Re: Ken's Latest Post in the Academic Forum is LITERALLY Insane
The Greek term that corresponds to "ligature" in the context of handwriting analysis is: συνδετικό (syndetiko). This word comes from "συνδέω" (syndeō), meaning "to connect" or "to bind," which aptly describes the function of ligatures in connecting letters in ...

In handwriting analysis, a "ligature" refers to the connecting strokes that join two or more letters in cursive writing.

Re: Ken's Latest Post in the Academic Forum is LITERALLY Insane
It doesn't look like the same ligature? I am not clear what you mean by this.

Re: Origen, the Alexandrian Tradition and Secret Mark
Here is the situation as best I can see it. 1. Paul wrote references to "my gospel" (c. 50 - 70 CE) 2. The Marcionites said that he also wrote the original gospel 3. The Marcionites took the references in the letters of Paul to "my gospel" to refer to the gospel which was part of...

Re: Origen, the Alexandrian Tradition and Secret Mark
Most frequently , Paul uses ɛvayyéλov in an absolute and articulated manner , not further defined by a genitive construction ... In the remaining cases, where it is defined by a genitive construct, we find three recurring constructions: (τὸ) εὐαγγέλιον (τοῦ) θεοῦ,464 τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ,465 an...

Re: Origen, the Alexandrian Tradition and Secret Mark
Eusebius argues that Paul's "my gospel" refers to the Gospel of Luke: HE 3.4.7: "And they say how Paul was accustomed to remember the Gospel according to him [Luke] whenever γράφων (graphōn, "writing") as if a certain Gospel is of his own, he says, κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιόν µου (ka...

Re: Origen, the Alexandrian Tradition and Secret Mark
Even though Marcion and his followers doubtlessly would fulfill his definition of “the heterodox,” Origen occasionally refers to them specifically. In one of these passages, he mentions that Paul’s usage of τὸ εὐαγγέλιόν μου (“my gospel”) to refer to the contents of his teaching has been misundersto...

Re: Origen, the Alexandrian Tradition and Secret Mark
Harnack: In chapter 1, verse 7, Marcion added the words 'κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιόν μου' (according to my gospel), see Romans 2:16, to the statement that there is no other gospel beside it. He was keen to mark the identity of the gospel with the gospel of Paul at the beginning of the letter, thereby excludi...

Re: Ken's Latest Post in the Academic Forum is LITERALLY Insane
I quit. I thought human beings were dishonest. I wanted to believe that the limits of the dishonesty of participants at this forum was simply to deflect uncomfortable facts with bullshit. I was willing to accept this. Ken crossed the line today. The idea that the "real scholars" at the for...
