DISCUSSION OF TJ 18 AND MATTHEW 16

There are some 17 problematic Matthean verses in Mt 16, apparently caused by the writer's alterations of TJ 18.

DISCUSSION OF TJ 17-18:1 & MATTHEW 15

There are quite a few problems with Matthew in this segment, both to passages that are parallels to TJ verses and those that are not.

DISCUSSION OF TJ 16 AND MATTHEW 14

Breaking the discussions into chapter segments will help alleviate the congestion of too many comments and replies in any one thread. However, judging from the earlier discussions, a given thread on a particular chapter may still become so long as to need a new one. So I won’t yet set out headings for all the others, and/or for chapters previously discussed in part.

A forum already exists for discussing questions on the TJ, chapter by chapter, at "http://forum.figu.org/cgi-bin/discuss.cgi". If you desire to use that, after registering and logging in, click on “Books and Booklets Area,” then on “The Talmud of Jmmanuel.”
DISCUSSION OF TJ 15 AND MATTHEW 13

My further responses to Ben’s comments, and comments of others on the material in these particular chapters, will be found here.
DISCUSSION OF TJ 14

In response to a suggestion of Ben, I’ll place my response to one of Ben’s comments that refers to TJ 14 here, and he can further respond under the same thread. Others besides Ben are of course also invited to contribute here and above. There are no Matthean parallels to TJ 14.

MORE DISCUSSION OF THE TJ VERSUS MATTHEW

The bottom segment has become rather full of lengthy discussions, requiring too much scrolling. So let us continue discussion of constructive criticisms and questions of the TJ here.
