And Dave as to the question you keep saying I don't answer...I don't know if the reading in the Eastern Peshitta for Acts 20:28 is not found in ANY Greek Manuscript that contains the verse...because I have not, nor has anyone looked at them all to see.
And I don't know where exactly the "Chuch of God, which He purchased with His own blood" comes from, if not from the Original Peshitta Text, (which I believe is faithfully retained in the Eastern Text, not the Western Text)... I believe one way, you believe another...people do that about things, its called disagreement. But I don't look at the Western Peshitta as being full of errors, as some may. I think that those who edited that text, believed strongly that they were being faithful to what they considered the true text.
And finally....I doubt VERY seriously if anyone has physically checked 900 Greek Manuscripts for John 8:1-11... Maybe? Seems unlikely to me though. And I'll check on the info I have about only 50 or so Manuscripts that were looked at to construct the "Majority text". But that is what I recall.
Blessings,
Chuck
