Dear Bryant, I have never said that YHWH occurs in any NT manuscript that we have today. But I have argued, as in my last post, that the text of the earliest NT manuscripts is corrupt as far as God's name is concerned; therefore they are not representative in connection with this question. I have further argued that there is good evidence that God's name occurred in the NT autographs. In my book on Bible translations there are 95 pages where this evidence is presented in detail.
