Re: Carmack/Skousen: "Virtually none of the grammatical variants listed in section 4-archaic grammar are archaic."

Great information, Lem. Originally, Skousen had this "AM" model for predicting some kinds of language changes. Early Modern English was a logical part of that research, as you have to show the language rule working throughout different periods. Set that aside. Now over here, on the other side of the...

Re: Carmack/Skousen: "Virtually none of the grammatical variants listed in section 4-archaic grammar are archaic."

Lem, I'm going to have to slow down your argument to understand it. She used the Helsinki Corpus of Early Modern English to support her conclusions, as well as the Webster 1820s dictionary. At the time, she mostly implied the archaic nature was simply an artifact of Smith's speech, and in some cases...

How is using prophetic authority to save lives by asking the Saints to wear masks any more danger to free agency than pleading with the Saints to pay a full tithing?

Re: The gospel of Q

From Res's article: Let’s think about this for a minute. How many great movies, books, and TV shows would have been forever ruined if the mysterious stranger just laid it all out for the protagonists in the first meeting. “Jim did it. It’s Jim. He’s laundering money for the mob. Perhaps this is wher...

Re: Carmack/Skousen: "Virtually none of the grammatical variants listed in section 4-archaic grammar are archaic."

the rest of what I wrote over there: I can think of one set of consistent facts to fit the scenario. Wiki says that in 2011 about 5% of the content was made available for free. There is also a trial version available, which I assume is also free for a certain period of time (don't know about content...

The gospel of Q

In an effort to better understand where subs and Ajax are coming from, I've done some light reading on the origins of Q. It all started on a Saturday, the twenty-eighth of October 2017 in the twilight hours of Daylight Savings, with news that the Mueller probe had their first indictment ready to go....

Re: A Special Video Message of Hope and Healing Is Coming From the Prophet November 20

And that was basically to warn the people against their sins . Would Ratzinger pay 10% of his income to have a random guy warning h...
