Bible Codes in Peshitta
#46
Steve,

I don't need you to keep me honest, thank you very much.

I also don't need your lectures on the word of God and salvation. I have always loved the word more than you can know; His salvation more than you can imagine.
We can exchange charges of dishonesty if you like. I don't see your efforts as entirely
benevolent and benign, to say the least. Protest all you like. You have falsely accused me of heresy , deceitful doctrine, soothsaying, violating some unknown prohibition against statistical analysis in the Torah, carrying on a charade, presumptuously speaking as God, or for God. I am arrogant and proud, etc..

These are all your opinions. You cannot prove those things. You have condemned me without a witness, yet you constantly boast in the Torah as your guide -"In the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established."The NT affirms," Against an elder, bring not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses."You are the tool of the Devil in slandering me and the work I do. I will oppose your statements until you retract them.

If you disagree with what I have written, that's fine. Point out the area of disagreement. You go far beyond that. You
pontificate about matters of which you are ignorant. You expostulate in areas in which you have no expertise or experience.

What training do you have ? How long have you been in the ministry ? What are your credentials that qualify you as an authority in any of the matters you have discussed ?

I will retract my hypothesis when the data
disproves it, not before.

You are not only ignorant, you are proud of it. You are everything you have accused me of being.
"You therefore are without excuse, you who pass judgement on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgement do the same things."
Romans 2:1

If ever anyone has fulfilled that verse, you have.
Do you think you will escape the judgement of God for this ? The Holy Spirit says you will not (v.3).

Of course, if you repent, I will forgive you.

Mercy be with you,

Dave

Shalom/Shlama, brothers. <!-- sSmile --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><!-- sSmile -->

I wish to know, where can I find a file in internet with the program of the Bible Code, the all Old Testament (Tanakh) in Hebrew and the New Testament (Peshitta) in Aramaic ? Where these softwares (Hebrew and Aramaic) are sold? How much these programs?
Does anybody have any information about it?

Shlama Akhi Yohanan,


Go to the site <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://ad2004.com">http://ad2004.com</a><!-- m --> and look for the Bible codes software link. Roy Reinhold has plenty of programs for this; the best one is Codefinder, which will have The Peshitta included in the next edition (May 2005 ?). It does have The Hebrew Tanach included.

Many blessings,

Greetings to all,

Since the last remaining post of April 2005, (many were wiped out by the recent hacker) I have finished and published several books on The Peshitta NT,
including The Aramaic-English Interlinear New Testament, The Original Aramaic New Testament in Plain English, Divine Contact-The Discovery of The Original New Testament, Jegar Sahadutha-Heap of Witness (Evidence for the Aramaic original New Testament), and an Aramaic-English & English Aramaic Dictionary.

The interlinear and the plain English translations each have hundreds of detailed examples showing how the author of the Greek texts mistranslated Aramaic words to produce certain Greek readings. Many are illustrated in Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic script, Estrangela & Greek letters, showing beyond a reasonable doubt that the Peshitta and Crawford texts (The Crawford includes the entire NT but is not Harklean, nor even like the Harklean) are the base text from which the Greek text types were all derived.

The examples cover every book of the 27 book Western canon!

Divine Contact documents how I discovered Bible codes in The Peshitta by performing an experiment, searching for ELS's of 95 divine names and titles in Hebrew and Aramaic, most as they occur in Hebrew and Aramaic scripture. I explain the procedure and method in the book, and will not go into the details here.

The Peshitta codes mathematically establish via literally millions of data points that the Peshitta New Testament in the present critical text form was written by God Himself!

I also document in the book other analysis which compares The Peshitta with the Greek NT, to determine which of the two is a translation of the other. There are principles described in a German study, among others, showing that this can be determined. I used the Greek LXX and Hebrew OT as a model experiment by which to compare the NT results, since we know The LXX is a translation of The Hebrew Bible.

The NT results for twenty exhaustive cognate word pair searches in Aramaic & Greek unanimously and unequivocally coincide with the results of The LXX-Hebrew comparisons, showing the Greek texts to be translated from the Semitic original (Aramaic-Hebrew).

