Re: Codex Sinaiticus - the white parchment Friderico-Augustanus

Was reading Tommy Wassermann's Facebook page today. Steve's name came up. Lots of love for Steve in the academic community . :banghead: Yes, he's known as the head of the Tin Foil Hat wearing brigade. He's soon to star in the "Wizard of Ave." He's going to play all the parts - no brains, ...

I see from various web sources that you base your dating on stained pages and torn pages.

Have any professional textual critics responded to your hypothesis with a refutation?
No, because textual critics don't wear tinfoil hats and are not King James Onlyists.

Re: Potamius of Lisbon references the heavenly witnesses in writing to Athanasius

Thank you Andrew for modifying your position. You tend to be more a thinker, and quite reasonable, unlike the textcrits :). Now THAT is what's called an ad hominem. Learn what one actually is. I'll check out your reference. ADDED: p. 357, seeing how the "three are one" sections are simila...

Re: Potamius of Lisbon references the heavenly witnesses in writing to Athana

Hi Andrew, For analysis, lets allow the theory that the Bible texts in 360 AD only had the earthly witnesses. What if we turn this around and ask you for ACTUAL EVIDENCE that this passage existed IN GREEK (the original language) in 360 AD? THAT is how historical inquiry occurs. Not by pretending a ...

Re: Potamius of Lisbon references the heavenly witnesses in writing to Athanasius

I will respond to Mr. Avery Spencer's assertions by citing him in bold and replying. Potamius of Lisbon, in the mid-4th century, involved in the Arian controversies, repeatedly referenced the heavenly witnesses verse. An assertion that will be interesting to see the evidence if any exists. Potamius ...

Re: Coloring the Truth: Sinaiticus

Actually, you are the only "Christian:" poster I run into that is frequently vulgar. "professional palaeographers that have studied Sinaiticus". You're the one who - for reasons known only to you - has decided to make your mark in the world insulting people and being a hypocrite...

Re: Why Paul is missing in the Gospels

Which was done by me (although you tried to move the goalposts :) ) but you abandoned your claim. You deviate by placing the gospel composition before the letters. Even traditionalist accept the destruction of the temple references place the gospels after 66 CE. There is a long list of New Testamen...
