Yes, you have provided more true facts that do not have bearing on the question at hand (which is: Did Mr. Combs lie about Greek manuscripts?).

Yes. Mr. Moorman lists Greek manuscript # 2049 specifically. Plus if you looked at the N.T. translation of the Sinaitic manuscript you would see that they translated it as:"though he is yet present". Now how does this differ in meaning from "and yet is"?
This was in the initial post- "There is a 1918 version called The New Testament Translation from the Sinaitic Manuscript, done by Henry Anderson. It clearly says: “when they see the beast that was, and is not, THOUGH HE IS YET PRESENT.”
You can see this translation online here:

In addition to this, Mr. Combs was either lying or flat out did not do his homework as the Chairman of New Testament studies of a Christian Seminary should when he stated that ALL Greek manuscripts read "and shall be". This is a lie.
Hodges and Farstad's "Majority" text, which I have right here in front of me, clearly shows that there are many manuscripts (the 31 mentioned by Moorman) that do not read "and shall be" but "and is" which is the same meaning as that found in the Bible you seem so eager to have us question and doubt.
