"Western five"

[Stephen Silver]

I believe that COE reflects the very early stage of our Christianity.

Shlama Akhi Zardak:
As Ivan has correctly hinted at, the Western Five may very well have been written some time after the 22 book Aramaic Peshitta was delivered to the See of Babylon by the Apostle Thomas. If they were written any time close to the destruction of the Temple, the Apostles may not have been able to make a second delivery to the See of Babylon. I hope I have understood you correctly Ivan, however this point has been discussed on one of these forums. Perhaps Akhi Zardak, you should read more of the older forum topics and posts and you won't find us repeating ourselves to answer you. Much of what you have presented has already been discussed.
In very fact, the Church of the East had no knowledge of the Western Five for over 1000 years. I believe that Shamasha Paul Younan can verify this as factual.

Moreover Akhi Zardak, do you believe that II John and III John were written by the Apostle and Evangelist John, who wrote what is called in the west, I Epistle of John? I Epistle of John uses Mashikha d''gala (Aramaic) while II Epistle of John uses the term antichristos(Greek). Are these Epistles written by the same person, using both terms?
