_The Peshitta Holy Bible_ translated by David Bauscher

[gbausc]

David, I noticed your notes for Col 3:6, 7.  Do you believe in Universal Restoration i.e. are you a universalist?
I've posted pro-UR material at

I am. So is the Church of the East traditionally. See the theology of Theodore of Mopseustia and others of the Aramaean church tradition such as Aphraates and Ephraim the Syrian.

2 Esdras loses me after 1:1 where the writer claims to be Ezra the prophet who lived in the days of King Josiah.
Baruch does the same in 1:1 and following when he claims to be Baruch the scribe in the days of King Jeconiah in the Babylonian captivity. No one believes these books were written in the days of King Josiah or of King Jeconiah. These books are called apocryphal for a reason: "• (apocrypha) writings or reports not considered genuine."- Oxford New World Collegiate Dictionary
