Even if it is just speculation, I’m still interested in what document and which secondary source. I have a course on John that had been an occasional course but is probably moving into a two-year cycle and this looks useful.
I was looking at your articles posted in an attempt to figure out where you were from and saw that you were the one who was part of a group thinking of starting a college a few years ago. How did that turn out?
I would say the authorship of DSS is highly uncertain, rather than dubious. Dubious suggests fraud and they make no claim to authorship.
As for Romans 3:1-2, no-one denies that the Word of God was given to the Hebrews.
This is a good point, made doubly sticky by the fact that the Bible means something in English as well as its original languages. Consider:
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV
Versus:
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6, NIV.
Two different meanings. Same language.
Right. I sloppily substituted one word for another. Your emphasis on the fact that they were JEWISH rather than HEBREW makes a good point: Although HEBREWS would have chiefly read the masoreh, most JEWS were in diaspora throughout the Greek-speaking world and would likely read the LXX.
Good example.
