distazo,

you keep studying textural criticism and you will come to see that the Western PeshittO is nothing more than a corrupted copy of the eastern PeshittA to conform it to the Greek text. The Western PeshittO is known to be a late text, while the Eastern PeshittA is shown to be the text that the Greek translated from. And yes the Greek text are even more corrupted as they never seemed content to stop adding and subtracting from/to them. Now I am not against the Western 5 Books and wish an ancient text of them would come forth, but as for the other 22 Books the Eastern PeshittA is the only one that we have that has been unchanging to the whims of man, so ergo I - with or with out you my Brother. With or without!
I will preach Eastern PeshittA RULES <!-- s:onfire: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/onfire.gif" alt=":onfire:" title="On Fire" /><!-- s:onfire: --> !!!
And my prayer is that others that seek will find what they are looking for, awmane.

So, I encourage you to not only read the Scriptures but to continue studying textural issues. And what ever you decide on is fine with me so long as it is not to try and make me eat Greek/PeshittO. <!-- s:crazy: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/crazy.gif" alt=":crazy:" title="Crazy" /><!-- s:crazy: -->

As for causing confusion if people would stop claiming to be translating from the Eastern PeshittA when they are not, and just be honest and say that they are translating the Western PeshittO, being they seem to like it so much, it would help as this kind of honesty is the only way to stop the circus act. Talk about adding confusion to the newbies. But if one claims to be translating from the Eastern PeshittA and does what they say - this too will not cause confusion to newbies either. It is when people try to be deceptive and claim one thing and do another that causes the confusion to the Aramaic cause. So if you catch me presenting Western PeshittO renditions while claiming to be putting fourth the Eastern PeshittA call me on it.

Anyway sitting on the fence is fine but do not call East West and West East, as there are two sides to the Aramaic fence. Be honest and teach that there is a difference even though you are not totally clear as to what those differences are. This will help cut down on confusing newbies.

Oh and while we are on the subject of being totally honest about things - you do know that there is no Santy Claus - right? Just checking.
