Akhan Mark,
When you arrive in the Kingdom of Heaven, you may personally ask the authors of the NT why they chose not to transliterate the Hebrew name of God into the Aramaic NT. Like I stated several times, the tradition was well established that in Aramaic, the name of God was not transliterated. EVER. It could have easily been done, but people chose not to do it for a variety of reasons.
If the NT was penned in Hebrew, I would expect to see YHWH there. But it wasn't. It was penned in Aramaic, so I would expect to see MarYah there.
If that, for whatever reason, casts doubt, to you, as to the authenticity of the Aramaic NT, then so be it - I really couldn't care less to tell you the truth. Your opinion means nothing to me.
Like I said, I have nothing further to add.
Every once in a while we get a noob on this forum who thinks he knows everything when in fact he doesn't know squat. You've been nothing but combative and annoying since your arrival here, everything from a Sabbath resurrection, to now this YHWH issue.
It's obvious you have an agenda, one would have to be blind not to see it in your writing. If the Aramaic scriptures disappoint you, there is an easy solution - hit the back button on your browser and go to a forum that studies the Hebrew Names Version or any other "Hebrew" NT that's derived from the KJV. It will make you feel real good that "YHWH" is written there - perhaps lending some "authenticity" to that version.
Sheesh. Look at what we have to deal with around here. I guarantee you that for as long as this forum is up, we will get the occasional "mark" who comes in with the "but, uh, why don't you gather on the Sabbath, clean your hands before you eat, and why do you not wear a kuppah - and what's with the MarYah thing?" <!-- s:crazy: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/crazy.gif" alt=":crazy:" title="Crazy" /><!-- s:crazy: -->
