[edit] John and Jesus
Hi Tom: About John in the Qur'an, the verse said: "Believing (mosadekan) in a word from Allah". Even if "a word from Allah" refers to Jesus, it doesn't specifically mean that he was a harbenger of Jesus, as also their age were so close to each other. But in the other hand when Allah talked about Jesus in the Qur'an He said clearly, "Harbenger (mobasheran) by a messanger who will come after me his name is Ahmad". AAboelela
[edit] Shamsuddin
Thank for deleting the Shamsuddin references off Gospel of Barnabas. You beat me to it! --JBJ830726 02:20, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

- Hey Tom,
- Many of the non-canonized pseudepigraphical Gospels are considered "Gnostic", though the Gnostic community themselves are having a hard time defining what Gnosticism is exactly, as you can tell from the Gnosticism article. You are right, I probably should justify this in the Gospel of Barnabas talk page, and I will (hopefully without generating too much of a debate). This Gospel in particular, is problematic because its origin is so late, nonetheless, there are some who argue it was based upon earlier text and treat it as 'secrect knowledge' though I personally accept its origin as having been inspired by Islam. I guess we'll have to see what others say about it.

[edit] re
Tom, perhaps I am mistaken. I thought Tatian used the LXX. Lostcaesar 22:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Masoretic Text
Hello,
I'm not sure what this missing text should be called. Presumably, it should be what the experts call it, whatever that is. What I have called it in the past is "the Hebrew Bible", or the "current [time provided by context] Hebrew text", or even simply "the Tanakh". Not very exact, but at least not incorrect. I do not know whether more precision is possible, although it is certainly desirable. Best regards, Rwflammang 17:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC).
If you have a reference to scholars calling this missing text "MT" in any sort of formal document (i.e., not an informal colloquium or chat room), please let me know. Rwflammang 18:24, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Recent edit to Western text-type
Thank you for your recent edit to Western text-type. Your edit included one or more links to the page Greek, which is a disambiguation page. This type of page is intended to direct users to more specific topics. Ordinarily we try to avoid creating links to disambiguation pages, since it is preferable to link directly to the specific topic relevant to the context. You can help Wikipedia by revising the links you added to Western text-type to refer directly to the most relevant topic. (This message was generated by an automatic process; if you believe it to be in error, please accept our apologies and report the error to help us improve this feature.) --Russ (talk) 17:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Constantinople
To quote the song "Istanbul was Constantinople" and in fact was so until the 20th century. Also, since the references were to Greek libraries, I think it is more appropriate a name. Str1977 (smile back) 21:01, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
