We can add the recent discovery of 30 more homeoteleuton errors, which have been mistakenly placed into the modern critical Greek texts, and which puts the known list of blunders in the critical text to about 100: Several new possible homoeoteleuton errors have been found in the WH/UBS text...

To give an idea of how homeoteleuton errors actually occur in the process of hand-copying a hand-written manuscript, consider the following example below, reconstructed from extant manuscripts and copying habits; Codex Bezae - Matt 23:34 h.t. blunder Here is another rather transparent h.t...

By the way, the text in the original post has become unreadable, because this forum has changed its methods of text-display over the years, and forum software has evolved. I will try to re-post a readable Greek text below for the M5 line of transmission: Last Updated: Feb 12 2009 Text...

Yes, actually we are pretty familiar with Dean Burgon's pioneering work in defending John 8:1-11. We have carefully followed and commented upon all the textual-critical work that has surrounded these verses, and have posted those articles and added commentary and footnotes here: Textual...

Sure: The diagram naturally poses an original form for the pericope, identified essentially with the surviving copies of the M5 text found by Von Soden. Divergent transmission lines and resultant traditions headed in essentially two directions: Some authorities discovered the passage...

Very good post. I agree with the verdict that John the Baptist was a Nazarite. Otherwise, Luke makes no sense.

Here is our semi-finalized preliminary stemma for the Pericope de Adultera (PA - John 7:53-8:11) And here is the M5 Text, believed to be the most accurately preserved line of transmission for the passage; Last Updated: Feb 12 2009 Text Notes...

One can now see the textual evidence in detail on these variants, along with many other examples of homeoteleuton style errors in the ancient handwritten manuscripts here: homoioteleuton The H.T. error masterlist complete with live links is here: homoioteleuton: H.T. Masterlist

The Problem with Mark 7:19 The Problem with this scripture is complicated by two layers of confusion. The first concerns the Greek text. While the Traditional (Majority/Received) Greek text of Mark reads as follows:"...παν τ&#959...

The link was broken on the original thread, so here I'm posting a new graphic image:

Our previous thread on John 8:1-11 was mistakenly closed. http://www.christianforums.com/t2690650-14/#post49388712 If we can get that reopened, we will continue expanding the commentary. Otherwise, we can continue working on it here.

We have some new evidence in regard to Mark's ending, which we will post shortly.

It appears that the original thread which we worked on here http://www.christianforums.com/t3154125-10/ has been inadvertantly closed, perhaps by accident. If mods can reopen it, we can continue to add new information in a convenient place gathered together.

John Piper in 2012 takes the remarkable and certainly very difficult position, that the scholars are probably right, that the passage doesn't belong in John's gospel, but was probably added later, and yet, he finds that the passage is entirely consistent and in harmony with the whole New...

I'm never pleased when free speech outlets are diminished. Obama haters? That would group them with half the planet, given USA's popularity. Strange barometer for measuring legitimacy or psychological unsoundness. Thank God Christianity isn't based on nor does it give credence to psychology...

That is strange, since I posted there myself on the 9th and 10th....

They often have controversial threads on controversial subjects. It doesn't mean they agree with every poster or position argued. But they do believe in a reasonable interpretation of free speech, within boundaries of law and good taste (not always). I doubt they were suspended over a thread...

I just went to TheologyOnline today, and found its account suspended. Is this a political attack? I was expecting eventually that many Christian forums and websites would be picked off one by one, starting with the more controversial ones. I don't think they were big enough to own their...

Our friend James Snapp Jr. has created a new .pdf that gives a full update on the textual evidences in regard to John 8:1-11, and has posted it on yahoo groups TC Alt list: Our thanks to James for his scholarly efforts to clarify many points in regard to the evidence and handling of this...

Oh look here is the same scientist in her real lab. Here's the most ludicrous criticism of intelligent design that I've come across so far this week. Richard B. Hoppe at Panda's Thumb is echoed by Casey Johnston at Ars Technica in jeering that a...
