Where is Logia of Jesus in Aramaic. Where is Matthew’s Aramaic gospel?<br /><br />P46 (175CE) is Greek manuscript with the largest percentage of difference on record. This just proved that Church have been changing words since early 2nd century at will.<br /><br />Here is the words of the early church father, Origen (3rd century CE):<br />“The differences among the manuscripts have become great, either through the negligence of some copyists or through the perverse audacity of others; they either neglect to check over what they have transcribed, or, in the process of checking, they make additions or deletions as they please.” Origen, early church father in “Commentary on Matthew.”<br /><br />Regarding the oldest surviving fragment, Colin Roberts compared P52 writings using ONLY 5 samples from the early 2nd century CE back in 1935 and concluded based on those 5 samples; P52 was from the early 2nd century.<br /><br />(Brent Nongbri’s 2005. The Use and Abuse of P52: Papyrological Pitfalls in the Dating of the Fourth Gospel)<br />What I have done is to show that any serious consideration of the window of possible dates for P52 must include dates in the later second and early third centuries. – Brent<br /><br />Compare with 4th century codexes. You will be surprise how Holy Spirit inside the scribes fail to prevent them from changing words of God ever since the beginning.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397514123435907580.post-64112262490064525432013-01-17T04:15:54.333+00:002013-01-17T04:15:54.333+00:00Hi Dr. Leonard,
Love the list! The Esdras'...Hi Dr. Leonard, <br /><br />Love the list! The Esdras' are hard to keep track of because some call a book 1 Esdras while others call it 3 Esdras, but in any case, I believe the EOC has an extra Esdras that is in the LXX but Rome and Protestants doesn't have. <br /><br />God be with you,<br />Dan Godismyjudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310455924556730920noreply@blogger.com
