Kerr again quotes Farmer (p.29):"But Alexandrian scholars were also guided by other principles in making their omissions...This principle called for the omission of any passage which was regarded as offensive to or unworthy of the gods."

I find the above preposterous.

Mr. Kerr, your Farmer quote is utter nonsense. Since you believe it to be true, please give evidence to support such a wild claim. Farmer's word is not enough to prove anything.

On page 30 Kerr says:"Many of the early papyri are from the second century, the period regarded by most as the time of greatest attack on the text of the N.T."

By that I guess he wants the reader to assume that the compilers were copying theological aberrations.

I need to get a reasonable reply from you on this. Again, are you implying that the copyists were affected by outside influences and compromised in their work? Give some documented proof that demonstrates your contention. Cite evidence. Mere assertions don't cut any mustard.

On page 31 Kerr states :"...the vast number of newly discovered Byzantine MSS lie languishing for lack of interest..."

Which ones? Be specific.
