    William,

    Please, for once, answer the question, or offer something tangible, or go away.

    Your riddles are an insult to intelligent life.

    Other than the fact, of course, that little drunken elves don't exist and the ancient vernaculars do, along with later manuscripts that contain the readings found in the ancient vernaculars. No need to pretend. Both actually exist.

    Just because there are no little drunken elves available today does not mean they never existed!

    I love Cassidy Logic <tm>.

    Scott, maybe if you would honestly discuss the issue instead of taking childish potshots from the peanut gallery you would not have such trouble understanding the issue. By using your "logic" the bible itself does not exist because we don't have any manuscripts which are contemporaneous with its inspiration/inscripturation.

    I love Ransom Logic. (Uh, well, no, I don't.)

    As many of you will recognize this essay, I am curious. It appears that Dr. Cassidy is claiming that "oldest is best" for these KJV readings which are supported by the oldest known translations. Have I understood this statement correctly? If so, how can this be reconciled with the Byzantine superiority stance?     </font>[/QUOTE]Good question, the author claims that " in my opinion" that should of set off a distress signal right off the bat, or a Red flag or a light bulb " lean not on you own understanding but in "ALL" thy ways aknowledge Him and He shall Direct thy path. I Hope you get a Phd!Bro!

    Actually 'in my opinion' is frequently applicable
    even if not mentioned.

    For example this is an opinion:

    william s. correa: //Good question, the author claims that " in my opinion" that should of set off a distress signal right off the bat, or a Red flag or a light bulb ...//

    I find more flags raised for me when the
    author doesn't know he expressed an opinion
    and/or confuses his opinion with
    the oracles of God :eek:

    What is the essay's author's view on the authenticity of the following passages:

    1. Luke 17:36
    2. Acts 8:37
    3. Acts 15:34
    4. Acts 28:29?

    Based on his research, does he view the authenticity of the passages as:

    1. Highly improbable
    2. Improbable
    3. Even
    4. Probable or
    5. Highly probable?
