Most Significant Find Since The Dead Sea Scrolls

[thessalonian]

Anybody hear about this. Seems a bunch of ancient books have been found in Jordan that are believed to be as old as when the books of the bible were written. Maybe earlier than some books.

David Elkington, an ancient religion scholar who heads the British research team investigating the find, has likewise pronounced this nothing less than "the major discovery of Christian history." Elkington told the Daily Mail that "it is a breathtaking thought that we have held these objects that might have been held by the early saints of the Church."

Won't it be cool if they say something distinctly Catholic. I.e. The cup holds the most holy blood of Christ changed by the priest? Something like that Or something about baptism of infants. There of course will be non-catholics who will weasel out of the obvious words. Will be interesting.

Division among Christians greatly detracts from his glory. But if its just a first century Christian (not detract from da significance but...) saying something generically Christianit will be oven little significance.