The data is not a few examples here and there; it involves a total of at least 15,000 data points (total numbers of words occurring in all texts searched). For the word pairs meeting the criteria necessary to qualify as a significant cognate word pair to be analyzed (the details are in the book), every one of those pairs supports the Peshitta primacy model!

The text analyzed in all the experiments is the critical 1905,1920,1979, etc. Syriac Peshitta edition published by the British & Foreign and American Bible Societies.

These two analyses are just the beginning. I did many more tests, all of which are documented. Most of the computer analyses are non-code related, but determinations of primacy-translation relationship by examining the words of the respective texts and the various ratios that exist for each word pair.

If the codes are too much to accept for some, the other data are much less esoteric and manageable, and yet they support the secondary conclusion of the codes experiment: The Peshitta Aramaic NT is the original text from which the Greek NT books were each translated.

The Interlinear and Plain English translations add even more and a different kind of evidence to "The Heap of Witnesses" discussed in Divine Contact.

Anyone truly interested in the subject of which New Testament is the original will want to read and study the aforementioned books.

The greatest and most powerful evidence for me is The Peshitta text itself. I truly became acquainted with it as I translated it word by word from beginning to end as an interlinear, and then again when doing the English prose translation from the interlinear.

[font=]The Peshitta is simply
Too perfect and beautiful,
Too precise and detailed,
Too Divine and Heavenly,
Too Magnificent and Majestic,
Too sharp and piercing,
Too sweet and moving,
Too powerful & alive,
Too full and surprising,
Too miraculous and real,
Too pure and ingenuous,
Too deep, too high,
Too timeless and True,
Too probing and beyond human comprehension,
Too glorious and indescribable
-to be anything but the very original words
uttered by The mouth of The Living God Himself
or written by His very hand..

No, they don't. At least not in a way shown in your divine contact book. In my opinion what is in your book is nowhere near mathematical or statistical analysis (and I have read that book trying very hard to understand all the statistical nitty gritty in spite of the fact of how scarcely that was presented in your book). Although you have mentioned some statistical terms and techniques in the book, the methodology used there is faulty and you have not answered my questions when I tried to elicit from you all necessary information about the analytical process that you have used. Whoever will try to use your book as some sort of proof to a professional statistician is in a danger of being laughed at. David, I have pointed that out to you here about one year ago but you have not answered my questions then and it all disappeared from the board. Sorry to be harsh but you have published it and are making serious claims which require proper proof and sound logic.

Why am I writing this? Because I do not like someone boasting of proofs which are not proofs at all. Also because I think that your ELS is a strangeness which is NOT serving any good to promoting Peshitta and Peshitta primacy. I want to challange the claims from your book again. Are you ready for discussion? Or are you going to avoid the questions again?

Shlama,
Jerzy

Thanks Dave, I understand I got your attention. Good.

I will try to deal with the matter asking one question at a time so we do not get entangled in too many threads. Please bear with me, it may take some time until we get to real methodological problems but there is no hurry. And thanks in advance for your patience.

Let's start with a simple one:
Which text of the Peshitta have you analyzed?

You said that "Kevin Acres sent me an edition of the Aramaic Peshitta version of The NEW TESTAMENT for Codefinder and a copy with a scrambled control text as well." But, can this text (which has 461094 letters and which you have made a base of your findings) be made publicly available in a free electronic format so anyone could for themselves confirm/reject your results? By "free" I mean a non-proprietary format, easy to import to computer programs and easy to parse and use in calculations. If this electronic text was also "free" as in a "free beer" then it would be even better.
An experiment should be independently repeatable.

Hello Jerzy,

The text is a western edition of The Peshitta(o)- the 1905 Peshitta New Testament taken from the Online Bible module , which is free with the free Online Bible program as a download. Please do a Google search for the North American Online Bible site. All the download ancient Bible versions are listed together.
Kevin Acres produced The Codefinder program which I purchased and Roy Reinhold formatted and edited The Peshitta module for the program so it could be searched for codes. I requested in late 2000 if he had heard of The Peshitta, and it turned out that he had been preparing the module for Codefinder, but only released it to a select few individuals shortly after I wrote him. I was one of those individuals.
Codefinder currently comes with two Peshitta editions. One is the critical edition I used, with a few modifications, which I will address later. The other is The Khabouris manuscript edition, which is The Eastern Peshitta text.

