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

You think three tents represent spirit, water and blood? Do you know the classical definition of “ad hominem” - to the man? 9Burgon uses this technique in discussing Hort’s recension theories.) This question is in that form, it allows the assumption of your argument. Often an ad hominem argument of...

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

In the four sections at issue the meaning are simple and clear,

The three (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) are one.

As Potamius saw in his Bible in the heavenly witnesses verse.

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

All silly stuff, as I never claimed to be the source for the Conti text, the reference was new to me until recently. When the commentary numbering issue was pointed out, I took the proper action. All a big yawn. In fact many references were new to me, including Isaac the Jew, also before Priscillian...

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

Psuedo-Scholars (sic) who accept your corrupt critical TR text begin with pseudo-CT-quackery :thumbup: presuppositions, limiting the value of your verse referencing. :oops: This shows that you are a dishonest textual broker. Plus your tepid attempt at turnabout argumentation shows that you can not ...

Romans 9:5 - God blessed for ever

And I have five posts on p.7, one where I quote Brian in another land. https://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=129912#p129912 Hovever, let’s skip down to the more cordial direct response to spin by brianw on p.7. Mr. Avery's inquiry involves remarks by Spin that θεὸς εὐλογητὸς involves two n...

Romans 9:5 - God blessed for ever

Romans 9:5 fascinating discussion! This is taken directly from an earlier thread: Messiah is Son of God - starts on p.5 https://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1578 And am attempting to pull out the grammatical substance, with a minimal amount of the doctrinal. =============== spin -...

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

The general theme of the contra position is that the heavenly witnesses was an interpolation by the orthodox in support of their position in the Arian controversies. Thus they would like to ignore all the references before Priscillian, and have had a wide range of false accusations as to the origin ...

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

There is no need to say more because the argument of Potamius using invisible allegory argument is simply too absurd to waste more time and energy. Potamius never quotes “spirit, water and blood”, which would be the key to a real allegory claim. Conti made errors in verse numbers. It becomes best to...
