It is not missing from the RT. It was never there. It is not found in any Greek text. The phrase is an idiom. The phrase ("first day of the week") takes more than one form. Matthew 28:1 μίαν σαββάτων Mark 16:2 τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων Mark 16:9 πρώτῃ σαββάτου Luke 24:1 τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων...

In 2006, the International Organization for Septuagint and Cognate Studies established February 8 as International Septuagint Day, a day to celebrate the Septuagint and encourage its study. Below is a pic of 4Q120 (4 = cave 4, Q = Qumran). This is a fragment from Leviticus 4:26-28. It is one...

You are absolutely correct. Even liberal scholars, who does not accept Matthean authorship, readily admit there was one and only one candidate, Matthew.

I clearly stated "being one of the 12 was not a requirement for writing a Gospel."

Excellent! That note tells you that not all LXX manuscripts read alike. That means, just as I said in post 309: "The manuscripts and codices of the Septuagint are not uniformed. No two are exactly alike. They all differ in some way." Nevertheless Brenton translated the verse this way: "For a...

Let's consider another case then. Do you consider Isaiah 9:6 messianic? For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (ESV)

I like David Bercot and have no doubt he believes what he says but that is not hard evidence. I am not going to take the word of someone without evidence. Moreover nothing he says contradict any of the points I made. Let me remind you (see post 283). You stated: "The LXX was composed of...

I understand your point but cannot agree. (1) In every canon list the Greek Gospel is always listed as belonging to Matthew (some of those lists date to the second century). (2) The Gospel of Matthew is often cited by church fathers with introductory phrases such as "Matthew says." Then it is...

The earliest source is Papias. He is cited by Eusebius (See Ecclesiastical History 39.16). The phrase in Greek is very ambiguous. Here is the first half of the sentence. Ματθαῖος μὲν οὖν Ἑβραΐδι διαλέκτῳ τὰ λόγια συνετάξατο. τὰ λόγια = the words, the sayings (It does not say Gospel)...

Neither Mark nor Luke was one of the 12. Being one of the 12 was not a requirement for writing a Gospel. The earliest sources unanimous name Matthew as the author of the Gospel.

Often a person from one party will register in the opposite party so that they may vote in the other party's primary. Also sometimes people simply don't bother to change their party affiliation and just vote the way they want. Wiki claims he registered Dem. in 2006 but change his party to Rep...

The text does not say Jeconiah was childless. The text (Jer. 22:30) states: “Write this man down childless, a man who shall not succeed in his days, for none of his offspring shall succeed in sitting on the throne of David and ruling again in Judah.” Also in the same pericope (v. 28) it says...
