Hello. Hope someone can help me here. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on why most of the Church abandoned the LXX when all historical evidence shows...

Jerome debated against the inclusion of the Apocrypha (as in his famous debate with Augustine) in the OT because it did not appear in the Hebrew text. It was...

Adam, thanks for your questions. Bob Kraft answered many of them, and the list has chimed in with more commentary. I want to point out that the Old Greek...

I have read that Mark 16:16-17 and also 1 John 5:7 are spurios. Could someone help me about them. And could they let me know if there are more? ... Be smarter...
Actually it is all of Mark 16:9-20 which is spurious as well as 1 John 5:7. There are others in the NT. For a very helpful resource on this question see Bruce...
I would disagree with the comments made regarding the "spurious"ness of Mark 16:9-20, but this is the "LXX" group and this is not the place for these kinds of...

Paul, you are quite correct that the phrase EN ARCH would have been tantamount to saying to his readers: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have your LXX with you,...
Chris & Sean, This subject, too, should probably be pursued on a NT criticism board. I will suggest, Sean, that you see how this idea of yours might...
Bill, you stated : "Note that the LOGOS (utterance) was there in the beginning, with God, and that it was divine utterance. And all things were made through it...
