Ah, so King James is your final authority. Interesting...

LOL, even at the offered prices of $65,000 - $2 Million, those are still translated copies!
I didn't see anything on that website penned in person by the Apostle Paul. Strike one.

http://bibleworks.com/ <-- bibleworks has compiled all bible texts into software, as well as numerous concordances. I plan on buying that amazing peice of software in due time. Literally EVERYTHING, all translations, all texts, the ultimate bible resource.

LOL, go buy all the "software" you want, it's still comprised of translated copies. From my bubble I can tell you that any single mother, jobless tramp or curious teenager can go down and for a few bucks own today's "ultimate bible resource," it's called the KJV and it won't cost you the price of a house. Check with your local Bible-believing church, they'll probably give you one for free. That's strike two.

Or something IDENTICAL? You mean a copy?

Well which was it man, A COPY OR THE ORIGINAL????
The sad part is, your failure to recognize the real PRESERVATION effort is not going on in some glass case or document vault where people have to pay $65,000 to own a translated copy. It's being preserved right now, today, for EVERYONE TO ENJOY AND LEARN.
Strike three... YOU'RE OUT! I tried to tell you, don't say you weren't warned.

For the great isaiah scroll (written by Isaiah himself),

WOW! I didn't know that we actually had the autograph manuscript of Isaiah! Why didn't someone tell me?! And all this time I have been falsely chiding the "original-onlyists" about their lack of evidence. Too bad the reference that [banned] gave does not actually SAY THAT! Oh well. Such is to be expected of the MVer.
