i have nothing to add, just a few questions for rolf:

><Rolf>
>But as far the evidence goes, they never quoted an OT text with KURIOS.

<doug>
so there is NOT ONE early NT MSS with KURIOS (contemporary 
with those with KS and QS) ANYWHERE where an OT text had 
YHWH? how much do we have of these fragments? for these 
early MSS how many OT quotes to we even have?

><Rolf>
>The Masoretes (600-1000 C.E.) substituted YHWH with 'ADONAY, and it has been taken for granted that this was already done in pre-Christian times. But the evidence in favor of this is lacking, and there is even evidence against it.

<doug>
there is NOT ONE early OT MSS that has 'ADONAY were YHWH 
is in the hebrew? is there ANY LXX MSS that have KURIOS 
where YHWH appeared in the Hebrew?

><Rolf>
>However, this is substantially weakened by the fact that the old NT manuscripts (2nd century C.E.) neither contain KURIOS but just KS.

<doug>
are there ANY "old" NT MSS that contain KURIOS? and how 
much do we have of the MSS that contain KS for OT quotes? 
how many OT quotes do these MSS have and what OT verses do 
they quote with YHWH in the Hebrew? do you have a list of 
the NT texts from these old MSS that quote the OT where 
YHWH appears? where might one find more info about the 
actual contents of these fragments?
