Ok...this has got me wondering a few things.
Paul,
How many Manuscripts exist of the Eastern Peshitta that have come down to today?
And are you saying that these are all copies, that are identical with the original Aramaic New Testament, that has come down to the Modern Printed Eastern Peshitta text, with no REAL variants in any of them?
That this means that the very same text is that given by the Apostles in the 1st century about 78 A.D.?
Also, which copy is the oldest that has survived? How old is the Khabouris Manuscript really?
Does there exist an Eastern Only Peshitta translation in English? Or do all those that are in print today, have Peshitto readings in them? Are each of these translations using Peshitto (Western) readings mixed with Peshitta (Eastern) readings? Lamsa, Murdoch, Etherige, Norton, Migeria, Bauscher, Roth and who ever else has produced one to date???
Thanks,
Chuck
