Actually
you brought it up in post 30… try to keep pace with your own arguments. (And if you are addressing it because
I brought it up why wouldn't you address the other things I brought up too? Why just this one?)
All I can say is wow… again, try to keep pace with your own arguments. Here is what
you said in post 30:
"It is here where Pilate says, "It was the Day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon." This is found in John 19:14."
"according to John, IC dies a day earlier on the Day of the Preparation for the Passover…"
The underlined portions I have highlighted myself.
Now read part of what I said in response to this (post 34):
"John 19:14 says “Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover…” and for some reason you think this means “Preparation for the Passover…” but that’s not what it says…"
Again, the underlined portions I have highlighted myself.
So it doesn't look like you gave a rebuttal to anything I said post 34. All you did was assert the authority of Textual Critical scholars, give us an irrelevant quote from Metzger, and argue against yourself...
Thanks.
One of my majors in college was Bible, so I'm familiar with textual criticism and Metzger (I have his "A Textual Commentary On the Greek New Testament, as well as some AYB resources and make use of them on occasion). Textual criticism, as such, doesn't support the view of Scripture your supposing. Again, the assumption that if we just employ some textual criticism we will come to your conclusions looks a bit naïve.
Yes, I always take it as a rule of thumb that when I start debunking myself it's probably time to just move on...
