Hmmm ok. Let me be as literal as I see some here:
The Angel told Joseph he would name the child, not Mary name it.
Now you know where I'm going with this, right? Let's continue,..
How about another in the same chapter? The angel said " Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy betrothed.
Now most of the Greek manuscripts and the Peshitta both got that wrong, because Joseph wasn't gonna accept Mary as his wife since she had a child already from someone else, IE she wasn't pure. He even kept it to himself rather than expose her to others around, exibiting the righteousness that The Lord loves in people. The angel in this case stated it correct to him, she was his betrothed at that point, until/unless he accepted her as his wife.
Guess where I found that? You will hate me If i tell you.
Why I'm stating this? Because, I found mistakes within the Peshitta also. Does that mean I plan on throwing it out? Not at all, in fact it goes much farther to present the truths than other languages do.
Now you can say I'm splittin hairs or some other excuse here, but there is 2 mistakes within the same chapter. Right there in front of you, in the first book as a matter of fact.
EDIT: I had thought to erase this post as I didn't want to promote some from of anger on here. But the more i read it and how my spirit lit up, I decided to let the post stay.
Now, I would expect one of you to chime in here and start explaining some. For me, truth is my guide. I have started to look at Hebrew custom a bit, and it's unveiling some issues here.
