But there is a religious significance for eight , though. is a iteration of Isaiah . An eight-fold holy discrepancy is not unusual, or unexpected. Do you have any examples of texts being adjusted based on this "not .. unexpected" significance? And if you do, are they from a much later Byz...
The fallacy is in your court, since this is an overall manuscript reference, so one being lacuna in Revelation does not affect the other mss. like Alexandrinus. The statement also includes all languages. So we can know a priori what the manuscripts that have this and the surrounding passages outrig...
If the Octoechos is the source for the eight holies, it is highly unlikely to be an early source.The eight-mode system only has its beginnings around the time of John of Damascus (see the reference for Pseudo-John of Damascus on the page). The dots on the extra Holies would also reflect this type o...
Should we not add the lack of a Jesus origin story, including genealogy, as an additional Markan reader's presumption element. If we stick with actual extant writings, this would make Luke and/or Matthew circulating before Mark No. Those elements depend upon the kind of story being told; their abse...
Rather the trollish accusation. You're confusing me with you. Ben Smith is quite capable of speaking up if he objects to my presentation of the evidences, coming from a full Bible believer position, including the authenticity of the traditional ending of Mark. A position rejected even by the majori...
Just a reminder to the readers here who may not know the lack of education of Steven Avery...... 1) he's a KJVOist fundamentalist (which is why he's twisted your words, Mr Smith, and is quoting you elsewhere in his favor - because that's the type of sleaze ball you're dealing with) 2) he can't read ...
You mean the one who on the TC Yahoo board literally got something 100% wrong? You might try to at least indicate what you felt was wrong with either translation of Uspenky. Since you can't read Russian, how would you know anyway? (You keep pretending to know more than you do - and I'm going to con...
You are most welcome to place here whatever reviews you felt were strong. Why? You've already gone off half cocked about all of them you're aware of. But just like Daniels, you make sure never to get caught actually answering the question asked. In point of fact, the gentlemen involved with discuss...
The Zosimas Moscow Bible is a Greek Bible, I have not seen any Russian in it at all. This would be the Greek you don't read? Or a different kind? We did utilize both a layman and professional Russian translator when needed, e.g. with Uspensky. You mean the one who on the TC Yahoo board literally go...
