I sought to juxtapose the translation offered by Jerome for your third quote, to the translation offered by the same author, in the same Latin language, to a Hebrew word, unknown to me. Perhaps everyone else on planet earth already knows the answer. Alternatively, some of us were not born with the ...

Extreme conformity by all sources spanning hundreds of years? ....or was there extreme censorship, suppression, and editing?
What ever happened to authors and writings that did not conform?
Do we really need hire some rocket scientists to figure this oh so puzzling situation out?

Which is the oldest manuscript (or inscription) on planet Earth with the full name "Jesus" on it, and when is it dated? With all due respect. I know of no person participating on this Forum who has investigated this particular matter more extensively or in more depth than yourself. If wit...

Is the name above all names and the games they played with numbers part of something else? Magical thinking about words, numbers and grammar? And over time these games had people attached to what were arcane rituals, as practiced by Pythagorus, Newton... Some of these numbers were very powerful, li...

There will never be a reconciliation as long as the factions continue as opposing dictatorships. Dictating down to exactly what words and prayers individual believers are required to recite to please the petty theological politics of the parties of pyramid control lunatics that can thrive only upon ...

My question is: which is our oldest Greek papyrus where Jesus is cited by its complete name instead of IS / IC / IY? Not an easy question to answer because the oldest Christian Greek papyrus only exist in fragments. The evidence seems to indicate that the transition from nomina sacrum to regular us...

The 400 year retrojected Messiah 'prophecy' remaining just as late, contrived, and every bit phony as it is with the Jeezuz reading.

Ezra of Tanakh fame, and the author(s)/poser(s) of 2nd Esdras are separated by about 500 years. Ezra of the OT certainly was not the author of that steaming 1st century pile called 2nd Esdras. The 'four hundred years' part is a weak attempt by the writer(s) to retroject their belated 'prophecy' to t...
