Peshitta Manuscript

[*Albion*]

Let me give this a shot.

A few weeks ago Paul Younan challenged me to separate true Christianity/Messiah's Way, from the PAGAN "idea" that "God can DIE".

CAN GOD DIE?

Maybe better yet, DID GOD DIE?

NO, but Messiah DID.

If these verses are right:

A) ...for He, with the exception of God, for all mankind had tasted death.
B) ...for He, by the grace of God, for all mankind had tasted death.

Perhaps ONLY PART of Messiah Died.

And only THEN, to show US how to do the same.

I had to really think through, that God DID NOT DIE.

That GOD CANNOT DIE.

Perhaps, I'll make a Nestorian Yet....................Albion

shlom lokh akh Stephen,

In regards to ( 'evroye 2:9 ) the only difference in sentence is the following, and they are in the same position:
A) khabouris => sTar m??n
B) official Peshitto => bTaybooth??h

A) ...for He, with the exception of God, for all mankind had tasted death.
B) ...for He, by the grace of God, for all mankind had tasted death.

-Assuming I translated (A) properly; it indicates that msheeho's second person tasted death, but not His first person. This further indicates that msheeho without His first person tasted death for us and showed us how to overcome death.
-Assuming I translated (B) properly; it indicates that msheeho tasted death for us, by a grace from God, to help us overcome death.

I think they both end up saying the same thing, but I leave it to theologians and better translators than my self to figure this one out.
