"The gall of these people "

Yeah the anger of these people amazes me too...

So do you have quotes from the Church etc that the Peshitta is the original? Just the stuff I'm looking for for the historical compendium. Do you have quotes for each book (22/27) of its Aramaic primacy?

Akhi, this was not an issue before. Nobody talked about what language the books were originally written in because they did not even know that centuries later, people would be claiming that a foreign language was it.

This is the universal tradition among all the churches in Asia all the way to India, and Japan before Tamerlane wiped out 99.999999% of the church.

This is why all the churches, bar none, venerate the Peshitta and no other version (not just the Church of the East, but the Maronites, Jacobites, Chaldeans, Indians, etc.)

No other version is allowed in their worship and their liturgical readings. That all these churches hate each other from 431 AD also says alot, because they all use the same version. It must have been well established centuries before these splits for all sides to unanimously adopt them as their official version......otherwise, why would they adopt the version of their hated enemies?

When I talk of the "history" behind the primacy of the Peshitta, I am not referring to words but to the actions of these particular communities.

As the old saying goes....actions speak a lot louder than words....
