Shlama all,
A hot debate on Aramaic Primacy has erupted on the Assyrian Church forum and I'm to blame for it. I replied to a post on this
thread by answering the most common Zorban arguments and now the forum admin (Robert Khanisho) has requested that someone who is well verse in the topic join me in the discussion. Of course I of know better place than here to find such a person, so who wants to join in? <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->
Shalom, Shlama, Salaam & Yiasou.

Makes no difference to me really, just passing on Robert's (the forum admin) request, though he's free to come to this forum if he so chooses. As for Senalko's post, well I guess I just saw the usual Zorban dribble and felt inspired to write a concise (well sort of) and to the point rebuttal to it on this occasion. Since the Church of the East has more Peshitta primacists than any other church (go figure) addressing Aramaic primacy on their forum will be more fruitful and generate much healthier debates than on other Christian forums (for obvious reasons, example: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=91819">http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=91819</a><!-- m -->), and while we can't venture too deeply into the theological implications of Aramaic primacy here we can do so there.
BTW Senalko is registered here as Eddie Yousif, he's only posted here a few times (figured it out from his MSN messenger name).
Shalom, Shlama, Salaam & Yiasou.

Shlama Akhay,
It's interesting this has come up now....Christina, Qasha Genard has invited me to come down to Australia this year to present on Aramaic and Peshitta primacy. So I am really looking forward to meeting with the community down there and also presenting our viewpoint!

Shlama Akhi Paul,
If and when you go down there, could you please make a recording, be it a video or audio recording, or the lecture?
I'd like it for my own reference when preaching peshitta primacy, but also, if you choose to, you could put it on youtube for the mass of christians there to look at and think about. Anyway.
David R.

Sorry, not a debate, a teaching, got mixed up with the topic of this thread.
