The "O" argument

[Dawid]

Shlama lokhun,

While things like this sound interesting to outsiders, this is not a good argument/explanation. We need to remember that the original/official Peshitta does not include Revelations. It is only 22 books (not 27), so this proves nothing. That is why you don't hear people from the Church of the East making these types of statements. I am not trying to disrespect others, but for me trying to "decode" Revelations for the sake of proving either Greek or Aramaic Primacy is a mute point.

Push b'shayna,

I'm just throwing this out there as one part of a lot of issues I've been finding lately. As much as Greek primacy is very unsatisfactory, I'm finding Peshitta primacy certainly has its own issues. Neither of them is fully satisfactory to me. Things like this, and other moments of just plain bad scholarship in the Peshitta primacy movement are very disconcerting to me. I guess I'm coming down to more of an argument for traditionalism. I think my inclination would be to accept the COE tradition because it is a tradition, because the proofs don't fully add up on either side.
