Aramaic Primacy in the East

[distazo]

Is the Peshitta still held as the original New Testament in the East as commonly stated on this board?

Still? Who hold or held it as 'original'? Can you name some? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

I see it like this; Jesus has taken care there is *sufficient* redundancy in the text. Even if there are mistakes in copying or translating.

Take our DNA for instance, do we have the *original DNA* like Adam and Eve had? NO way. But we still are humans and perfect beings physically, enough to live say for 70 or 80 years.
(Our DNA is damaged. For instance, we seemed to have been able to produce our own vitamine C but now we must eat it to stay healthy)

The East text is not perfect either and there is no way to verify it, except by assumption or faith. If it were that important, Yeshu would have revealed it to important prophets today. But he does not. Why? Because Yeshu, the Logos/Milta never died (except 3 days). Words on paper die or can be scratched, but Jesus always can repeat the same words as is necessary.
