Aramaic Primacy in the East

[distazo]

Distazo,

There are problems with your reasoning there.

But, do you see that you just made an assumption in your statement there? You said that the text is not perfect...and that there is no way to verify it except by assumption or faith, so you just assume it's not.

Can you show me any place that the text and message is not perfect?

I probably have told you already. On this forum, there was a reference to a certain 'Mar' who told he had seen a Peshitta in Edessa from 78 which had no left out words. We can conclude that the versions he knew must have had some copy-errors which he knew.

An example of a left out text is here: John 6:11 certainly misses the full text which the Greek does have. Not Yeshu distributed the bread, but his disciples did.

Another left out text is John 8. This text is authentic, but not in the Peshitta. Reasons why this was left out, are quite obvious. To some, it must have been terrible that the adultrous woman was not executed. Now huge discussions will follow on these two remarks. I'm sorry I replied anyway. These type of discussions are really not my interest any more.
They lead to nothing, and to asumpted 'holy truths' which I have seen too often in cults.

Gods word IS disturbed slightly by errors, just as you also have seen for the OT, (and do not tell me that the Peshitta tanakh is the only -non-disturbed text! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> )
But as I already explained, I have full confidence, we have the full *message* just as our DNA (though disturbed as well) is full enough to live and to experience God.

A truth can be confirmed by holy spirit. Dot.
