Hi Mike,
Nothing that you have posted has bothered my trust in Christ and belief in true doctrine. Nor could it! <!-- s
--><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> And as you keep going through The Aramaic Scriptures, you will see that there isn't a single place, where The Message isn't the same as in the Greek version. I have found that some details of clearer in the Aramaic text, and make better sense in a few places...but it's not like having another Bible, like say, the Quran is for the Muslim, or the Book of Mormon is for the Mormon.
The Aramaic Scriptures IS the Bible...and so is The Greek Scriptures and the Latin?and so forth, as to The Message they carry. The Aramaic Text was given to the Aramaic speaking Christians, and the Greek text was given to the Greek speaking Christians and the Latin to the Latin?s?and so forth. And even though there isn?t a perfect translation in any of the various "families" and thousands of copies, they carry the very same Message of Hope and Salvation unto those who are lost in the darkness.
The light of The Gospel has gone out, and still goes out to all Peoples, in their language. But I don't know of any translation or manuscript that?s perfect in every respect. Nor do they need to be, to get The Message out, as long as they do not carry another "message".
I like working in The Word Garden, helping to get and keep the weeds out...pesky those weeds! But I?m learning a lot about the plantings of God as I toil in the field.
Blessings,
Chuck
