Inerrant Bible Manuscripts?

To speak of "congruence" is inane. In fact, to speak of DSS manuscripts as if they represent a coherent variant displays a significant ignorance. Compare the assertion of 'congruent text' [whatever that might mean] with Tov's authoritative characterization of the DSS witnesses as reflecting a pluriformity of textual variants, including proto-Masoretic, Samaritan, and Septuagint (LXX) Vorlage.The only thing sillier that speaking of congruence is the delusion of some variant 'accurately' reflecting an 'original'. Forgive me - I take that back: the phrase "Inerrant Bible Manuscript" is stunningly naive and speaks volumes about the OP.This message has been edited by ConsequentAtheist, 11-08-2005 04:27 PM
