I think what I'm looking for is more along the lines of "photos and transcripts", though, when it comes to manuscripts or fragments. It's amazing how often they're misrepresented, and it's best to be able to fact-check. I'm not saying that any new discoveries have been misrepresented (yet), but just in general. <br /><br />Take care & God bless<br />Anne / WFWeekend Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425001168670801073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-64453595470572820632012-07-17T02:22:28.939-05:002012-07-17T02:22:28.939-05:00Have you seen this debate on the nature of the New...Have you seen this debate on the nature of the New Testament? http://ehrmanproject.com/<br />The new 'Mark' material is revealed towards the end.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707181627588121525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-23861663051450338992012-07-16T19:59:39.935-05:002012-07-16T19:59:39.935-05:00Hi Howard

I'm hoping for a photo and transcription, really. :) <br /><br />Love that kind of stuff. <br /><br />Take care & God bless<br />Anne / WFWeekend Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425001168670801073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-33382954210120939922012-07-16T19:59:00.522-05:002012-07-16T19:59:00.522-05:00I'd love it if this kind of thing remained obs...I'd love it if this kind of thing remained obscure. The more common thing is for the hoax to be publicized and lose its sense of source and pass into "common knowledge", but when it's discovered as a hoax, that's nearly hushed up. <br /><br />I found out that the fellow who was behind the "Bloodline" hoax had changed his name before, and (in possibly related news) had been caught previously in a hoax involving the Loch Ness Monster. Seriously. <br /><br />It disturbed me to read one of the comments that was attributed to one of the people working on the Bloodline movie, where they were joking about him seeming dishonest and looking like his evidence was fabricated. Here's what bothers me: if the filmmakers had reservations, why in the world did that not come up during the course of the project or publicity? Kind of makes you wonder. <br /><br />Take care & God bless<br />Anne / WFWeekend Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425001168670801073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-88864946324417426972012-07-15T02:57:09.839-05:002012-07-15T02:57:09.839-05:00This was essentially an attempt to breathe new int...This was essentially an attempt to breathe new interest into the old chestnut proposed by Leigh, LIncoln and Baigent in the 80's (The books, 'Holy Blood and Holy Grail' and "The Messianic Legacy"), which were comprehensively exposed as bogus by the BBC (which had originally made materials supporting the works) and an excellent book by Richard Barber on the nature of the Holy Grail and the development of the story. It is sad that people tend to focus on the sensational than, for example, the recent discovery of a 1st century fragment of the Gospel of Mark - materials which clearly affirm the historical nature of Christianity.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707181627588121525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-40169385921396600352012-07-10T08:29:51.983-05:002012-07-10T08:29:51.983-05:00I'd never heard of Bloodline before.
