hi paul,
let me do some more reading before i give you a thorough analysis.. and i will try to be objective... but I have always had the "feeling" that the peshitta in the language of Jesus must be of primacy and even that from what little i know of aramaic that it has levels of spiritual meaning that loosing in any translations... i had a dream once (But I don't believe in dreams prophecizing so to me it just tells me my inner hopes not anything fated) and in that dream I was on an archeological dig in "Assyria" and I found the original Aramaic writings written by Jesus on his teachings, and then I woke up.. bummer.. it was just getting good.. I also had a holy spirit encounter once early 20s where I felt the presence of jesus of pure peace love compassion and more than words can express... so I know there is something special there, either cause of some divine spirit in him or because my subconscious needed me to think that.. but to me either is equally valid for me to strive to learn more about what Jesus' message really was, unadulterated and uncorrupted by translations and people of power and politics and delusions and all the other things that have since tarnished any documents written by people... so I will read more here and elsewhere to learn more for I do believe this is the closest we have yet but I have to read more before i can say more than BELIEVE and say it analytically as I assume you are asking me here... give me a week or two for I have some things going on personally that are going to consume my time the next weeks, but I will giveyou my full analysis once I can do that intelligently and informed.. but I do admire what you are doing here and I agree with a lot of what I have read so far that you have written, even a heretic like me can tell a good man and sincere efforts and gleam the truth from religious documents, and I am always open to learning something new and changing my views if given evidence or inspiration <!-- s
