Hi Maestroh,

In case you're interested, here is a blog page in which a lot of information regarding the history of the grammatical argument favoring the Comma is presented. It shows how the grammatical argument appears to have been an intentional deception from the beginning.

There is a second message titled Eugenius, Smyth and Wallace Versus Nolan and Dabney and dated December 8, 2010, at the following web page, in which the incompatibility between what Nolan and Dabney say and what Eugenius, Smyth and Wallace say is explained.

Hi Maestroh,

For what it's worth, I just posted a new blog message that (1) shows that the person (Eugenius) on whom Nolan relies to give credibility to his (Nolan's) grammatical argument favoring the Comma actually refutes Nolan's grammatical argument, and that (2) shows that Dabney appears to have changed his mind regardig Nolan's 1815 grammatical argument between 1871 and 1878, and that (3) gives a tutorial in Greek grammar via Smyth and Hadley to show that grammatical gender agreement occurs with a single noun while natural gender agreement occurs with multiple nouns, and that the direction of agreement in an appositive construction is always from the appositive to the preceding substantive, never from the preceding substantive to the appositive, and that there are ten instances of partitive apposition in the Greek New Testament, and that an articular participle that is not connected to a noun in any of the three articular attributive positions is a substantive whose gender is always determined by natural agreement unless it refers to an idea that is represented in the text by a single noun. The examples provided by Smyth and Hadley are useful.
