It's quite easy Dave,
-for me, I have no language barriers. You do, but I don't.
-Also, I have no bias towards what could be wrong or what could be right, you do as you claim inerrancy, I don't.
In those regards, I would go to the oldest and least interpolated text, then work my way through the variants, comparing and validating what is right and what is wrong, working with The Spirit of Truth, you wouldn't do that since you only wish to find one text that you can place a claim on and go from there, no matter what may be in it or what is missing.
You want the "easy hand it to you place your bets on and be done with it text," similar to the King James Only folks except your would be called "peshitta-onlyism."
I want the most correct text, so mine would be called an eclectic text.
But besides this, let's hear your reasoning as to why this section of text does not belong in there Dave. I'll buy you a clue, "because it's not in the peshitta" is not an answer, that is a language bias. Just so you would know ahead of time.
