I now have a website!

[Andrew Gabriel Roth]

Andrew, You have a great website. It has very important essence. Moreover, the Acrobat Reader is a very good for the documents.
I wish You would secure NT Peshitta e.g. from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.peshitta.org">http://www.peshitta.org</a><!-- w --> into Acrobat Reader.
I wonder why the articles are put into Acrobat Reader and nobody puts the PESHITTA into Acrobat Reader. I would do it if I knew how to do it.

AGR:

Shlama Akhi Ivan, and todah for your kind words.

Converting Word into pdfs is very easy to do. I just never saw the need to do so with the Word docs and fonts that are here at peshitta.org. Any Word doc can be converted to Adobe with the full version of Acrobat, and this I happen to have. It's not a bad idea. I can probably do it myself. All that is needed is to merge all the Word docs into one Word doc, and then hit the pdf icon to convert it, while making sure the estrangela is embedded in the doc.

Andrew, I plan one day to discuss with you about Ashuri script. It seems to me that we have many common thoughts on this subject.
The last thing. The article "Doctrinal insights from the Peshitta" does not seem to fit into Your website. I DO NOT SAY "Yes" to this book. Let the Holy Spirit personally put doctrines into the hearts of every Christian. The people's doctrines have been making splits in Christianity throughout the history. How one dares to make his own doctrines in the way as if the Peshitta does this?

Ivan, I don't know what you are talking about. That article is not by me but by Christopher Lancaster, and I saw nothing in that initial series that mainstream Nazarenes or Christians would have an issue with. However, I do certainly believe that there are critical doctrinal insights that only come from the Peshitta, not the least of which is that Y'shua is YHWH and that Godhead is made up of QNOMEH rather than "persons". On those scores, I will shout that from the rooftops every time. Besides which, the Holy Spirit can work through people, in dialogue that is either verbal or electronic, and through rightly dividing the Word, the Holy Spirit can put the truth into a believer. It is not merely a process that only comes about from solitary study and prayer.

Finally, the fact that the website is called <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.aramaicntTRUTH.org">http://www.aramaicntTRUTH.org</a><!-- w --> should be sufficient to suggest that I am not taking a relativistic all views are okay kind of slant, but advocating a firm position. While I don't agree with everything Chris says and think in many respects he needs to take more time in refining his approach and his argument, I did not see a serious issue witht he way he wrote to exclude him. If you think otherwise though, know that it was not my intention to offend, but only to share points of view that might lead to a free and fair exchange of ideas.

Hope this helps!

Ivan.
