Quote:As far as a translation, are you saying it has to be a NT translation ?
Well,....yes Dave!
I assume that you do wish to know if a translation does contain or create a code structure?! Scholars for centuries have said that this is a translation from the greek, similar to what Taitan may have done, on down to Thomas of Harkel. There has always been translations from the greek into syriac/aramaic.
Don't you want to test this to find out if the scholars are wrong? What good is a test on something that is not of the same text?
Quote:Why does the Greek text not have codes, while The Peshitta does ?
Well shoot Dave,...I don't know?!
Not trying to be aggressive about it with you, I just don't know. But then again, should I be worried about it? I'm not a naysayer over the work you do, I think it is interesting, but is this going to change the documented history of the 1st and 2nd centuries??
And yes, I look forward to dwelving into learning this language!!!!!
