Some Basic Facts About Christianity (As I Eat Lunch)

My wife is on a diet for our trip to the French Open. I just get slimmer tagging along with her cooking. She made this barely passable (whole wheat) macaroni and cheese (without real cheese). So I jazzed it up with some fresh cream, parmigiano cheese and fresh crab. So as I am eating my unkosher lun...

Re: Ken's Curious Understanding of Probability With Respect to the Mar Saba Letter

Maybe it really does all come to character. Maybe I have bad character and so I persist in debating someone who has a clear pathos about this situation. But character is destiny as they say and I will persist. In the Academic Group Ken has apparently "solved" the problem of his earlier sta...

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

And on my suggestion that Tselikas had the original MS. There is no proof for it. If anything Tselikas has consistently told me he can't find it. Nevertheless I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibilities, as he found the book and as he has consistently stated that he is "sure it is som...

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

And look at the Duke conspiracy theory repeating past errors. https://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=168778#p168778 Why is Ken again appealing to the lowest possible images to make his case? This is what Carlson did in his book with regards to the "forger's tremor" and even David ...

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

Another point. When I was young I was so weird that people inevitably assumed I was only child. Because I was taken to what they started to call a "gifted program" I didn't go to the same school as my brother. We didn't spend a lot of time together from grade 4 onward because we went to se...

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

Forgery seems to come up a lot in C K Chesterton's Father Brown. Quesnell seems to have modeled himself as a real life Father Brown. https://books.google.com/books?id=pK3RDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA221&dq=%22father+brown%22+%22forgery%22&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_sear...

I have to respect an expertise here with your commitment to tracking down all these stories. Thanks.

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

But two men discussing another man being gay and then one of the men interjects: a woman who almost married Smith, but whom Smith finally refused to marry on the grounds that he - then a Protestant - could not marry a Catholic. All the while Quesnell likens himself and Flusser to a fictional Catholi...

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

And of course, as fate would have it, there was a Father Brown detective story that touched upon forgery: "Well," said the secretary, "Muggleton looks a dingy down-and-out-sort of cove to me. There's no story but his about what happened on the pier, and his story consists of a giant w...
