This is a rough response because I’m short on time. It's beautiful and terribly spot on, so I wouldn't worry if I were you I can't help but find verbatim agreement all along the way: whatever is in your Marcion, is in our Galatians A lot of it is the same text, which proves a genetic relationship. ...

For the purpose of close comparison and study, I have overlaid canonical Galatians 4:21-31, the so-called allegory of Sarah and Hagar, onto Marcion's version of it, as represented in Tertullian's Adversus Marcionem 5.4.8 . Other witnesses to Marcion's text are not considered, for now. I think this ...

Don't get me wrong: Christianity is anti-semitic in nature, and that must be eradicated (and naturally that all resides in its true origins, namely Thomas and *Ev). But I am (not so) curious to see in which corner of the cancel culture this will end up Yes but the apostle started it. Before him it ...

Wow. I have not engaged with any AI so far, I'm a real laggard. I'm well aware of the awesome power of AI, and have played with fluffy software and Model Driven Architecture a long time ago

Thanks Neil. Amazing

Jerk out the foundational cornerstone of the gentiles being of Sarah and the Jews being of Hagar and you have collapsed Paul's entire intellectual ground breaking structural framework, leaving him with nothing to stand upon. Paul's unique revelation that he contends came from God and not from man, ...

I'd love to have an interactive translation of the Odes, but it'll have to wait I guess. Yes, the Odes are spiritual above all - and Paul most certainly no Hebrew, Israelite or "of the seed of Abraham". It's easy to rework spiritual texts into religious ones, Thomas and his canonical cous...

Augustine TMK is the first exegete who studied the texts in depth and proclaimed direct textual dependence of one gospel on another. So Augustine could have solved the possible problem by saying this is evidence that Matthew or John preceded Mark. We have already shown that Mark was dependent on Lu...

You can do nothing but read the texts, and nothing but the texts. Statements like "he fell out with the founder" are not only completely irrelevant, they are hearsay, gossip, unsubstantiated nonsense and they likely were made in order to derail, disinform, "to fake news da f*ck out o...

It is more than astonishing how intricate this translation is - it can only be Deepl I do predict that we'll have the same for manuscripts in a decade or 2, perhaps adjust in this one we'll see the first applications: auto-OCR without fault, and auto-translate in the same way that this text got tran...

Brilliant. repromissio: counter-promise, guarantee. yes. "qui vero ex libera per repromissione" - dunno how anything was guaranteed for the free version there. Liberi is awkward, as it means free persons - I don't see how that can be translated with children. It's good to have both transla...
