Would someone only reading the Septuagint be able to distinguish between the different Hebrew sibilants? The only people who needed to distinguish Hebrew sibilants were the translators and they did it a hellovalot, rendering them quite consistently, so that readers didn't have to. An interesting &q...

Philo's evidence would also be quite useful here as he talks of εκκλησιαι in terms that evoke the notion of the θιασος, but after the effort to refind the citation for Josephus's θιασοι, I don't have the energy. Philo - {**Yonge's title, A Treatise on the Principle that the Worse is Accustomed to b...

Lol. It's fine to impress the rubes with fancy words like "infix" and "morpheme," but everyone can see that you're not even saying what "the morphological issue" is. If you care to cite an authoritative lexicon or grammar of koine Greek to the effect that this type of ...

Now for the Lukan source: Mt 26 Mk 14 Lk 22 1 Cor 11 26 ...Jesus took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, λαβων ο ιησους αρτον ευλογησας εκλασεν 22 ...he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, λαβων αρτον ευλογησας εκλασεν 19 Then he took a loaf of bread, and when ...

You seriously have to do better than this. Well that's condescending. I guess I'm not surprised. A person who is constantly saying "there is no alternative to my interpretation!" is, when challenged, not likely to be fair or polite, much less interested in alternative perspectives. At lea...

I frown at everyone who even mentions Q, let alone bases anything on it as it simply doesn't exist, but for the rest I agree completely You keep frowning. But do try to understand the chronological significance that was indicated. The shared material between Mt & Lk indicates a commonality betw...

Paul's ritual meal has been turned into a Last Supper with the close citation from Luke's gospel. The dependence of that on Mark is evident, so the origin of 1 Cor 11:23b-25 is based on that chain, Mark > Luke > 1 Cor. One cannot justify any other trajectory based on a linguistic analysis of 1 Cor ...

1. Paul doesn't evince any knowledge of Nazareth. Q doesn't evince any knowledge of Nazareth. And the synoptics share no common reference to Nazareth. These simple pointers show that Nazareth was not in the earliest Jesus traditions . (Whereas Capernaum is found in Q and in the Marcan descendents' ...

The subject we were dealing with was the relationship between 1 Cor 11:23b-25 and the last supper accounts in the synoptic gospels!

We need evidence, not assertions.
