Hi David:
One question concerning your 2 part statement.
This experiment shows
1.very powerful statistical evidence that The Peshitto text (27 book canon) is inspired ;
2. That it is not a translation, but the original text behind the Greek NT.
I have links here for exhaustive word comparisons in the Greek and Peshitto texts which verify these results, involving a total of over 10,000 words in Aramaic and Greek combined.
Could you please clarify your statement, in light of the established fact that the Western Five, namely, II Peter, II and III John, Jude and Revelation do not have a known extant Aramaic manuscript.
How can you prove divine authorship from the Aramaic as opposed to the Greek of these five books, without an original Aramaic "autograph"?
Kind Regards,
Stephen Silver
