Re: Greek Monks Who Thought the Letter to Theodore was in the Mar Saba Monastery Before Morton Smith Arrives
I am merely giving my opinion, Peter, that, given the huge publicity about this, that some reader would have found it, were it extant. That is apparently different than your opinion. OK, two opinions, then. I am not accusing you of dishonesty, and I hope the same applies to me. Thanks. I appreciate...

So why would I ask these questions? Because I am dishonest and refuse to admit the obvious that it must not exist?StephenGoranson wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 9:55 am If a pre-1976 monastic publication has that, by 2024, would not someone by now have found it?

Re: The Temptation Story in Mark is anti-marcionite

Re: The Temptation Story in Mark is anti-marcionite
WRONG! It's not clear enough to settle a debate with a Basilidian. It is clear enough to settle a debate with a Marcionite . Please like the difference. No. How can you answer 'no'? We are said that Marcion interpreted ad litteram the OT. The allegorical expedient was not available to him. It was u...

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"
I made an earlier post in a similar thread here To paraphrase: Tselikas did not strictly speaking establish that the handwriting is later than the 18th century, What Tselikas did claim to establish is that although the handwriting is in one sense an 18th century Greek cursive, the scribe is not wri...

Re: Greek Monks Who Thought the Letter to Theodore was in the Mar Saba Monastery Before Morton Smith Arrives
A receipt from the transfer, signed by Dourvas among others, has recently surfaced. The paleographer Agamemnon Tselikas discovered it in the archives of the Patriarchal Library in Jerusalem. The document describes the letter of Clement as “unpublished and without any doubts about its authenticity.”...

Re: The Temptation Story in Mark is anti-marcionite
Mark makes it clear the identity of the god who sent the spirit who defended Jesus against the temptations in the wilderness who otherwise would have won his human nature: And a voice came from heaven: “ You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased .” At once the Spirit sent him out into...
