That wont stop (some) people claiming the existence of an "original" many centuries beforehand, especially given the possible mention of it by Origen. Look what happened to the "Gospel of Thomas" found in the mid 4th century manuscripts of the Nag Hammadi Codices. It got an inside run into the 1st century.

Why don't you just get out of this thread? The thread was going along just fine. The word 'second century' appears in the title so you shouldn't even be allowed to participate as you are compulsively addicted to your usual bullshit. The words 'second century' in a thread title should be the equivalent to you as 'meat' is to a vegetarian. Order something else.

You are the single biggest reason participation in this forum has dropped from over a hundred people to like 20.
