Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

Another thing that I don't get about this Duke University theory. Smith is a completely closet homosexual who guards his "real" sexual identity with an iron wall. What better way of keeping your secret safe than by forging a document where you let slip out that Jesus is gay? He's this comp...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

2. Even though Tselikas is the authority in handwriting from this period. I see that this is first of all a quite thorny theological problem, >>> and since I am not a theologian but only a philologist (neohellenist) >>> I cannot help you in all matters you deal with. >>> Anyway, my impression is dif...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

I am going to start to share what experts on the Byzantine period say about Tselikas. Emails randomly found in my email server: 1. September 14, 2014 Dear Mr Huller, I do not know anyone who specializes in hands of this period, except Mr Tselikas. All best wishes, Ch. D. Charalambos Dendrinos Senior...

So your argument is that since the pilot of an airplane might make a mistake once and a while airlines shouldn't prefer pilots with more expertise or more familiarity with flying certain types of aircraft.

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

Well perhaps with that analogy yes. But I wrote: Do I think that Mark Goodacre would forge a text to prove Q didn't exist? No I would never believe that. I would attack anyone who suggested such a proposition with almost the same vigor I have defended Morton Smith. I stand by that. I think Goodacre ...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

I consider Marcion one of my only areas of expertise. I don't go along with the rest of the Marcionophiles. I don't think we have a clue what the text of Marcion looked like and I have argued with the proponents of "Marcion studies" here at the forum with just as much vigor as with this to...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

In antiquity there was a divide between "pro-canon" and "anti-canon" with respect to the documents Irenaeus collected as authoritative in the Church. Until the discovery of the Letter to Theodore there were only whispers of alternatives to the canon. Now with the letter there is ...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

By "click" do you mean "clique"? As a Canadian by birth I always draw attention to the difficulty Americans have with French words (no "foyer" does not rhyme with "lawyer"). As for proposed gospel sources, extra L for Luke and extra M for Matthew are sometime...

Re: The Rampant Forgery of Written Documents in the Greek Monasteries

I still say, look at the genre. Matthew is undoubtedly a pseudepigraphon and a forgery. Luke is a pseudepigraphon and a forgery. John is a pseudepigraphon and a forgery. Acts is a pseudepigraphon and a forgery. The some of the letters of Paul are Catholic forgeries others are largely falsified. It's...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

It's not "criticizing" an Englishman for having an English reaction. I am Canadian originally. Canadians are more mannerly than Americans because of the British influence. But as I always say to people being polite isn't the same thing as being nice. You're not getting the point about sing...
