Re: KJV Tampering as a precursor to Sinaiaticus Fraud

re: Steven Avery, Sun Feb 04, 2024 6:30 pm Your proposal has not been "ignored" in "sensible scholarship." For example, a fine textual scholar, Tommy Wasserman, already responded to and countered your apparently misleading characterization, assuming he was accurately quoted, in t...

Your, Hueller, mere sloppiness is, again,
misrepresentation.
