Constantine was a pagan and turned the Churchians into minions of his Mithras/Molech cult: Saturday into Sunday Passover into OEaster Hebrews into Heathens The patriarch of Rome into the Pontifex Maximus And then the Churchunists turned Paul from an apostate into an Apostle (sic.) The bishops at the...

I'm not sure how you'll get a manuscript C14 dated in the Wezt: they refused repeated requests to C14 date the Codex Simonides a.k.a. Sinaiticus which is a known forgery. It was used as the basis to rewrite most of the churches bibles in the world; perhaps the reason for the forgery. It's the bigge...

In this case it developed from an honest mistake. They're cited in (thanks LC): https://brentnongbri.com/2023/02/22/radiocarbon-analysis-of-papyrus-and-parchment-manuscripts-a-list/ 2014.

The standard account (which may be dubious in detail) of the discovery of the Nag Hammadi texts can be found here .

Now that we've got the canon pretty well worked out, I've started a new thread on What were the beliefs of Early Ebionaen Christianity?.

This thread will continue for canon questions.

Please stop talking about Acts. Acts is not history. Acts is fiction. No time for this nonsense. You seem to have a "throw the baby out with the bathwater" approach to Christian writings, and to me that would be like disregarding Josephus because of his faults. I suspect Acts was written ...

Quantity doesn't equate quality, Dick Although he's spot on about Ehrman, of course ... That's the order, and all of it can be demonstrated, and that the canonicals are dependent on Thomas has been demonstrated as nauseam already. What else needs to be done? And who gives a damn about "Paul&qu...

And that is why I keep telling everyone that the only way to research this specific area and field is via the original manuscripts, in their original language: not because I like to say that, on the contrary: I like, love and desire to level all thresholds and to give everyone the chance and opport...
