Quote:Akhi, I'd like your opinion on something.
Would you agree that all translators make mistakes and that all translations have some mistakes in them?
If so, and if you believe the Aramaic NT to be a translation of the Greek NT, then you therefore must be able to demonstrate an error, any error, in translation from Greek to Aramaic.
Can you point me to one instance, just one, where the Peshitta contains any error which you can convincingly demonstrate came from a translators' misreading of a Greek word, a misspelling of a Greek word, etc?
Is the Peshitta the only translation around which is 100% correct and does not contain one single solitary error which can be attributed to the translation of it from Greek?
Can you find a Greek equivalent of Acts 2:24? Please point me to it.
Man, I felt the shiver go up my spine there hehe. Paul is back in action and laid the gauntlet down!
Ok, how about this, if the peshitta is the text that is 100% correct, and has no translational errors, then why isn't GOD using it in HIS churches?
This is 100% correct right? Why wouldn't GOD use this instead of dealing with the greek and it's problems, if it was 100% correct?
What was GOD doing with all this? I mean, there has been at least 3 versions brought out into english from the peshitta that I know of, and all 3 of them have failed. None are utilized in the Spirit-filled churches here in the states. In fact, the "standard" that is looked up to in all this within HIS churches is the King James version. The version that people love to hate here, has the pre-eminence over all other versions within HIS church!!!
Now,.......if this peshitta is the original,.....and it is 100% correct,.......and is better than the greek,........and it is the original that the greek was copied from,........then why won't GOD promote it and use it to save souls!!!!
Now, let's not try and dispose of this by saying that these are "faith" based questions, that's a cop out from anyone here. This is the current status of affairs within GOD's churches as anyone can deduct. Is GOD mocking the aramaic by sticking to the greek?
