Re: Κύριος
Not trying to resurrect the dead but just pointing to a recent article in the new journal Open Theology that deals with this issue. (eg. see pp.60-61,68 and images pp. 83-86)

Re: Κύριος
David, Thank you for your last post. In addition, you kindly asked me for information. That is certainly a reasonable request. However at this time I will decline to go much further. I am well aware that an appeal to authority does not prove a point. The best scholar is still human! However, my whol...

Re: Κύριος
Yes "History" can indeed be different than the "report of history." I am not sure what evidence you look for? Do you think the LXX did not have a form of the Tetragrammaton in it? Do you think later Christianized texts (LXX) did not at some time start to use KC? (or other NS) Do ...

Re: Κύριος
David Lim wrote: So what is your evidence for your claim in the first place then? Please see my post after this one since it will explain the reason I even jumped into this discussion in the first place. My whole argument is that Κύριος was not used consistently to represent the Tetragrammaton as wa...

Re: Κύριος - non-declined form of nomina sacra
Stephen wrote: Did you intentionally write "KC" here? Do you have evidence that scribal abbreviations were not declined at an earlier period? Good question. I could have been more specific. Sorry about that. KC was not meant to imply that this was used during the Koine period leaning up to...

Re: Κύριος
Just briefly, we must be careful not to make anachronistic errors while discussing MSS. The Sinaiticus is some 200 years removed from the start of the 4 specific nomina sacra that make up the " nomina divina. " As time went on, over 10 were added from the original 4. With time they were no...

Re: Κύριος - Nomina Sacra - Manuscript evidence
Stephen, Appreciate your questions and your clarifications of the Sigma. Stephen Hughes wrote: I understand this to mean that you are saying that in the earliest manuscripts KS and kύριος ARE both used with "pragmatical reason" and that there is a difference of referant, viz. κύριος for אָ...

Re: Κύριος
Scott wrote Bill, are you saying that one might find κυριος and κυριος with two different referents intended as well ΚΣ and κυριος? The former I can see happening but the latter would surprise me because I thought the purpose of abbreviating the nomina sacra was to save space. Scott, there are many ...

Re: Κύριος
I am aware that this post is continuing in a slightly different direct. :) However, I thought that the following statements should have been added to my last post since it would have aided in the questions posed to me directly for evidence. One of the main reasons we know that the Old Testament manu...
