Early ...The whole Bible is composed of forgeries. <br /><br />Early Christian religious deceptions, which few, if any Christian ministers will admit: Jesus' Apostles did not write the Gospels as claimed by so many prevaricators in the Christian ministry. “… It thus appears that the titles of religion vs science of the Gospels are not traceable to the Evangelists themselves.” ~New Advent Encyclopedia aka Catholic Encyclopedia, vol. VI, 655-656. cf. Acts 4:13. <br />Proselytizing, not Truth, Propaganda, not history. The Catholic Church admits that the Epistles of Paul are saying, “Even the genuine Epistles were greatly interpolated to lend weight to the personal views of their authors.” ~Catholic Encyclopedia, Farley ed., vol. vii, p. 645.<br />Chronology was little known and less observed among the Hebrews, for all their early sacred, and even other writings, contained neither the name of the writer, time when, nor place where written. <br />The non-authenticity of these [Gospel] books having been clearly shown, what is the result? Any book, paper or other document not written in whole by the purported author, is a forgery. ~See Bouvier's Law Dictionary; also Webster, Worcester, et al.<br />“Although ancient traditions attributed to the Apostle John the Fourth Gospel, the Book of Revelation, and the three Epistles of John, modern scholars believe that he wrote none of them.” ~Harris, Stephen L., Understanding the Bible, Palo Alto: Mayfield, 1985, p. 355.<br />“The Gospels are so anonymous that their titles, all 2nd century guesses, are all four wrong.” ~Randel McCraw Helms, Who Wrote the Gospels?<br />“All four gospels are anonymous texts. The familiar attributions of the Gospels to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John come from the mid 2nd century and later and we have no good historical reason to accept these attributions.” ~Steve Mason, professor of classics, history and religious studies at York University in Toronto, Bible Review, Feb. 2000, p. 36.<br />“Most scholars have come to acknowledge, was done not by the Apostles but by their anonymous followers (or their followers’ followers). Each presented a somewhat different picture of Jesus’ life. The earliest appeared to have been written some 40 years after his Crucifixion.” ~David Van Biema, The Gospel Truth? Time, April 8, 1996.<br />Based on language analysis, the unknown author of Matthew was most likely a highly-educated Jew who wrote in Greek, but with a Jewish worldview and schooled in Jewish Law, which negates a corrupt tax collector. ~cf. Acts 4:13. J.D. Crossan, Who Killed Jesus, 1995.

Justnes, then, in a discussion with Abegg, says he believes ALL are forgeries. <br />Ultimately, I believe the main point is that doubted Mss should be identified in any medium in which they are listed, following Rollston.<br />TimTimothy Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641788186736340533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-73542760770466473722016-12-02T09:45:45.297+00:002016-12-02T09:45:45.297+00:00Maybe meant "infamous."
