Quote:It's down to quote wars folks, the peshitta hater against the peshitta promoterI'm not a peshitta hater and I never will be. My NIV rightfully indexes some Peshitta variants, for example.
Quote:To be honest with you, the Spirit-filled Christians want it all.To take your quote out of context, I agree with this. Nothing will satisfy some christians, and this leads to gnosticism. As much as I tried to avoid it while being a pro-peshitta person, I couldn't help but succumb to it. Being a westerner, it was like pioneering the rediscovering of biblical criticism back in the age of the reformation, when biblical languages were just being rediscovered. After asking some Greek professors about it, I started pondering whether or not God would let something like this take place, the need for a complete rediscovery of the New Testament.
It isn't my intention to make anyone upset, but I can imagine it might.
