Shlama,
Please don't become discouraged with his compilation of evidences just because some of his beliefs are offending you. His work on the Aramaic Text is concerned with the superiority of it over the Greek and the examples are from so many perspectives that it's an excellent read. The Hebrew Old Testament and 22-book canon of the Peshitta with the later texts of the Western 5 (2nd Peter, 2nd & 3rd John, Jude, and Revelation) give us a fully Semitic Bible. Even though the extra-Peshitta (Western 5) books have a few curious readings, the grammar is far more intact (99.9% flawless most likely) and there are words with multiple meanings which clear up some foggy areas on troubling passages such as the word for "bed" can also mean "coffin" in the passage where Yeshua states that He will throw Jezebel into a bed. The next verse says that He will slay her children with death so the "coffin" reading seems superior. Just keep in mind that this is a compilation of proof-texts from several contributors and not a theologically biased work.
