Quote:The same way someone who says "neighbour" will be reconized as "British", and the others who say "neighbor",as "American". I never said that the difference would be incredible.
Is that the kind of difference? Please....
What we have in the Eastern Peshitta Manuscripts, is the same content as was 1st given to the 1st Christians of the Church of the East in the 1st century...as early as 78 A.D. I have seen nothing that shows otherwise.
This talk about an "old Syriac" version, which is said to be different...where is it?
And if you know where it is, and can see it is so different than the Peshitta Aramaic text, then show us what is so different, please.
Lets look at the evidence and stop talking about what might be or what might have been. Otherwise, it's all just empty conjecture and assumptions. Guesswork.
Don't waste time...show us what has been lost or changed in The Aramaic Scriptures. What are we missing, and what should we be concerned about when we read and study what we have in the Peshitta Manuscripts? Can you give us, say the big five differences, if you know at least that many?
I have been going through, verse by verse, word by word, letter by letter, every day to see what is found in the Eastern Peshitta text, and is found in the Khabouris Codex, and the Manuscript that was given to Dr. Ashael Grant in the 1840s by the Patriarch of the Church of the East at the time, both Manuscripts said to be from about the 9th-11th centuries, and then comparing them to the readings from other Manuscripts such as 14470, 14475, 14473, 14453, all of which are said to be from the 5th-6th century... and that of the Mingana Codex (1613 A.D.) and the Mosul printed edition of 1886 ...and I see nothing of any concern, as to being different in the content of the message and wording, as found in the Eastern Peshitta text.
