Btw, I think the American Standard Version (NT only editions) are the best renderings of Westcott & Hort's Greek NT.

Btw, I don't read the Textus Receptus. It was compiled later in the 16th century whereas the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus were among the earliest near complete Gnostic/early Christian texts.

>>24632214
Btw, the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus predate the major textual interpolations and doctrinal edits found in later medieval manuscripts (e.g., the Textus Receptus). This proximity gives scholars closer access to the original textual traditions that shaped early Christian and proto-Gnostic thought.

For certain things that's definitely true. Later manuscripts for example had edits done to make them fit for liturgical reading. A lot of differences are changes from things like "he said" to "Jesus said," for example. For other matters it's questionable how much these texts actually represent an earlier text form IMO. There's an old argument from the 19th century that I've always felt held water and that you never see sufficiently addressed, which is that it was more likely for a manuscript with errors to survive somewhere given that it would not be used, whereas a manuscript being used would wear out and be lost. Just a thought. Anyway there's a reason modern scholars follow an eclectic approach and compare the different textual traditions against each other, including the early translations we have into languages like Syriac.

The style and vision is too similar between each in a way that can't be replicated. Take the Bible or Arabian Nights which was very obviously written by multiple different people and compare it to Homer's work which is the product of one artist.

>>24632290
>style and vision
Can you be less vague?
Bible or Arabian Nights are composite written(!) works which is a very different tradition.
& just to be clear, I wasn't even necessarily arguing that more than one artist worked on each poem. But that the Iliad and the Odyssey were composed by different poets.

I'm willing to embrace this reality when I get there. I know after I'm done with my own pass through some "actual professional editor" is going to rip the whole thing to shreds, if it ever gets that far.

But for now, I'm pleasantly surprised to see the middle section be "not compositionally shit" like the first third.

On Writing was great, but King clearly wrote it with horror/thriller/suspense in mind (very character-driven; he says he doesn't even like to plan the plot).
I'm writing fantasy, so I'd like a book with advice on structure, pacing, and large-scale plot construction.

That it's supposedly about Hitman of all things is what strikes me the weirdest. It wouldn't be the slightest bit surprising if it was about anime, Final Fantasy or Zelda, since that's exactly the kind of stuff girls like this are typically into. Hitman is just so no girlfic material unless it's somehow referencing the movie.

No, what you really mean is that jews have murdered more people under the guise of atheism than any of their other schemes, but even that isn't true.

>>24631445
I don't think morality is emotional. It's very pragmatic in a way. I don't want to live in a society where I or anyone I know could be randomly murdered at any time. You can't even really have much of a society like that.

You're describing christianity lol. Christianity produced modern secular culture, they're your degenerates. You did this, you absolute faggots.

I don't write in the books themselves, writing in margins is a pretty ineffective way of taking notes, there's not enough room and it spreads your notes over random pages.
>"oh where was my note on what this term meant? I wrote it some 100 pages ago"

Just write in a seperate notebook where you have all the room to write and organize it sensibly. Plus it doesn't clutter your books with probably garbage notes.
What do you do if you spell a word incorrectly and have to scribble it out, what a fucking mess you would make of your books. In a notebook a scribbled out word is not a big deal
