You don't read a lot of Coptic
I don't understand. Do you think Coptic is a language which developed independently of Christianity?

Fixed that for you
What understandings aren't assumptions? What assumptions aren't understandings? Not sure of the distinction.

I treat social intercourse like sexual intercourse. There has to be a compelling reason to do either.

Do you really believe anything that the Falsifying Fathers claim?
Yes I do. I don't think anyone lies unless they have to. Lying takes a lot of work, a lot of memory. People generally only lie out of necessity as a last resort.

You don't read a lot of Coptic, do you? Or Latin? Syriac?
Aside from being embarrassed I used 'nomen sacrum' in that sentence rather than 'nomina sacra' they originated in Greek. There is no Greek-like declension in Coptic.

@ Martijn. Hey bud, that text that you posted earlier, 1 Corinthians, viewtopic.php?p=135305#p135305 has a lot of missing sections. Is this a translation still in progress? If not, is there a copy that has the missing sections?

Thanks for any help that you can give.

Lane

Also, did you message me at edu recently with a email address?

I give up. See attached

Pre-formatted, verified for missing verse numbers - just grep on it -e Chapter -e BOOK -e searchstring and it's ready to post the results inhere with BOOK bold and Chapter underlinded

This is the proper Greek but naturally this format allows for a simple English search string. Hope that it will improve the overall quality of findings

I don't get it though, why do you say that you "give up"?
