Voynich Manuscript Conspiracy

In the book, How We Got the Bible by Neil Lightfoot, the author outline a very concise yet easy to understand outline of how the Bible was first presented to us and how it is able to be delivered to so many people around the world. The book is a classic among reads to do with Bible study and transformations of how we have come to understand the Bible. It contains 224 pages of facts and formation of how the bible is transcribed to us threw the scriptures. Included in the book are chapters that talk about the history of ancient books as well as manuscripts of both the Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Old Testament. Lightfoot also talks about the dead sea scrolls and the roll that they have on the history of the bible. It is important to realize that this

Firstly, a supernatural explanation of the events can be supported due to the narration of the story and

Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most profound artist, and inventors of the Italian Renaissance, was born April 15, 1452 in Tuscany Italy. He is known as the most diversely talented person, and is referred to as the Father of Paleontology. Also known as the Renaissance man, Leonardo was very imaginative an intuitive, he was filled with genius and even superhuman ideas. Although he is known primarily as a painter, his draftsman skills are close to the pique of perfection. With techniques used in art classes today, a wide range of vocabulary can be used to further execute the creative process Leonardo applied to his drafts.

In Leonardo’s early life with his father Ser Perico, who was a notary, a person who wrote wills,

Leonardo’s earliest known painting was a collaboration with Verrocchio. Leonardo’s art had shown originality and differences from other artists. It was skilled, slightly less than Verrocchio’s work.

Luke was a physician and historian who had many writings and documents. In each one, he interviewed eyewitnesses and held thorough investigations. A.N. Sherwin White researched Luke’s work and studied his sources. White found that Luke’s sources spread across thirty-two countries, fifty-four cities, and nine islands; yet, not a single flaw was found in Luke’s information. Luke’s use of primary resources also makes his writings more accurate and believable. Archaeologist Sir William Ramsay sought to disprove Luke’s teachings. He spent twenty-five years in the Holy Land participating in archaeological digs and retracing Paul’s travels. Ramsay could not disprove Luke. Another archaeologist and professor at JHU, William F. Albright, declared the Bible a reliable source of History after participating in his own research. The Bible also has texts that are scientifically accurate. In one text the shape of the earth was described as round even though most people at the time believed the earth was flat (Job 26:10). Another text says that God hangs the earth on nothing, leaving it unattached in space (Job 26:7). This is an indication of gravity long before it was discovered. The studies of modern archaeologists and the scientific accuracy of the Bible proves the Bible’s

Leonardo da Vinci was born in Vinci, Italy on April 15, 1452 to illegitimate parents. Ser Piero da Vinci of Florence and local women Caterina were then married. The only thing researchers can be absolutely sure about is that at age 15 Ser Piero apprenticed da Vinci to Andrea del Verrocchio (1435-1488) in 1467. Verrocchio was the leading artist during the early Renaissance in Florence being a sculptor, painter, goldsmith and over all a remarkable craftsman. Verrocchio was mostly concerned with how people expressed vitality in the human figure. This originated da Vinci’s because he stuck to tradition rather than rebelling.

Before Rodolphe Kasser worked on preserving the text in 2004, the Tchacos Codex, the manuscript in which the Gospel of Judas can be found, changed hands many times. At one point the codex landed into the hands of an antiques dealer who wanted an enormous amount of money. However, what he came to realize was that anyone who wanted the manuscript could not afford his price. At this point, the manuscript ended up in a safety deposit box in New York until 2000. Eventually, a Swiss individual bought the codex and finally the manuscript was reconstructed by Kasser. In 2008, scholarship began associating the final redactor of the gospel with Sethian Gnosticism. The Ohio fragments were photographed and reconstructed in 2009 leading to much of the missing text being added. By 2011, the basic established theory was that the Gospel of Judas was a second century polemic Sethian Gnostic text that was against the apostolic and Orthodox Christianity.

He existed during a time when the church reigned supreme and it was common knowledge that the Earth and its inhabitants were God’s creation, but also during a time that saw the world’s first published book and Columbus’s discovery of the new world. Da Vinci performed clandestine autopsies on as many as thirty corpses and drew the human anatomy in nearly perfect detail right under the nose of the ever watchful church. He kept journals in which he wrote left handed and backwards to keep his writings secret. Many of these journals were bound in a collection called the Codex Atlanticus (a smaller version, the Codex Leicester, was bought by Bill Gates for $30m). While there are no references made in the Codex Atlanticus that divulged his sexual orientation, there were entries regarding lustful tendencies. It is believed that Da Vinci was a homosexual; he was arrested as a young man for dealings with a male prostitute and after the incident became a closed off and untrusting person. His henceforth reserved nature likely deprived the world of unknowable

This backwards writing was only the first part of the problem presented with Leonardo's notes. Leonardo was comfortable writing in weird ways. The common misconception is that Leonardo wrote in codes, and backwards so that no one could steal his work. This, despite being a working theory, is untrue. This theory poorly represents Leonardos attitude towards his work, and how it was to be used.

Most scholars, however, dismiss Vasari’s account as apocryphal.” (“Leonardo Da Vinci.” Biography.com) Three years later, after leaving his mentors studio Leonardo gets commissioned for an altarpiece of sorts that will be in a chapel. Another three years go by and some monks ask him to paint the “Adoration of the Magi” but before either of those commissioned works began he decided to leave the

Overall, we can conclude from an internal and external perspective that the demanding evidence of authorship points to Luke. Deeply sharpening the way we can trust and read Luke 23 and the cruxifiction of Jesus. Luke was a trained physician asking medical questions into his death. Luke wanted us to know the details that were important to see that Jesus was historically executed and the events that transpired. Like all humans, facts can change perspective and understanding to which Luke was very aware of.

The Limbourg brothers began painting the manuscript in 1414 just after Pol received an expensive gift for Jean de Berry. Unfinished at his death in 1416, it was valued at 500 livres which made it the third most expensive manuscript in his collection. Given that this was unfinished and unbound the value placed on the piece was extremely high. It was further embellished in the 1440s by an anonymous painter. Then from 14850-1489 it was completed and left to what is now its present state by Jean Colombe who was commissioned by the Duke of Savoy. This is a very unusual occurrence because the patrons of illuminists often settled for unfinished manuscripts, thus the fact that this was completed after so many years is indicative of the great value placed on the

I am not sure if you would express [1] “Vitruvian Man” by Leonardo da Vinci as a work of art, undoubtedly this is a clear-cut display of scientific knowledge. This drawing by Da Vinci is about proportions in the human body. Leonardo is responsible for the sketch and the notes were provided by the Roman architect and engineer [2] Vitruvius in Book III of his dissertation De Architectura. While it can be argued that Vitruvius performed the equations, it was the artistic skill of Leonardo da Vinci that made this drawing what it was a study guide for future artist. The writing in the lower half of is essentially the proportions of man, and can only guess this is what must have inspired Da Vinci, one example is the length of the outspread arms is equal to the height of a man.

Andreas J. Kostenberger on the other hand, says in his introduction "Very possibly written by John the apostle as the culmination of his long life and ministry( critical and postmodern objections the Gospel's apostolic authorship notwithstanding)..."
