Hi Guys few questions
#1
I sent an email to Paul but he hasn't gotten back to me, probably very busy.

I am Assyrian and am a part of the St's Peter and Pauls parish in Sydney.

Please note that I also affirm Peshitta Aramaic Primacy, as this only makes sense in light of the fact that Jesus and his Apostles spoke Aramaic.

1. I have been reading through some Apologetic books regarding the variants found in the Greek manuscripts, although at first glance they seem quite large, after applying the microscope you see that most (90%) of these variations are simple spelling errors and other simple grammatical issues that do not alter any theological meaning. This is true with the other 10% of the variations, although much more than mere spelling and grammatical issue, the variants do not alter any major theological doctrine that is considered Orthodoxy. (I got this info from Bruce Metzger who claims that the NT in Greek is 99% pure). What do you think of this?

2. Do you agree with textual critics like Bart Ehram who believe that the Greek manuscripts were intentionally corrupted to suit their theological presuppositions and that most of what Jesus says in the Greek NT are interpolations?

3. Shouldn't we be doing more to actually defend the Bible in general and it's message rather than only defending the Peshitta? I know our version is much more well preserved than the Greek NT, but regardless the NT is the NT and is utilised to transform lost souls and lead them to Christ.

4. In saying all this, i really want to purchase my own Peshitta in English, which do you recommend as being the best one?


Your in Christ
Alan
