I'm not a respector of persons.
wasn't that one the meanings of Hypocrite?
Don't get me wrong, I like who Paul is, I think he does a major service to showing the corrections that are prevalent in the Peshitta, and so do you, But I won't side with him or you or anyone else when that person is wrong about something. I will follow the Spirit of Truth. I appreciate my blood bought salvation first and the indwelling Spirits leading.
In fact, let me do another approach here. Since Greek is a translation of a semetic language, then these truths should somewhere come down to those translations also, or at least be in a footnote.
Let's see what we find:
AV: the husband of Mary
NKJV: the husband of Mary
Rotherham: the husband of Mary
RWebster: the husband of Mary
YLT: the husband of Mary
ASV: the husband of Mary
Douay: the husband of Mary
no footnotes on any of them.
What about the Angel talking to Joseph:
AV: thou shalt call his name
NKJV: thou shall call His name
Rotherham thou shalt call his name
RWebster: thou shalt call his name
YLT: thou shalt call his name
ASV: thou shalt call his name
Douay: thou shalt call his name
again, no footnotes
what about a really new translation:
ESV: the husband of Mary,... you shall call his name
again no footnotes
Let's take it even farther, Old Syriac:
Jan Wilsons translation: S, C you shall call his name
and the kicker, drumroll please,....
Jan Wilsons :
S Jacob begat Joseph, the Joseph to whom was betrothed Mary the Virgin
C Jacob begat Joseph, he to whom was betrothed Mary the Virgin
Now that is amazing. The Old Syriac spelled it out completely. Much farther than any translation has. It leaves nothing to dought within it, over this. Simply amazing.
Now I couldn't find it anywhere so far. So, it's still ok to go with the theory?
You guys figure it out. I think it's very clear here what I've shown. Now harp on me for not knowing aramaic, crack on me, blah blah blah, like a kid,..so what. I don't need to learn it to know any better. I'm quite resourcefull as it is, and I'm definetely not beyond searching to find the truth.
If Paul would have been right, I would have backed him 110%, same way with you, and I would have the truths and the resources to back up what I say in standing beside you, but not in this case, I won't be at agreement with something that is wrong.