The long codes (25 to 191 letters long) I have found occur only in the initial module Roy sent me (461094 letters). The Divine Name codes experiment results are generally the same in any of the three Peshitta editions. That is because the findings for the long codes occurred at very high skip rates (17,000 letters to 100,000 letters), and almost all of them encircle the NT one or more times as a loop. An addition or subtraction of one letter to the text cancels out all the long codes I have found. I have asked Roy to make that module available with Codefinder so that others can duplicate the results. So far, he has refused to do so, supplying a corrected edition and The Khabouris only.
You see, Roy had made a few mistakes in his initial module. He had Luke 6:14 duplicated, one after the other, in his pasting of the text,& with all spaces removed, it is very difficult to see the error. He had also added a letter in each of two other verses in 2 John and Revelation. I look at the long gospel poetry codes as a sign of God's providence in forseeing the exact text Roy would send me with the 51 extra letters added to the 1905 edition and putting the 8 long codes in that edition and in no other. Because I found these codes, I decided to do an experiment to test the premise of God encoding the Peshitta NT. I describe that experiment in my book Divine Contact, where I state the hypothesis, "If God were to put codes in the Bible, He would encode it with His Names and titles in highly significant numbers, far beyond or below the expected frequencies, as a kind of watermark or Divine signature, etc.." You have probably read this already.
I submitted all my results and constantly stayed in consultation with a professional statistician, Ed Sherman, of Bible Code Digest.com . He gave me guidance as to which statistical methods to apply and advised that the control results were to be normal, with a perfect bell shaped curve, for the statistical method to have validity with The Peshitta results. The control text was The same Peshitta text scrambled up. It is exactly the same size and with the exact same letter frequencies and was searched at exactly the same skip ranges, ELS for ELS, word for word, for every one of the 367 searches I performed in The Peshitta for 95 Hebrew and Aramaic Divine names and titles, almost all of which occur in The Hebrew and Aramaic Bibles. The control results were perfectly normal. All search parameters were identical to those used in all Peshitta searches: Same words, same spellings, same skips, same settings in search area.

I also compared the results with searches in a Hebrew version of War and Peace. War & Peace also yielded normal expected results.

Not so, The Peshitta, no matter which version I used.The results are highly unusual, no matter which statistical analysis is used- ANOVA, Standard deviation, Chi Test, Wilcoxen, Poisson, you name it.

Blessings,

Dave

DISREGARD ANY ARGUMENT BASED ON So-Called ???BIBLE CODES???.

The true study of the Peshitta text is not a mathematical or scrabble-like game.

As I reported in a submission to the old forum (that got zapped), Dave Bauscher???s Bible Code ???studies??? and the ???Divine Contact??? theory are completely meaningless.

There is really NOTHING miraculous about Dave???s 95 ???divine names??? study. What he did (and I reproduced) was a simple statistical analysis of the variance of observed short words or groups of Aramaic characters (which he called ???divine names??? ) in an exhaustive sorting and manipulation of equally spaced Aramaic alphabetical characters using a complex computer program and a high-speed computer. All he found in his study of 95 short words (???divine names???) is that the millions of observations that he made with his Peshitto text were MORE VARIED THAN EXPECTED FOR AN IDEAL THEORETICAL DISTRIBUTION of letters. The ideal distribution upon which he based his analysis assumes that the separate letters of the alphabet were perfectly randomly distributed in the text. Of course, they are not. Skipping between letters does not create randomness out of orderliness because the underlying words do not have random letter patterns.

