Dear Dave,
Thanks, for the useful information. It clarifies much.
However, I think you side-stepped the issue of your contention that the Online Bible version of the Peshitto is the PERFECT TEXT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT as shown by so-called "Bible Codes". You have stated that if even one letter is removed or added you would lose your ???Bible Codes???. Apparently, your faith in your ???Bible Codes??? supercedes all logic about or considerations of textual history or properties.
The Online Bible version of the 22 books of the Peshitta which you believe to be PERFECT does not agree exactly with the revered Eastern Peshitta or the Khabouris manuscript and they CANNOT each be PERFECT.
As I interpret your answer, you still think that the Online Bible version that you used is the ONE AND ONLY PERFECT NEW TESTAMENT, but you will not object to other people (including Andrew) using NON-perfect versions because you believe that the differences are small in terms of number of letters or words (excluding The Pericope Adultera).
Here is what you wrote on page 8 of your new book, Original Aramaic New Testament in Plain English"
"I believe what I have in my possession and from which I have translated here (The
Aramaic text, not the translation itself) is the exact, word for word, letter for letter,
original and Divinely authored New Testament! It contains no errors of any kind
historical, grammatical, orthographical, textual, geographical, scientific, or
theological!"
I think it is important for everyone to clearly understand your inflexible position.
Sincerely,
Otto
