Paul, I guess, at the end of the day, it is YOUR translation. The questions I was asking were purely coming from a translator/linguists perspective.
The fact is, my questions (many) have been unanswered. For whatever reason, you have deemed to make personal attacks (this belongs in the realm of ...) Yes, there is much content which does not line up theologically, i.e. use of pagan words and titles. I pray, sincerely, that you change the way you relate to people who have genuine questions about the authenticity of the Peshitta and YOUR translation/interpretation of it.
It is pointless for me to continue so I will leave it all at that. Thank you to those who corresponded in the Ruach.
Albion, Nehemia as far as I know is not a believer in Messiah, let's pray for a revelation here, that he comes into a realisation. I never intentioned anything by quoting him except to say he uses the Names.
You asked me if the Peshitta New Covenant should translate the sacred Name in Hebrew?
FirstIy, it does not matter what we think, it matters that if the Name is not transliterated (in the case of the translation here) it is as Paul Younan states, 'substituted'. In other words, IF the Peshitta does not carry the original Hebrew Name as given to Moshe, then it is questionable as to its' authenticity.
Secondly, my question to Paul regarding the use of Lord and God was why use these when the Hebrew equivalent (transliteration) was there in the first place? To use these words, for example, to my horror, I have just found that the Aramaic to English translation of Mattai 16:18 the translator uses another pagan word "CHURCH'. This word and it's Hebrew equivalent (if you could even state such a thing) is diametrically opposed in meaning and intent. Why use it? Unless the translator is coming from a preconceived doctrinal or religious background. Let the reader be aware! This rendition of the this Peshitta serves no good to those looking for the real truth, please do not be offended.
Once again, thank you to those who have engaged in my thread(s).
Shalom,
Mark
