Hi Chuck,

I wrote:

almost every Greek ms. support the "God" reading.

You wrote:

How many have you checked to make sure? you said: "Almost very Greek ms..." Prove that statement to me Dave.

This last statement is quite disingenuous, Chuck. You and I both rely on the Greek NT critical editions and their apparatuses to ascertain the majority readings and the relative numbers of Greek mss. for each reading.

All Greek editions show that "Lord and God" or "Lord God" is in the vast majority of Greek mss. Both of those readings have "God" in them, so the majority of Greek mss. have "God" in them, in support of the Western Peshitta reading.

Have you personally seen all the Peshitta mss. that contain the Eastern reading and all those that contain the Western reading at Acts 20:28? Of course not. So have you proved that the Eastern mss. all have the "Messiah" reading, by your own standard? No, of course not.

And you accuse me of using a double standard? What a joke!

Dave
