Paul,
I have been reading many of your' and other' posts on Old Scratch and y'all have very well shown how the OLD SCRATCH is nothing other than a revision of the Peshitta to conform it with the BEZAE Greek text. There is no doubt in my mind that it is not an original Aramaic text.
I will have to admitt here that the imfomus Dr. Trimm had me thinking that it was of the oldest Aramaic Texts but thanks to you guys I can see clearly that HE, as well as OLD SCRATCH, is WRONG. Please never tire of refuting James or many of us (as less educated than he <!-- s
tupid: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/withstupid.gif" alt="tupid:" title="Stupid" /><!-- stupid: --> ) would not understand that for the best New Testament one needs look no farther than the Aramaic Peshitta. Personally I can only understand the English language and will have to rely on people like you to get a translation of it into the English language. Other than your Interlinear is there a complete English translation of the Peshitta that you recommend. I do not want to read from the ones that claim to be a Peshitta translation but in reality used the King Iames version as their underlying text, as I think of them to be in the same catagory as OLD SCRATH - i.e.: TRASH! I wish for only the purest English translations of the Eastern Peshitta, for as when it comes to seeking The Anointed One' WORD only the Eastern Peshitta will do <!-- s:onfire: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/onfire.gif" alt=":onfire:" title="On Fire" /><!-- s:onfire: -->, awmane(?)!
Again thanks. <!-- s:bigups: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bigups.gif" alt=":bigups:" title="Big Ups" /><!-- s:bigups: -->
