Shlama l'kulkhon,
Ezra Abbot has a pretty lengthy discussion concerning the "church of God" versus "the church of Christ (Meshikha)" theme in Acts 20:28.
I thought akhan Paul would really appreciate this quote from his lengthy, in-depth essay..........
{QUOTE} - Of the Syriac MSS. in the British Museum, the following read "the church of Christ (or the Messiah): -- Addit. 1712 O, "written in a good, regular Estrangela of the sixth century; altered "at a much later period into 'of God' " (Dr. Wright); {END OF QUOTE}
He goes on to mention other manuscripts but this really "caught my eye."
By the way, the book that contains this essay and others at this link........
