Peace and Blessings,
Distazo, I understand where you're coming from. Moreover, I appreciate the tone of your post.
I do think that there are parts in the Gospels, particularly in a few of Jesus' sayings, that have a genuine Aramaic origin. On the same coin, there are many parts thereof that are legitimately koine Greek, as I have demonstrated. As far as the poetry in the Syriac is concerned, while it sounds beautiful, it remains correlational.
