Paul Younan Wrote:St. John, the Church where I serve, used to be a Protestant church that approached the CoE to become united with it (about 15 years ago). When the clergy were sent over, we found the church loaded with Lamsa bibles all over the pews. One of the first acts was to get rid of them all.
The CoE considers both Lamsa and Errico heretics.
Shlama Akhi Paul,
I have an idea! How about the COE purchase the rights to Lamsa's version from the Aramaic Bible Society, then revise it, I mean correct it to conform to COE & "orthodox" Christian doctrine (& modern English) & make it available (for free download/purchase/both) for Syriac Christians and everyone else! Turn something hererical into something that upholds the truth of the Christian faith!
Take a look at this free Bible to see what I mean:
