3). Socrates manuscript attestions = 0, only reason we know Socrates existed is because Plato wrote about him.
These individuals are by no means myths.
New Testament Manuscript attestions = over 6,000 dated withn 20 - 55 (depending on liberal or conservative scholarship c.f. Robinson's work "Redating The NT") years of the alleged life of Yahoshua; called "Jesus" as the transliterated form of his name in the Koine Greek lanugage.
If the most highly attested work of antiquity = myth in your worldview, you are entitled to your opinions (I believe Homer's Iliad coming in second.)
The point has nothing to do with the veracity of either an MMO or the Christian worldview. The point is to simply question the purpose of a passage of Scripture dealing with the cessation of the "Spiritual Gift" labelled by most Evangelicals as "tongues" when the "church" reaches it's completed, mature state (as documentable before 70CE before the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem) as it relates to what is being labelled as "Issue 17".
Edit: I was corrected, Plato is up to 7 MSS attestations.

that quote actually reminded me of that keanu reeves movie/philip k dick novel: a scanner darkly
Code:
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."Bob Arctor: What does a scanner see? Does it see into the head? Into the heart? Does it see into me clearly or darkly? I hope clearly, because I can't any longer. I see only murk inside and out.
basically how it reads to me is that in this life nothing makes any sense because of our limited perception, but in the afterlife we will see things fully. i dont personally agree with the philosophy but most of the popular religions of the world see things this way, which is why alot of people dont question authority and alot of bad things continue to happen in the world.
btw, why is this thread in these forums?
