Ooze,
We know the aramaic does correct many areas within the greek text. The only problem I'm seeing with the peshitta at the moment is the doctrinal issues it presents. Does it agree with mainstream Christianity and teaches correct doctrine or does it confuse and divide the church? As I see it, it has certain areas in the NT that agree with the "Jesus is GOD" heretics. This will show itself to me a major problem as this text is promoted over the greek.
The greek followers have always had problems deciding which texts to group together. Standardized text or what? None of the scholars can decide. Most likely GOD gets a big laugh out of them since they don't ask HIM they just vote on everything instead. pitiful.
The greek followers should be looking more into the western text since the greek witnesses to it way more than the peshitta ever will. This was the text that ruled the 1st couple centuries, that can be readily identified as being the oldest family of texts. The Old Syriac was generally agreed upon that it came from the greek anyways, as does the Harklean versions. They should be looking at those also since they have a greek background. Crawford manuscript? Most likely a greek background. The hebrew matthew that mister Trimm loves so much? Most likely a greek background, similar to the one that the Middle Dutch Leige manuscript followed.
Ect, Ect.
I don't think they really want to pay attention to things. They feel they have it all figured out in their standardized versions.
