Dave,
I take no offense from your words there...and it's not just what you said in your intro to your interlinear renderings of the Aramaic Torah, which shows what you believe about the Eastern Peshitta text...that in your mind it's not the Original Aramaic NT, but an altered/corrupted one, while the Western Peshitto version, which you use, is what you believe to be the inspired and un-altered/corrupted Aramaic NT.
Yes, It is, for the most part, the same as the Eastern Peshitta as to its textual content, but... IT IS (the Peshitto) the altered/corrupted version, no doubt about it. No matter what those flawed imaginary "codes" and wrong doctrinal biases might have caused you to believe.
In our conversations in the past, you have said that you believe that the Eastern Peshitta has been altered through doctrinal bias of those of The Church of the East...and not the Western Peshitto by it's editors. Do you now deny this?
I haven't read through your renderings of the Torah yet, Dave, but you seem to be more careful in your interlinear work, so it might be rather good. Looking forward to going through it.
And this is what I actually said, Dave.
But you said:
But, as you can see, I didn't say that you said the Eastern Peshitta is a corruption in your Peshitta Torah intro, but that you "can see" your belief that it is so, by your statements there. Never said you said it outright, which would indeed be a lie....I know you are careful not to show your hand in this regard, but I have seen what you are holding, because you showed it to me before.
There are a few very important changes made in the Western Peshitto version, which does alter doctrine...
Shlama,
Chuck

Quote:I read the intro to it though, and you can see right there his belief that the Eastern Peshitta NT is a corruption
But you said:
Quote:Chuck claims that I say in the introduction that the Eastern text is corrupted. That is simply a lie. I have never said or written any such thing, nor would I.
