No one cares about paid relays except the most schizo Nostards.

The Alexandrian school is an anachronism. The text type theory was a fad and no one believes it anymore, so even if it were a real thing, it wouldn’t be relevant. Sainiaticus was not found in a garbage can (although its origin is suspicious in other ways and it’s likely a partial forgery.) The copyright justification is wrong. He’s right that copyright law is the cause for many translations, but the specifics he gives are schizo.

When he gets into specific variants, he’s being very speculative (arguably deceitful) in explaining why they exist. The point is to push a subversive philosophy that allows for increasing conjectural emendations. This accomplishes two things; it allows them to push new copyrighted editions every few years, which they make bank on. Secondly, it allows them to call the preservation of the text itself into question, because if these are the mistakes we *can* find, imagine all the ones we can’t! Bart Ehrman is big on that talking point, and you’re going to see a lot more of it

He’s facing the right direction, but his knowledge of the specifics is all over the place. I respect what he’s trying to do, but ultimately, anyone who looks into the details is just going to go in the other direction when they realize he’s playing fast and loose with the facts.

He gets a lot of things retardedly wrong in this and he makes our position look bad. Over reliant on polemics too. Bad video.

Btw, the Papally approved Bible commentary and English says Ruth and Naomi were gay lesbian lovers.

Your entire paradigm presupposes faggotry.

It is a certain line of New Testament preservation that the King James Bible is based on, whereas modern Bibles are based on a redacted text that likely uses forgeries as a base.

I can prove that your entire religion is based on sodomy and the ritual sacrifice of children.

Mute me, faggot. You're literally worthless to the conversation, I would lose nothing.

Just say you hate God's word. We understand.

That's a more loaded question than you probably realize, but the answer is basically no. You can stop reading here if you want.

What is commonly called the "Byzantine text type" from every era is nearly exactly the same, except the majority of those manuscripts actually have more mistakes than the ones used by the Textus Receptus. The Book of Romans has a fake ending interspersed in the middle of chapters 14 and 15, for example.

There are only two "ancient" manuscripts that are used to make significant alterations, called "Sinaiticus" and "Vaticanus." Sainaiticus is almost certainly at least a partial forgery, the story of its discovery makes no sense and its pages have been deliberately altered to make it look older, and it's never been chemically tested.

So really, it's probably just one manuscript from the Vatican that they're using to change the Bible, which we don't even know the source of, combined with something called "conjectural emendations" which is basically just scholars guessing that every single manuscript is wrong, and creating their own reading, either from nothing, or by combining a bunch of variants like a Frankenstein's monster.

But even with all this, right now, the changes in content are basically nothing. So no, even if you interpret modern scholarship as favorably as possible, none of it was actually needed. The Bible was near perfectly preserved the way it was. The problem isn't what's been done so far, it's what *will* be done. The method being used right now is radically unstable and vulnerable to the insertion of forgeries, and modern Bible scholars get caught trying to forge documents all the time.

You're arguing against a position that no one has.

I’m just mean

Please send your boobs to nostr:npub108zt8c43ulvdwnax2txurhhr07wdprl0msf608udz9rvpd5l68ascvdkr5 he needs it rn

Show me your work and price (don’t DM they don’t show up for Nostards.)

Faggot

I am completely justified in being mean when arguing with Papists because I actually know what I’m talking about. I have spent years doing nothing in my free time but reading and listening to sources.

They can complain that I’m “trolling” all they want. Maybe if they weren’t dumb uneducated liars, I wouldn’t be mean to them.
