Hi Rolf,

Thanks for your answers.  And now four points/questions/corrections.

1. Actually, you have been less than forthcoming that KS was an
abbreviation for KURIOS.  And I think that accounts for at least some of
the flack that you've been getting in some of the responses.  Indeed, even
in this response you only acknowledge that KS is "most likely" an
abbreviation for KURIOS.  Is there really any doubt?

2.  Now, since you do acknowledge that KS and its variants were "most
likely" abbreviations for KURIOS, another important question for you to
answer is: Why was KURIOS chosen to represent YHWH or IAO rather than some
other word/title?

3. I know it's hard keeping track of all that people have said in their
responses, but I have not "closed the door"  on the possibility that YHWH
could have been written in the NT autographs; but I do believe that it is
extremely unlikely, in that the NT documents are not, like the LXX mss,
copies or translations of Hebrew mss; rather they are new creations:
Gospels; historical accounts, and letters.

4. My questions re the two NT passages do in fact have theological
implications; but I have no desire to explore them.  I only want to know
what you think was in the autograph.

Blessings,

Jerry
