Kapyong; Correct. I could change my mind if I saw that we could not satisfy the question without requiring a Hebrew origin. Technically both positions are at an impasse with each other since neither can produce direct information in a manner superior to the other. I lean toward the concept of it be...

Kapyong, I wish I knew Greek ... a bit late to start now. Oh, it's never too late :). Here, I have some resources saved toward that endeavor for folks to use. https://sites.google.com/site/hgcdaresources/ Congratulations ! You seem to have found an un-explored niche all for yourself. Would be excit...

Kapyong, Sadly I don't know any of those languages, I'll take your word for it. You can read a general brief summary example of the Hebraic understanding of Mark here . I don't accept all of the ideas proposed in Carmignac's view, or the Hebrew Mark position in general, but it is worth noting that ...

Quite so, Bernard, I agree. It cannot tell us a finite answer; it can only be entered for supplementary consideration along side of many others. If we choose to rely on variation as our determining gauge, we would quickly run into error. And I agree, the popularity or controversy of a text greatly d...

At the very least, we're talking about perception of what such concepts mean to those of the time in a theocratic political nation where it was claimed that the first High priest was Zadok and from which the rightful caste of Priests derive. In either regard, and again at the very least, a Hellenist...

Then it would have a different application of loanwords which made consistent employment in the text along the sympathies of the English. Mark, instead, uses Latin not as if one is translating out of Latin into something else and finding want for a word in Latin in the Greek, but instead a text with...

Kapyong, How did you come up with those places ? G.Mark is often placed in Rome. One of the primary influences in the Roman providence hypothesis is the use of Latin in Mark. My issue with this is, to me, this is akin (though not exactly) to assigning a Japanese pop song with American English loanw...

to Kapyong, In my Late Gospel hypothesis, I have G.Mark a decade before G.Matthew, yet they have similar high levels of variation. Jayson wrote: So when I say relative order to each other, it is in this way in which I am saying that the cited list is sympathetic to the variants. Most of these varia...

My apologies, sorry; that was a perspective of the DSS group since the question was in relation to the DSS copy of Daniel, and then the citation I offered was in reference to the dating of the DSS content. So the relation to Daniel in this would be in a manner of the relationship of the DSS timeline...

Reflect on what you know of the DSS and consider this possibility. The Maccabees brought about many things, and that's another story, but two relevant events were eventually what would become the Hellenist party and the Hasmonean dynasty. Overall, this did not go very well with at least some portion...
