What is the oldest written record of the Bible? let us begin this answer
by stating that there are no original mansuscripts( called autographs)
of any books of the Bible; all have been lost or destroyed. All we have
are copies. Old copies, but copies nonetheless. Up until the discovery
of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947, the oldest Old Testament manuscript was
dated from around the year A.D. 900. The Dead Sea Scrolls have been
dated from around the time of Christ,
give or take 100 years and contain parts from every book of the Hebrew
Bible, except Esther.These scrolls include parts of many of the
deuterocanonical books (Sirach, 1 & 2 Maccabees , Judith, Wisdom,
Tobit and Baruch) as well, all in Hebrew. The oldest New Testament
manuscripts are in Greek and date from around AD 350. There are many
reasons for the destruction of early manuscripts including the facts
that they were written on papyrus or animal parchment which degrade
quickly; when pagans invaded a town, they burned the churches and church
libraries; and as namuscripts became worn, they were copied and then
then worn copy was everently destroyed. God bless. ^j^

Inspiritional quotes
The Hearts that are the happiest have lots of LOVE inside!

~~ John 13:11

Since love grows within you, so beauty grows.
For love is the beauty of the soul.
~Saint Augustine
God loves each one of us as though there were only one of us.
- St. Augustine
Keep your eyes focused on what is right, and look straight ahead to what is good. - Proverbs 4:25
Important to stay focused, especially when you're having a a tough day. Don't let frustration steal even sixty seconds from you.
Instead choose JOY!
Smile at insults, laugh away anger, pay back arrogance with humility and your soul will forever be at peace. Remember, no one can hurt you without your consent.
Love is like the five loaves and two fishes... it doesn't start to multiply until you give it away. Plant love in the garden of your heart with great care... feed and nurture it, then share the abundance with those around you, and you will never go hungry.
Life is all about the little decisions you make everyday. You cant change the decisions of the past, but every new day is another opportunity to make the right ones.
If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous; be happy anyway.
Tip of the day: How to market yourself, change your photo on your profile or update the status anything exciting going on in your life to keep yourself visible in life and business! Share your LOVE, they will feel you!
God has no need of your money, but the poor have. You give it to the poor, and God receives it.
Faith is a wonderful gift of God. We need to nourish it through prayer, study and reflection and be willing to share it with our family and friends!

Hello, my name is Maureen. I am a tea-aholic.
I began collecting teapots, teacups and saucers in the late 1990’s. I collect what I call “all thing tea.” There are a few tea things I can pass up, but not many. I buy tea things while traveling, at antique malls, online or more. I am always looking for tea décor and collectables. Several friends and family members tell me they think of me when they see anything to do with tea. As result, I have received few tea themed gifts. I love them all.
Teacup-a-Story
Share a picture of your favorite teacup and saucer; describe it and tell it's history (or make up a story about it's past). Why is it meaningful to you? This would be a good place to share about the details of your teacup collection if you have one.

Catholic Bible
Someone mentioned that Catholics never read bible.
We, Catholics, use the Bible a lot!
In Mass, Prayers, Hymnals and more. We have Readings for everyday, Sundays, Holy Day of Obligations and through out the YEAR!
I have more than 30 bibles here in my room. I use NAB and NIV the most.
