Hey Chuck, to me this approach is far better as it puts fourth information whereby leaving the readers to wonder why their Bible does not have verses that are attested to by the most ancient witnesses. Which should/would/will, if their hearts are receptive, cause them to inquire further into the matter of textural criticism. Eventually leading them to the Eastern PeshittA, awmain.
And now even though you are still out to educate people to the fact that these verse should be in their Bibles they will not be able to accuse you of having a bias toward any thing other than telling the truth. I think that by the time you spiffy this composition up it not only will be bullet proof but a powerful witness towards leading people toward facts, that which none can deny, or at lest not with any reasonable/sensible/sane/logical/rational excuse that is.
<!-- s:eh: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/eh.gif" alt=":eh:" title="Eh" /><!-- s:eh: --> on the note of spiffing things up - in #23 where you have "is not [in] the Western Syriac ?Peshitto? Bible (5th century)" is missing the "in" as you see here.
I gladly second the motion of well done. Yes thank you for this very informative essay. It saddens me that I have not the education to help you build this work, but all the same I will be more than elated in helping to distribute this <!-- s:bomb: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bomb.gif" alt=":bomb:" title="The Bomb" /><!-- s:bomb: --> -shell of information to as many people as I possibly can in order to assist in the endeavor of educating the masses as to the FACT that their Bibles should contain many of these verses while leaving out the others, as shown clearly within the structure of your document.
I can see it now - the theory that the RC/NT Scriptures where first penned in Greek will soon be doomed to no end <!-- s