In Dave Bauscher???s study about half of the ???divine names??? were more prevalent than expected and about half were less prevalent. Nothing surprising about these results. However, as I explained their variance about the expected mean values were sometimes much larger than predicted from the ideal theory for random letters. A few were much more frequent and a few were much less freqeuent than the theoretical average. Dave Bauscher reasoned that the larger variance than expected was a Godly miracle. The hypothesis that he framed was that God intentionally put some names in much more frequently than expected and intentionally put some names in much less frequently thah expected. The natural increase in variance caused by the non-random organization of letters in the text he interpreted as a divine contact. All I found looking at his data was a typical Gaussian distribution of observations having a larger than ideal variance.

Alas, all Dave observed was a typical Gaussian (the so-called ???normal???) distribution of observations having a larger than ideal variance. About half of the ???divine names were somewhat more frequent than expected for an ideal sample from an ideal random distribution and about half were less frequent. Some were significantly more common and about an equal number were significantly less common than would be expected for samples from a group perfectly random alphabetical letters. That???s just what you would expect by pure chance since the letters in the text are not perfectly random. The somewhat larger variance is not miraculous, but the result of having a series of letters that are not randomly distributed because they are formed into words and groups of words using the Aramaic language. His ???control??? was a perfectly random distribution of letters, so it agreed with the expectation based on a random distribution of letters. He also wrote that his analysis of a Hebrew version ???War and Peace??? did not give a similar results. But with over 3.1 million characters ???War and Peace??? has almost ten times the characters to juggle and sift through than does the Peshitto, so it might be expected to yield closer to perfect randomness. Also, a translation from Russian would be expected to have other different word/letter structure properties. [But using the same foolish ???Bible code ??? methods, someone has claimed that there was a miraculous find of words related to the Candles of Chanukah, hidden in the first 78064 letters of the Hebrew translation of War and Peace, see <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/dilugim/candles/">http://cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/dilugim/candles/</a><!-- m --> Maybe Dave can find some divine names in that part of War and Peace.]

Previously Dave claimed that this natural phenomena proved that the specific version of the 1905, 1920 Peshitto with 461,094 letters was the perfect original text of the New Testament. I suggested to him that he would get basically the same result even if he removed a chapter from the text. Now I think he is reporting that he got the same basic result with every version of the Peshitto/Peshitta that he tried. Obviously, the so-called ???divine names??? study does not provide any ???Bible Codes???. So, the text with 461,094 letters is not necessarily special.

The so called ???long codes??? are constructed as in a game of ???scrabble???. Dave used the Codefinder long string of letters to search for so-called ???long codes???, a series of letters that created a phrase. Using a seed word or phrase, such as Jesus Messiah, he searched the long string of letters generated by the Codefinder for a phrase that made sense. He found some! Since he did not search for or expect these particular ???long codes???, finding a readable series of letters among the millions of letters dealt by the Codefinder has no statistical significance at all. It is like seeing the perfect image of the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich. It???s a interesting finding, but not statistically unlikely since that is what was found by chance. Finding something you are not expecting has a probability of 100%! He could search any version of the Peshitto/Peshitta and find some other ???long codes???, but what a waste of time and talent.

The true study of the Peshitta text is not a mathematical or scrabble-like game.

Shlama Otto,

You wrote: "All I found looking at his data was a typical Gaussian distribution of observations having a larger than ideal variance."

I have had a professional statistician determine otherwise. Have you had someone similarly qualified evaluate my data and come to your conclusion?
A Gaussian distribution is a normal bell shaped curve in which the following are true:
Quote:For a normally distributed data set, the empirical rule states that 68% of the data elements are within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% are within two standard deviations, and 99.7% are within three standard deviations. Graphically, this corresponds to the area under the curve as shown below for 1 and 2 standard deviations. The empirical rule is often stated simply as 68-95-99.7. Note how this ties in with the range rule of thumb, by stating that 95% of the data usually falls within two standard deviations of the mean.

The data from the Peshitta searches come nowhere near to fitting these normal patterns. 42% of the Standard deviations are greater than 3.0, whereas only 0.3% should be that large. I have Standard Deviations which exceed 15.0 and many are greater than 10.0. The results of the control are perfectly normal, with 0.27% of the Z Scores being 3.0 or more. The War and Peace edition I used is the same size as the Torah (307,804 letters), so it is somewhat smaller than The Peshitta NT. That is the largest alternate literary Hebrew text available for searching ELS's.

