In order for that to be true all these things would have to be true. 1. the scribe's habit of writing terminal νος with a special ligature was abandoned. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/wp-content/uploads/agamemnon-palaeographic-observations-1.pdf 2. the scribe made an error in accenting the sig...

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...

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...

Andrew restores my faith in humanity.

You're simply not capable of even pretending to see any other point of view than what you have decided is the truth. So in this case, the argument that there was a book of Clement of Alexandria in the Mar Saba library only works if you assume a priori that Morton Smith is the forger. What you can't ...

Please pretend that you are capable of seeing that there would be no volume of Clement of Alexandria available for an eighteenth century scribe to use. A thumbs up sign perhaps if you are incapable of typing words to this effect?

Deflection. Please you can never accuse anyone at this forum of this "sin." You are the king of deflection at Early Writings since you have only two settings with regards to posting at the forum on the letter. On topic and off topic accusations that Morton Smith did it. Your off topic comm...
