Whether or not it was in the very earliest manuscript, its very broad acceptance from early days to now leads me to think that it's both apostolic and canonical. After all, it's quite possible for something to be apostolic without being in the same original. I suspect that it was added to John, and added precisely because it was apostolic.Jim Swindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632113399696237695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-75023411045687969932008-04-24T02:45:00.000-05:002008-04-24T02:45:00.000-05:00Just a few days ago I posted this on the textualcr...Just a few days ago I posted this on the textualcriticism list:<BR/><BR/>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/textualcriticism/message/3662Wieland Willkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376942788228063430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-81501495700895724762008-04-23T23:17:00.001-05:002008-04-23T23:17:00.001-05:00Shouldn't our view of inspiration apply to the chu...Shouldn't our view of inspiration apply to the church's preservation of the text as well as its composition?

He said the best way to go about it was to prepare a congregation for those types of issues (text-critical in this case) ahead of time, so that when a pastor gets to John 7:52 it's little more than a comment to move onto 8:12. I would tend to agree: I think it's a bad idea to start separating "biblicity" and canonicity in the pulpit.Tim Ricchuitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12438981322009430784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-87463544364397576822008-04-23T17:22:00.000-05:002008-04-23T17:22:00.000-05:00I always found it deeply ironic that Erasmus was a...I always found it deeply ironic that Erasmus was a Catholic humanist who was one of Luther's principal sparring partners, that the 1611 King James included the Apocrypha, and--at least as rumor has it--King James preferred the young men at court to women... somehow all these things seem somewhat discordant with the usual MO of a King James only person.Ken Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745548537303356655noreply@blogger.com
