Some questions

[Thirdwoe]

almost every Greek ms. support the "God" reading.

How many have you checked to make sure? you said: "Almost very Greek ms..." Prove that statement to me Dave.

Theodore of Mopsuestia was an Eastern Theologian from Antioch, and a Nestorian and Universalist, and one of my Greek NT's attests to his reading of "the church of God" at Acts 20:28. He died AD 428. There are four church fathers of the 4th century (before AD 400) that read, "the church of God" at Acts 20:28 and there are five ancient versions -Coptic (Bohairic mss), Latin Vulgate, Peshitto & two major Itala mss. and the Georgian version that read:" "the church of God" at Acts 20:28.

Where do you get your info Dave? Goodness. 1: Theodore was NOT a "Nestorian" because he was not a follower of Bishop Nestorius, but rather Bishop Nestorius learned from him...so if anything, Bishop Nestorius would be a "Theodorian" and Theodore would be a "Diodorusian"...lol

These men were all Orthodox in their doctrines, as to what was always taught, from the time of the Apostles as taught to the Church of the East and shown in The Eastern Peshitta Text...the reason that the Church of the East agreed with Bishop Nestorius after the Council of Ephesus in 431 A.D., when Bishop Cryil of Alexandria falsley accused and manipulated the situation in order to condemn Bishop Nestorius, is because it was what they always held to as sound doctrine since the time of the 1st Gentile Church in Antioch. To go against his teaching about Christ, would be to go against what they were taught by the Apostles, which had been passed down from them to that time.

And which of the four Father's show that it is "Church of God" at Acts 20:28?....Also I see that the Coptic, which you say has the "Church of God" reading...has rather.."Church of the Lord" instead. Which source of the Coptic text are you looking at?
