Yes, I did. It doesn’t matter that KJV onlyists cite a document kept in the Smithsonian. Washingtonianus is a real text of the gospels. It really is from the late 4th century (late 300’s AD) or early 5th century (early 400’s AD).

So, in response to this post #2304 - “man oh man....the protestants added that doxology to all those Bibles....” - I posted a text that shows the doxology pre-dates the appearance of the protestants by one thousand two hundred years!

So, to say the protestants created this is contradicted by the facts. The doxology also appears in the Didache which, even late dating its copies, still is about 400 years before the protestants showed up.

My point is that protestants did not dream this up. It was already present in Byzantine circles long before the protestants.
