The fact of the matter is, the articles I have provided are not only here to present another perspective but are also grounded in fact and reality (as can be seen by the well referenced Wikipedia articles you both seem to have ignored) and not in some sort of warped pseudo-reality (a la Westboro).
Wait a minute, Cephas, was this a crack at me? Am I living in some sort of warped pseudo-reality because I work in Westboro, Mass and you don't agree with my comments? What does "a la Westboro" mean?
A crack at you? I don't think you actually think this is the case, least of all because I neither know you personally (or you me) nor do I know where you live or work.
No I didn't think it was actually a crack at me. But I don't know what else "a la Westboro" could refer to? Was it something in the Wikipedia articles? I was just curious.

It's all good. I thought the reference was apparent, but since it wasn't, it's all good. Don't worry about it, it's not important.

So you're saying that the English translation of the Didascalia is incorrect? If that is the case, then which is authentic? And since you're making the claim, back it up. Find this 'Arabic/Coptic' Didascalia and post what it says.

There are different versions of the didascalia .. there is the Ethipian, the syrian, the Greek, the latin, and the Coptic. The Arabic is translated in the 12th century from the Coptic that was translated from the Greek.
Unfortunately the Greek Original is lost. The English is translated off the Latin.
I ill post the Arabic on a post by itself
