Re: Origen's interesting ideas
Origen's discussion here in Commentary on John is longer than what I just quoted: (40) And that which John calls an eternal gospel, which would properly be called a spiritual gospel, clearly presents both the mysteries presented by Christ's words and the things of which his acts were symbols, to tho...

Comments on Handwriting Analysis and the Mar Saba Letter
Forensic document examiners have a genuine area of expertise.

At the time that Tselikas was asked for his expert opinion as a paleographer, and by the same people (BAR), the professional forensic document examiner Venetia Anastasopoulou was simultaneously being asked to publish. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/wp-content/uploads/secret-mark-handwriting-res...

Comments on Handwriting Analysis and the Mar Saba Letter
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
SA, for clarity, Smith's Greek text is a "transcription" and an error there would be transcribed incorrectly.
Which is a somewhat more relevant point than just saying mistranslated.

Re: Origen's interesting ideas
There's something to this. But we ought to think in a general way about every parable, the interpretation of which has not been recorded by the evangelists, even though Jesus explained all things to His own disciples privately; [Mark 4:34] According to Heine's translation: "But someone will obj...

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
All your posting on the subject has documented conclusively that the Gospel of Mark is not anti-Marcionite.
Take a bow.
