which these two manuscripts differ the one from the other, than two consecutive
verses in which they entirely agree.

These differences are much more than the errors of scribes, they obviously differ because
each was edited by different scribes. In the manuscripts themselves there is obvious editing that
has gone on. Tests were done on manuscripts of the Alexandrian text-type using ultra violet
lamps and computer technology and the tests revealed that the original writings had been erased
in places.
1356
In Vaticanus there has been editing done that is easy visible even to the untrained
observer.
1357
Vaticanus is also missing pages 1519-1536 containing Hebrews 9:14 through
Revelation. These pages were replaced by a 15th century minuscule supplement known as (no.
1957). Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are are not complete copies of the Bible. They are missing many
chapters and even books of the Bible and they also have other added chapters. The books they
have added differ between the two versions. Below is a summary of the missing and added books
[Codex] Aleph-"Sinaiticus:" written more than 200 years after the completion of the
New Testament. It omits Genesis 23:19-24:46, Numbers 5:27-7:20, 1 Chronicles 9:27-19:17, all
of Exodus, Joshua, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, Hosea, Amos, Micah, Ezekiel, Daniel and
Judges. It contains the New Testament Apocrypha.
[Codex] B -"Vaticanus:" It omits all off Genesis 1:1 - 46:28, all of Psalms 105:26-
137:6, and parts of 1 Samuel, I Kings and Nehemiah. It contains the Apocrypha books of the Old
Testament.

The Apocrypha
The Apocrypha are books that were not considered inspired by the early Church fathers;
many are considered heretical. For this reason the earliest Hebrew and Greek manuscripts did not
contain them. This is why the Peshitto Version and Italic Version of the Bible, which date back
almost to the time of the Apostles, do not contain the Apocrypha; neither do any of the other
versions based on the Received Text. Misguided persons and more likely unbelievers added the
books of the Apocrypha to the Alexandrian Text.
There are a total of 30 to 35 or more books of the Apocrypha. Seven of these books have
been accepted by the Catholic Church and are included in their Bible, The New American Bible.
Two of the most heretical books of the Apocrypha are The Shepherd of Hermas and the Epistle
of Barnabas; these books are found in Sinaiticus. The Shepherd of Hermas and the Epistle of
Barnabas both contradict the holy word of God. The Shepherd of Hermas (Hermas) goes even
further and provides another gospel; another way of salvation.
Contrary to Gods word, Hermas provides the following instruction:
We are to give ourselves up to the beast.
1359
We are to bear (bear means to carry or have as identification) the name of the son.
1360
Although we are to bear the name of the son, we are not told what this name is.
We are told to bear the names of the twelve virgins. Those that do not bear the name of
the son and the name of the virgins shall not be able to enter the kingdom of God.
1361
We are to receive the spirits of the virgins.
1362
We are to keep the twelve commandments perfectly. We are instructed: If thou set it
