩 The Result: A Story That Fits the Evidence

By the end, a clear picture emerges:
You’ll be able to identify who really created Sinaiticus, and why.

And once you see the evidence?
You may never trust a Bible built on that manuscript again.

I know I won’t.
That’s my conclusion.
What you do with the evidence is up to you.

"Excellent book - enlightening!"

"An excellent book - enlightening! It will help anyone's understanding of which Bible is THE Bible, the 1611 KJB. David Daniels has disclosed undisputable facts that illuminate the truth -- and reveal the tragedy of people believing the lies behind the modern versions, which only promulgate chaos, confusion and doubt. Sadly, tragically many simply do not know their enemy!!"
