Trash and the Question of Reliability

Regardless of the debate over Tischendorf's discovery of Sinaiticus, there is an interesting paper that will be read at the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) this November in Boston:

Chutzpah in Advertising

Just saw this new advertising blurb for the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB). Very surprised they are making the particular appeal that is stated:

"Death" in the NT

feeds@yuku.com (Armchair Scholar) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 10:50:50 GMT

For those learned in the Greek: the word thanatos is used quite often to speak of death (mostly of the physical kind rather than spiritual) or dying. However, the word teleute is also used and seems to mean "death" as well. When the death of Herod is mentioned in Matt. 2:5, it is teleute. In John 5:24, Jesus says, "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment,...

I have finished my translation of the First Epistle of John. This document indicates every difference between the Robinson-Pierpont Greek text and the Critical text in 1 John. It also shows differences, in the footnotes, between various editions of the KJV and TR for 1 John.

Speculum or Latin ms."m"

feeds@yuku.com (brandpluckt) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 16:56:16 GMT

Metzger in the 3rd and 4th edition of the "Text of the NT" dates Speculum as 8th or 9th century (p. 75 and 104-105 respectively). The UBS4 and the NA27 date Speculum to the 5th century. Metzger's "Early Versions of the NT" does the same. Does the actual date of the manuscript in our possession date to the 8th or 9th century while the (original) work itself dates to the 5th century?

On page 295 of "Early Versions of...

1 Jn 5:7 copy error

feeds@yuku.com (gnsb) — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 21:35:00 GMT
mko: And how about William Tyndale? He bracketed the comma out. And a good chunk of the KJV is his work.

gnsb: Yes, the comma is out of most of the greek manuscripts. I am surpised that in this discussion of the comma that no one has yet brought up the possiblity that the comma could have possibly dropped out of the text of 1 John because of the common copyist error of homeoarcton where the scribe's eye jumps from one word down to a similar word a few lines down thus accidently...

Early date of Mark

gnsb: As I promised, I found documentation for early date of James. This is from Daniel B. Wallace's website bible.org

"But the cumulative effect argues for a date no later than 49 CE. But as we suggested earlier (and will develop later), there is a good possibility that Herods persecution of Christians, which began with James (the son of Zebedee) execution, is in the background of, and provides part of the occasion for, this epistle. If this is true, then a date no earlier than...

First John Greek Text

feeds@yuku.com (HoLogos) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 11:41:52 GMT
I am half done typing the Greek text of the first epistle of John. It is the NA27 Greek text, with the Robinson text, where it differs, typed in Red Greek text afterward, right in the midst of the text. It works pretty well. I don't know why I haven't done this before.

First John, it appears to me at this time, is one of the few NT books where the NA27 text is LONGER than the Robinson text.

With the exception of one whole sentence which the Robinson text and TR omit, the NA27...

Feel free to move both the current threads back to the KJVO discussion board, since the straightforward discussion I intended with HoLo and Greenbranch obviously cannot occur without KJVO interruption. :">

The new technology is called "multispectral imaging."

It involves scanning the papyri through different colored lenses.

I am a Swedish scholar (comparative literature) and have come accross a Swedish official translation of Genesis from the 18th century made by a commission appointed to make a new translation of the bible. It is only a test translation, and not the version that this commission finally presented. Now, it translates the second day of creation in a way which I have not encountered anywhere else, and I wonder if anyone has encountered any similar version or else has any explanation of this...

KJVO propagandists would have us believe that that likes of Scrivener and Hoskier only belittle Codex Sinaiticus. I have not found that to be true. Yes, they point out their flaws, as I would hope they would, but here is a quotation from Scrivener:
