I was just kidding, but the way the forums are setup you can only edit your post as long as it’s the last post in the thread.  You posted while I was trying to edit mine which meant that my edits didn’t take effect.  I sent Bart’s web guy an email asking if something could be done about that.

My brain tells me what to type faster than I can type so sometimes I leave words out and don’t notice until I’m reading what I posted.  I was trying to add a couple words in that my fingers skipped.

Why no preview prior to posting? I find that lack most frustrating… this forum’s software leave much to be desired….

Looks like my idea was accepted.  Steven, the website admin, said he tested out giving us a 5 min window to go back and edit.  He sent a screen shot of it in action, but I’m not sure if it’s live or not.

I just noticed he gave us the 5 min window for blog comments which is a good addition as well.  Hopefully he’ll do it for the forum also.

AT LEAST WALLACE SEEMS TO FOLLOW TRADITIONAL HISTORICAL CRITERIA.

This is a curious statement.  The theories and resultant text of Daniel Wallace have a historical base only going back to the 1800s.  At that time the Critical Text theory became reasonably dominant in the seminary and academy scholarship, this text began as what can be called the Vaticanus-primacy edition of 1871 used by Westcott-Hort in making the Revision.

Are there specific historical criteria that can be identified before the 1800s?  Is it right to call a minority text approach that only arose in the 1800s historical?

Thanks!

I believe that most explicit alteration of the manuscripts is 1 John 5:7 in KJV, which has the most explicit trinity formula, but found to be an interpolation and hence deleted and footnoted in modern bibles such as Revised Standard Version, New International Version and New Living Translations.
