Dear byrnesey,
So sorry that I didn't response to your PMs earlier. I haven't find the time to read what you posted at your new web site. Whatever you do to promote Peshitta I hope your approach is not to offense others that are not in agreement with you regarding doctrines (e.g. attack on Roman Catholic church, Trinity, etc.) so that they will not become defensive and set up web sites to refute you.
Regarding our collaboration, I would love to collaborate with you or anyone out there. The only problem I have is time. So many things to do, so little time. In promoting Aramaic Gospels, I prefer non confrontational approach. So, there is no need for us to disparage or ridicule the Greek New Testament, Masoretic text of Tanakh, KJV, or Catholic church as though that our knowledge of Aramaic today is better than those early disciples who lived nearer to the time of the Apostles. Furthermore they had done their best to translate the Gospels the best they could. We should not accuse them of fraud if there are mistakes. This is what I meant when I told you that if we ever collaborate, I hope you don't mind that I edit your works before I posted it to my server.
If we present our facts to support Peshitta without ridiculing other translations or churches, I am sure others will be more open to our findings instead of becoming defensive and find ways to criticize us.
I am glad that you are back. I have nothing to do with Paul finding out who you are. Probably he has access to your PM or found out from your IP address. I don't know. That shows that your zeal for Peshitta is genuine and does not depend on others like Paul Younan. Anyway, it is not really hard to guess who you are judging by your posts.
So welcome back! There is no need for you to speak in third person anymore when recommending your website. <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: --> <!-- s:bigups: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bigups.gif" alt=":bigups:" title="Big Ups" /><!-- s:bigups: -->
