Dear drmlanc & Dave,
It is better for you guys to settle this privately as I am afraid that Paul Younan might delete this thread if you guys continue with your arguments that is not related to the title of this thread.
To gain respect from the Christian world out there, this forum needs to be known for scholarly discussion of the Aramaic New Testament instead of being contentious in nature.
Please refrain from calling "trinity" pagan, Hebrew Tanakh not the original, ridiculing Greek NT, etc as you guys are only giving free ammunitions for the muslims to attack Christians and also turning the Christians out there away from embracing the Peshitta NT.
Truth needs to be told wisely.
Unnecessary attacks on the Bible or doctrines will only give you a backlash from others and this is not good as it might sabotage the works of Paul Younan. Rejectors of Aramaic Gospels might cite examples of your hostility towards certain doctrines as a reason why they should reject the works of Paul Younan as they might mistaken you or others in this forum as one of the contributors to this great work.
If the majority of the contributors of this forum continue with unnecessarily hostililty towards the Greek NT or Massoretic Tanakh, then I am afraid that it will only create a backlash. Soon, there will be a site dedicated to refute this site and it will turn a lot of people away from Peshitta.
When you translate the Scriptures, you ought not to let doctrinal bias influence your translation. Be true to the grammar, syntax and the idiom of the passage and you will be fine.
Thanks.
