By the way, I recently read on your old blog. I liked it.

I have previously indicated that the offending 14:28 is under some pressure as original based on Literary Criticism (and if 14:28 is late than 16:7 which is dependent on 14:28 probably is too): Hey Joe, where are you going with that gun in your hand ?..... ...

One problem with the 'minor agreements' is the exact nature of the original text of the Gospels. For example in Luke chapter 6 verse 5 the ancient manuscripts are split between the order in Matthew and the order in Mark for the saying about the son of man being Lord of the Sabbath. In general, beli...

Clearly some folks felt that belief in the divinity of Jesus of Nazareth was absurd: Origen wrote Κατὰ Κέλσου, Contra Celsum, in the third century, 248 CE, if we can accept that dating. There would have been no need to write such a document, had there not been a significant quantity of doubters Thi...

Thanks for this nice overview, David. Great!.

I give thanks and would like to add some math LXX-Lev 24:5 And ye shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves (δώδεκα ἄρτους); each loaf shall be of two tenth parts. LXX- 1 Kings (1 Sam) 21:3-4 And David said to the priest ... And now if there are under thy hand five loaves (πέντε ἄρτοι), gi...
