Greetings Andrew. Thanks for your reply to my question. When I read the 'reference' to this on page 69 'Ruach Qadim, Aramaic Origins of the NT', "therefore when Y'Shua was suffering on the cross,..." it immediately brought me to question the authenticity of statement. Was it a word translated from an Aramaic word? Did He really die on a cross? You see, for many years part of my study into His beautiful word has focussed on the 'pagan' origins and the 'syncretisms' of pagan ways in the context of Revelations 18:4. Andrew, you refer to 'Christian majority tradition', can you explain this to me?
Your statement about no wanting 'broach the subject because of theological restrictions' I do not understand but nevertheless I will respect.
Andrew, your 'exception to a broad based charged....' is absolutely refuted. I did not intend to rebuke or cast aspersions. Forgive me, I am sorry that you took it in this way. What I am finding in the reading of Ruach Qadim...(I am about to order 'The Path to Life', is pearls of wisdom and much enlightenment when reading from my Condordant Literal Version. I note that the Old Syriac is favoured over the Alexandrian and Vaticanus! Many of the Aramaic words that you have brought out do appear in this translation so it is helping hugely.
Anyway, thankyou for responding to my question. I did not think that I would hear from you.
Shalom from NZ
