Shlama Akhi Otto,
You may apply the "perfection" of the Peshitta to the version you prefer, while I apply it to the one I prefer, and we shall not be far apart,except for the Western 5 books and the passage in John 7:53-8:11.
Or do you have doubts about your position? All the types of evidence supporting the Eastern text as the original behind the Greek are also found in the Western five books, and I have listed them in my interlinear and in Divine Contact.You may choose to ignore the evidence if it makes you feel better; I choose not to ignore it.
Do you believe 2 peter, 2 John, 3 John, Jude and Revelation are also late additions by some scribe, or do you believe they are scripture authored by God?
If you believe they are scripture, do you believe the originals were lost and that the apostles Peter, John and Jude wrote them? If so, did they write some books in Aramaic and others in Greek?
I am firm in my position, Otto. I have seen enough to be convinced.
There is a lot of misinformation about the Aramaic editions of the Western five. Many assume that all the editions use the Harklean translation from Greek for those books. That is simply false, as anyone who has compared the Harklean to Gwynn's edition of those books would see. I would never defend the Harklean version as original.
I hope this explains my position a bit more clearly.
