Do you _read_ what you are responding to before you click 'send', George? I said
'legitimacy'. Why are you switching the topic to 'legitimcay as ... ORIGINAL
TEXT'?

Do you? Even Codex W?

But this is slippery language, that sounds like "weasel words". How 'accurate'?
Are you really unaware of the prevailing opinion among NT textual-critics on the
Continent, that the original text cannot be reconstructed?

You are getting more obtuse the more you write. I did not deny Jesus
the glory. I said nothing about Moses and Elijah shining brighter than
the sun, and whose clothes became whiter than any fuller could do. *Pay
attention* Read the words before you get to your reply.

What?!? Who said I was? I'm beginning to think you are having a
conversation with yourself? How on earth could you go on that tangent
from what I wrote? Yes Jesus was the "greater Moses". PAY ATTENTION.
Your misplaced zeal to win an argument and defend your unBiblical
opinion is causing you to assume too much.

No he wasn't.
