People who have spent many years learning NT greek are very unlikely to admit that they may have been studdying the wrong language. As people become aware of the peshitta, a minority of younger people will begin to study it in preference to the greek NT. Sooner or later the ammount of people studying the peshitta will reach "critical mass". The debate will move from internet forums to more scholarly places. Greek primacy is well and trully finished once this happens. They have nothing. No evidence.
For many decades christians have had their texts attacked, as lacking integrity.
The time will come when christains themselves see that the best argument for the integrity of the NT comes from peshitta primacy. No longer will the arguments used to show that the hebrew bible was editted and redacted be able to be used to show the same process occorred to the NT.
This will be interesting because the various christians cults and sects (and I include protestantism and catholicism in this) will be more then likely be forced to let go of other ideas and traditions.
