Query in favour of Greek
#8
Hi searcher,

Don't apologize. I'm at work as well.

You know, all you're really doing is cutting and pasting existing arguments for Greek Primacy. I'd like to engage your own thought, and I would like for the conversation to be concise and limited in scope to one topic. Things get accomplished that way, not with long posts that are all over the place.

Let's discuss your point about dialect. You said (and I'm paraphrasing out of necessity) - that if the Peshitta was written by the Apostles right after the events, then it should be in the exact same dialect of Aramaic that they spoke.

Can I ask you: what Aramaic dialect is the GNT written in ? Jesus' exact Aramaic dialect?

You see where I'm going with this, I'm sure.

Why do you hold the Peshitta to a different standard than you hold th GNT? (Whichever version you consider the "original")

My answer to you on why the NT was penned in an eastern Aramaic dialect, is the same reason you will find Greek Primacists believe it was penned in Koine.

It's because, by multiple orders of magnitude- the eastern dialect was the most populous in number. Everyone (Jew and Gentile) from the Euphrates to India understood and spoke it. It had the widest reach. It still does today. Always has.

What you call "Syriac" is, in fact the "Koine" of Aramaic, back then ... Today, and Tomorrow.

Sure, they could have penned the NT in some obscure "Galilean" dialect - but their Jewish (and, Gentile)brethren in Syria, Turkey, Jordan, Turkey, Mesopotamia and Persia would have a harder time with it.

Your thoughts on this (one, please) point ?
