@fawzy_dawah The Egyptian pyramid text doesn't say that the heaven and earth wept for pharaoh. It says heaven wept. Again this is a very common near eastern expression it's not miraculous intertextuality.

@SeerahDawah The scholar you cited says Justin knew about Papias WRITTEN GOSPEL ORIGINS TRADITIONS and then quotes what Papias says about Matthew explicitly (through Eusebius). Just take the L. Why are you bringing quotes to debates that explicitly disagree with you? Can you not read?
@SeerahDawah You cited the scholar claiming it agreed with you and now you are so embarassed you are backtracking and acted like it doesnt matter that your own source refutes you
@SeerahDawah Why would you claim that the Papias tradition cited by Eusebius is a historical and then quote a source that says Justin knew about it? Can you at least take the L and admit this lmao
@SeerahDawah YOUR ORIGINAL CLAIM WAS THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW HIS TRADITIONS AND THAT'S WHY EUSEBIUS CITATIONS FROM PAPIAS ARE FALSE.
You have made a complete 360 switch lmao π€£
@SeerahDawah My original point wasn't that Justin didn't know the Papias traditions, that was YOUR point. My position was that Papias wasn't Justins personal teacher, which you mistakenly believed because you didn't even know where Papias and Justin lived
@SeerahDawah It's talking about the gospel origins. what written logos gospel origins from Papias could it possibly be regering to?
It's citing the Greek text from Eusebius citation about Matthew and says Justin knew about it!
@SeerahDawah I have never made an appeal to authority, you did. I just showed you how your own authority doesn't even support your argument. I never said our religion stands or falls with Justin. But Justin was not unaware of Papias.
@SeerahDawah It says Justin was acquainted with what Papias had WRITTEN about the ORIGINS of the GOSPELS, and then quotes Papias words about the logoi gospel of Matthew.
This is checkmate.
