Constantine ordered Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea, to produce 50 bibles for his projected world-wide church.<BR/><BR/>Among these bibles are, most likely, Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, two corrupt 4th century manuscripts that omit many genuine scriptures but contain both Old and New Testament Apocrypha as 'inspired' scripture.<BR/><BR/>The true scriptures were preserved down through the centuries by various bible-believing groups such as the Waldenses, or Vaudois, people of the valleys, in northern Italy, who were persecuted by Rome. Milton's poem On the Late Massacre at Piedmont commemorates the savage papal persecution of the Waldenses of 1655 by troops of the Duke of Savoy. The massacre was halted by the intervention of England's then Lord Protecter, Oliver Cromwell.<BR/><BR/>It is essentially the Waldensen text that underlies the English bibles of the English Protestant Reformation, e.g. Tyndale's. It is different from the text of Eusebius that derives from the 3rd-4th century gnostic philosophers of Alexandria, Egypt, who also professed Christian belief. Origen was notable among them.<BR/><BR/>I have some written material on this which I can forward as an e-copy.alanoreihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013953165470026155noreply@blogger.com
