Short PB - B-RAID Diagram 5 - Real world MSS

To show a real-world example of B-RAID, we will use two separate manuscripts, which both contain Matthew 26:29-35. Both manuscript images are from ‘The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts’ and were dated to the 3rd century. While these demonstrate how damaged manuscripts can appear, and how B-RAID can apply to them, manuscripts in this condition would not have been primarily utilized to copy from or to preserve the Word of God.

There is an Unbroken Manuscript Chain-of-Custody (UM-CoC) that we believe were utilized instead (in conjunction with B-RAID). See the unbroken Chain-of-Custody (CoC) for manuscripts in the session 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_uM3cLDifk&list=PL0qwkdBdTcQ9r4QG2XyrqCSDo9l9b0t3Z&index=3

On the left of the image, we have P37, which is more intact as compared to P53 on the right. Since the verses in P53 overlap P37, we can potentially use P37 to reconstruct P53, or use P53 to clarify the faded text within P37.

However, the B-RAID system cannot function if its purpose is ignored (or done away with) in favor of faulty translations or agendas. If a single person or organization convinces everyone to abandon B-RAID and the Unbroken Manuscript Chain-of-Custody (UM-CoC) systems (which is an occurrence we will later show that happened in 1881), then erroneous additions, subtractions, and changes to the biblical text can occur. (See TheTorchbearerSeries.com for full details).

Below are two examples of what happens when B-RAID and UM-CoC are abandoned:

Codex Sinaiticus - Legitimate or Forgery - The Suspects 11x17 (there is also a 8.5x11 version available on the website)
