Doug in CO Wrote:It makes sense to me that someone who is already Messianic would find the new Aramaic texts more in line with what they are doing, if for no other reason than the various divine names are properly translated. It just seemed to me that starting to take Aramaic seriously as the original NT language also seemed to steer people towards Messianic worship practices. I am curious why that is.
Shlama Akhi Doug:
Dare I say that it is the stimulated interest in the Hebrew roots of Christianity. Aramaic Primacy is the most refined offering of the Assyrian people to the world. This generation is seeing the fruition of Aramaic Primacy coupled with the strong zeal of the CoE and the Christian sect of Netzarim Judaism. I'm a Christian of Jewish descent and have spent over 35 years in the Messianic "bubble", so to speak. Judaism and Christianity are not mutually exclusive, as some seem to think. I think this is why we are seeing a zealous response to some of the posts that straddle the *cusp of two world/spiritual views.
*cusp-a projecting point where two arcs meet, as in the internal curve of an arc
