It only took a gap of 18 minutes of tape to impeach Nixon.


And it should only take a gap of about an hour in the response-time of Strategic Air Defense on 9/11 to impeach Bush, and rid the USA of Republican "fundamentalist Christians" in government for a hundred years.


Gaps in the wrong place at the wrong time can have a hell of a lot of significance.

Cut the crap. Demonstrate it. You've just badmouthed some guy and so far you ain't shown anything but your lack of creativity at it.

Wrong.

I've repeatedly shown him for the liar that he is, with evidence. Deal with it.

Oh my gosh! Say it aint so! You mean there's a blank space at the end of Mark!

Excuse the sarcasm, but that's like opening up the last page of Moby Dick and saying "Look, it stops halfway up the page! The ending is missing!"

In sinaiticus or vaticanus, is there a gap between the end of Luke and the beginning of John, or between Matthew and Mark? This is a serious question. I honestly don't know.

Sorry. I couldn't wait. There are many (I stopped counting at 14) "suggestive blank spaces" in Codex vaticanus, so according to this logic we are missing a bunch of text.
Don't be an ass.

There is only ONE other complete blank column in Vaticanus, and that occurs in the OLD TESTAMENT at point where a new scribe takes over after another one stops.

This is NOT the case with the ending of Mark. And this makes the entire blank column at the end of Mark the ONLY suggestive blank column in Codex Vaticanus.

'counting blanks' without using your brain is like shooting blanks on a battlefield. You'll get attention, but it won't be pretty. But don't let me stop you. Take a trip to Iraq and wave a gun full of blanks around, and let me know how the experiment ends.


Meanwhile, see if you can find ONE other page in Vaticanus that looks like this and post it for us:

I read through most of that link, and I don't see anything that's a lie. What I see is the same crap a lot of historians do, which is to sprinkle a hell of a lot of speculation in with a tiny amount of fact to put forth a 'what if' story. This seems to be standard fair as far as I can tell. I might call it fallacious reasoning, but that's not the same as a lie.

People can make false or exaggerated statements, without intention to deceive. It's only a lie if there is intent to deceive. Your link does not demonstrate any such intention, but instead, is libelous against both Erhman and the interviewer.

Is the misspelling of Erhman's name as "Erhmin" in the link (Ehrmin.html) a lie too?

I wonder if you'd mind if I sent this "study" to Bart? Or better yet, do you have the courage of your convictions to send it to him yourself and to ask him to reply?

He may be reached at: behrman [at] email.unc.edu

What did Bart ever do to you to warrant such a horribly cruel prank?

You're going to get your bunk short-sheeted at the next conference Jeffrey.

Ah ha! How could I have been so dense? This page documents the first recorded use of magical white-out!!!

I assume you are going to suggest (maybe you already have) that the original page was removed and this short ending version was inserted. Care to give that one a try?

This ain't no prank. Let's see if "Nazaroo", who calls Bart a f***ing liar behind Bart's back, is willing to do so to Bart's face.

Shall we take bets now as to which excuse "Nazaroo" will give us for not doing so?

The coarse language and obscenity is very out-of-place and works strongly against presenting a case against Bart Ehrman's scholarship, whether or not he is directly involved.
