While my expertise is no where near this level of study i find it helpful in my on study as i too seek to rightly understand the Word. Attacking one viewpoint with accusations is not profitable, lets us let the scholarship speak for itself. I eagerly await the remainder of this interesting article.

Lk. 24:44), so a reference to "in the prophets," in and of itself, would not necessarily imply that more than one passage was referenced.

Why would he then insert the name of only one prophet and thereby assign quotations from two different prophets to just one prophet? You would think when he saw 'prophets' (plural) he would have researched to see who the one was in addition to Isaiah.<br /><br />-Jim RaymondJim Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01677454113796826317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346409181794331060.post-53225226348203551452017-10-01T14:42:07.747-04:002017-10-01T14:42:07.747-04:00James,

The only reasonable conclusion, equitable eclecticism is just another name for the majority text position and any place you 'disagree' with the majority text is just a way to 'show' you are not a majority advocate! Further evidence will be all the majority text advocates who will come running to your defense.<br /><br />Tim<br />Timothy Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641788186736340533noreply@blogger.com
