>I am of the opinion that the Greek NT portions of the three codices (Vaticanus, Alexandrinus, and Sinaiticus) are the easiest point to start from.
>It's not that complex. We know the full meaning of all of the words used in Ancient Greek and we have numerous complete texts since even before ~500 BC to corroborate their meanings.
The complexity exists, for example:
John 13:1
Πρὸ δὲ τῆς ἑορτῆς τοῦ πάσχα εἰδὼς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτιἦλθεν αὐτοῦ ἡ ὥρα ἵναμεταβῇ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμουτούτου πρὸς τὸν πατέρα,ἀγαπήσας τοὺς ἰδίους τοὺςἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, εἰς τέλοςἠγάπησεν αὐτούς.
The emboldened words are not Greek and will not be found in a Greek dictionary.
>We have been living a lie for many thousands of years. I think it was purposeful manipulation on the part of Constantine during the institution of the church (circa 300 AD) to remove and destroy the Greek texts and replace them with the bastardized translations of the Vetus Latina and later the Vulgate.
>The damage was done there and ALL of modern Christianity from that point on has been following purposefully twisted, perverse, and degenerate teachings.
Constantine is not the bad guy. He was Christian most of his life, long before he was Emperor. The promoted histories of Constantine were authored by his enemies. Paid for writing, like Eusebius, modified the life of Constantine after his death to promote the Senate's goals. Most Senators worshipped false gods.