Otto, you simply don't know what you're talking about, and your anti code bias is shining through plainly for all to see. I don't think you can be objective about this subject, because you have made up your mind a priori that Bible codes cannot exist, no matter how much evidence exists to the contrary.

Ed Sherman has a very good book available which goes through hundreds of long codes and analyzes them statistically and gives the stat formulas and methods used. The book is Bible Code Bombshell He also takes on Brenadan McKay's purported debunk methods and quite conclusively domonstrates that McKay has not produced anything close to rivaling the long messages found and presented on Bible Code Digest's web site by code researchers PHD Physicist and Mathematician, as well as Hebrew expert,Nathan Jacobi, Moshe Shak and others (including lil' ole' me). McKay has produced a few 7 letter long codes and thinks this disproves Bible codes. We have found dozens of long code messages in long sentences over 40 letters long, many more than 100 letters long; several are several hundred letters long, in The Hebrew and Aramaic Testaments. The statistical probabilities of these occurring by chance are zero, and they have not been duplicated in any control text thus far.


Many Blessings,

Dave

Dear Dave,

My training and experience in statistics are solid.

Your statistician apparently did not carefully read what I wrote and you apparently did not understand it.

What I clearly wrote concerning the distribution of your observations is "...their variance about the expected mean values were sometimes much larger than predicted from the ideal theory for random letters." "Dave Bauscher reasoned that the larger variance than expected was a Godly miracle." THIS IS APPARENTLY STILL YOUR POSITION.

What I clearly wrote and you quoted was "All I found looking at his data was a typical Gaussian distribution of observations having a larger than ideal variance."


However, as I clearly wrote, this is the natural result of "...the natural increase in variance caused by the non-random organization of letters in the text...." Don't you get it? The variance is not ideal but rather is several times larger than the variance for observations that would result from a population of letters that were perfectly random. Your assumed variance is wrong because you assumnptions are wrong. As long as you insist on using an unrealistic theoretical variance that does not apply to this real situation you will reach the same incorrect conclusion.

"Alas, all Dave observed was a typical Gaussian (so-called "normal") distribution of observations having a larger than ideal variance."

Later this week I will calculate the variance correction factor and demonstrate that the results you observed fit quite well into the resulting Gaussian bell-shaped curve with corrected variance.

Sincerely,

Otto

Hi Dave.

I would like to ask you a few questions about your statements below if I may to make certain I understand you clearly.

You said:

???An addition or subtraction of one letter to the text cancels out all the long codes I have found.???

???The long codes (25 to 191 letters long) I have found occur only in the initial module Roy sent me (461,094 letters).???

???You see, Roy had made a few mistakes in his initial module. He had Luke 6:14 duplicated, one after the other, in his pasting of the text, & with all spaces removed; it is very difficult to see the error. He had also added a letter in each of two other verses in 2 John and Revelation. I look at the long gospel poetry codes as a sign of God's providence in foreseeing the exact text Roy would send me with the 51 extra letters added to the 1905 edition and putting the 8 long codes in that edition and in no other.???

Q: How do you say God Put the 8 long codes in Roy???s mistakenly added verse and extra letters in his edited edition he sent you?

Q: Are the 8 long codes still valid and inspired in your judgment? And do you still make mention of these long codes as proof to show the Aramaic as the original in your books and website?


Also you said:

???One is the critical edition I used, with a few modifications, which I will address later.???

Q: Is this the 1905 edition Roy sent you and is it available without Roy???s 51 letter mistaken editorial additions?

Thanks,
Chuck

Shlama Otto,

You wrote
Quote::"All I found looking at his data was a typical Gaussian distribution of observations having a larger than ideal variance."

