John,
Actually, I do have that sort of scrutiny applied to me considerably, not just here, but in life. I think it all relegates back to satan and I personally hating each other. But yea, I tend to apply that back at folks at times.
Dave is a great teacher of Hebrew, he has a nack for explaining it very well to the laymen and inviting the interest during the explanation, but it is overshadowed by this code theory thing and his personal peshitta-onlyism beliefs. With that in mind, I've seen some outlandish claims and excuses applied by many here when the text would be questioned against the greek. Basically, it looked and felt more like a prejudice directed squarely against the greek from a culturistic standpoint. This is still apparent in a majority of the messianic communities as you breeze through what they uphold.
Other than that, I do still feel that the syriac text is very good for manuscript comparisons with the greek, but I don't pit it against the greek and it's mound of manuscript and historical evidence, especially against The Lord and His desire to use greek down through the ages. There are certain things one must pick up on to see the hand of GOD in, and that is one of them. But enough on that for now.
Thanks for making me more aware of some of the Kabbalah aspects and those things you are working with!
