For Andrew Gabriel Roth
#90
Shlama Akhi Spyridon,

The details of my life story are on my website, <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.aramaicnttruth.org">http://www.aramaicnttruth.org</a><!-- w -->, in the article "Learning the Basics". I think I recently copied and pasted that here too if I am not mistaken.

I have been studying Hebrew and Aramaic my whole life is the simplest answer. I learned Hebrew growing up Jewish and going to Hebrew school in NY. I was a bit of a slow learner growing up and I did not speak until about age 4. At that time, when I began learning Hebrew, I believe my language learning skills were at their peak, whereas if I were more "normal" I think that would have been a year or two earlier. It would be much later of course when I learned that within my "Hebrew" liturgy Aramaic lurked and loomed very large. When I became a Nazarene and later when I found the Peshitta, it seemed the missing piece for what I was trying to do in terms of study.

As for who taught me doctrine wise I suppose I am not much different than anyone else. I have learned from many people over the years. I can point to one person who showed me proof of YHWH's existence and another who was a Christian who was most responsible for bringing me to Y'shua. There were others that influenced my walk as a Nazarene and others still into Aramaic Primacy. And today, yes, I continue to learn and be taught by a wide variety of lay people and scholars. In short, I don't have one mentor--I have about two dozen or so and from each one I got a little piece until, with much persistence and prayer, I emerged essentially with what I believe now.

I suppose the thing that has been most helpful though is a burning desire to learn and understand and to never give up on that quest. As you see, I don't settle for anything being a "mystery"--it is simply a question I haven't gotten around to answering yet. I may not always succeed to be sure, but I certainly think it is true that if you shoot for understanding 100% of the time you will come away with more than you need most of the time. My overall attitude is if I can't prove it, I don't say it. Granted that doesn't mean my positions cannot be debated, but I do my best to ground myself in plain meanings probably moreso than many of my brethren. But with the release of Mari my general ban on doing the more esoteric and prophetic analysis is definitely set aside in some instances.