That is a self contradiction. A Gaussian distribution, by definition,cannot have the over 160 large variances from expected results I have found. Gaussian distribution is a normal bell shaped curve. Mine is anything but that. The data have variances which are almost 5 times what is expected, on average. Such a large standard deviation represents a one in 1.6 million probability. 42% of the variances are 3 standard deviations or greater. That is 140 times the expected number of 3 standard deviations.It is simply incorrect for you to call this a Gaussian distribution. A Gaussian curve would have had 1 SD of 3 or more, just like the control data has.

You may not like the way I did the experiment, but that does not change the data results I have found. The control data was generated in exactly the same way
as was the Peshitta data, and the control data is Gaussian in nature. You seem to think that abnormal Peshitta results proves that I analyzed the text "improperly". Who sets the standard and parameters by which one should search for coded information? Otto?

We've been throgh this before , Otto, and I know where you're going with this. Even if you sum up the numbers for each search word, you still get highly abnormal results overall. The results would still not be Gaussian. And you can't change the results by not liking them. They are what they are and will remain what they are. If you want to discredit them, repeat the experiment on another non Bible text of similar size with approx. the same number of data and show the same abnormal non Gaussian results. Get your feet wet and do the hard work, then perhaps you will appreciate what I have done.

I also did a more exhaustive text using Randy Ingermanson's (PHD in Physics) Codecracker software for the Peshitta. It tests for Hebrew or Greek language patterns in a series of skip texts. Randy claims in his book Who Wrote The Bible Code? that the software shows that there is probably no Bible Code in the Hebrew Bible or in The Greek NT. The problem with his experiment was that he tested less than 1% of the possible skip texts (skipping 1-150 letters for each search). I have tested the Hebrew and Aramaic Testaments with his software, at skips 1-5000. The results are practically identical to my Codefinder experiment. Codecracker also analyses the data statistically, and about 42% of the Z scores are greater than 3.0 for 3 Western versions of The Peshitta. This validates and confirms the first results. I further did a test on 10 individual NT Peshitta books in Codecracker. Those results also agree with the other two experiments and yield equivalent Z Score results.

All of the above led me to believe in 2003 that The Peshitta is the original inspired NT text and that the Greek is a translation of it. This I verified by several more exhaustive Aramaic-Greek word comparisons throughout the respective Peshitta-Greek Testaments, to see which was truly the translation, by using the Hebrew Bible and LXX as a model by which to compare. The results are also in my book,
Quote:Divine Contact
. There is also an analysis of conjunctions & personal pronouns in the Greek & Aramaic, compared to the LXX-Hebrew model.

All ten analyses essentially say the same thing, but I would not have gotten to step 10 without the codes experiment in step 1. Step 1 strongly suggested The Peshitta was written by God. Step 2 confirmed it. Step 3 also confirmed it. Steps 4 (Historical evidence, Internal Greek & Aramaic, Linguistics,several Primacy tests) thru 10 confirmed the secondary premise that the Greek was translated from The Peshitta.
All this is in my book.
Thank you Otto, for your rigorous skepticism. It is understandable and healthy, in the face of claims such as I have made for codes in The Peshitta, and I welcome it. It can only strengthen the pro arguments if the phenomenon is real. If it is not real, then the skeptics will find that out, and will have done us all a service.
It is interesting, is it not, that Ingermanson's skepticism and software which he claims refuted the codes, has actually verified them, when used to more comprehensively search for ELS's?

Sherman's statistics have all been double checked with a PHD statistician professor in Southern Oregon State University. The stat formulas have been determined to be correctly applied to the ELS searches. Sherman used the same methods to analyse my results as he did his own and others in the Hebrew Bible.

Have You have read Sherman's book or Satinover's book Otto?

I think it behooves you to read them before making up your mind in general, to the effect that codes do not exist in The Bible.


All my experimental results are available to everyone for viewing and download at my web site: aramaicnt.com

The exact Peshitta module I used in Codefinder is also available at my web site in a zip file, along with 2 other Peshitta versions, including the Khabouris ms.
The modules have all spaces removed from between words, and are only useful with Codefinder software. Just look for "Peshitta Research" on the home page and follow the links.

Many blessings,



Dave
