It was answered, in due course, in its proper thread.
Nah, nothing there about who was the first to speak of the Peshitta, to use its text, etc.

I've learned to not trust anything you post.

Re: The chain of transmission of the curation of the PeshittA

There is a chain of transmission of the curation of the PeshittA: the patriachs of the Assyrian Church of the East (ACoE). From peshitta.org : Same question as before, unanswered. So the chain of transmission of the ACoE curated the Aramaic PeshittA and vouches for its authenticity. To prove me wro...

Re: The Aramaic has substantial differences to the canonical Greek Matthew

:thumbdown: ok Can you pull together any ones you feel are theologically relevant and let's examine them to see if any are "critical". Maybe you can, but I looked for them. Not interested. I remember you said the Pericope Adultera was a “trifle”. I tend to believing every verse is important.

Re: Coloring the Truth: Sinaiticus

Have you seen the parchment? Did the guy in the original video see the parchment? No, what we got in the video was some guy taking pictures of pictures---and then DIGITALLY CHANGING THEIR COLORS right on camera, purportedly to show us it was all fake. Come on. You seem to be mixing up 1) my referen...

Re: The Aramaic has substantial differences to the canonical Greek Matthew

Jerome's statement does show that there was some sort of Hebrew Matthew in existence. However, if you include his full material you find out that it had substantial differences than the canonical Greek Matthew. A critically important element that is deliberately omitted. Steven, that's an outright ...

Re: The chain of transmission of the curation of the PeshittA

So the chain of transmission of the ACoE curated the Aramaic PeshittA and vouches for its authenticity. To prove me wrong, the onus is on you to provide evidence to the contrary. Your logic is very flawed. Which one was the first one that clearly cites the Peshitta? Which is the first one that vouc...

Re: Coloring the Truth: Sinaiticus

The best way to make something look old is for it to be made out of stuff which actually is old. With Sinaiticus there was very little effort involved. The parchment is largely like new and thr ink is often super-ink. More effort was put into keeping the two distinct sections widely separated and u...

Re: Coloring the Truth: Sinaiticus

You never quote me. I challenge you to find a false statement, uncorrected, from me anywhere. Without one, you are simply lying again. (Any time I say something factually wrong, I am very happy to have it corrected, on any topic.) We know you are arrogant and simply make up quotes, like "terrib...

Re: Coloring the Truth: Sinaiticus

We went over their description of the standards and also lots of page-by-page details (e.g. the numbers assigned) in our discussions. I will charitably just call you ignorant and worthless in conversation, like when you repeated your fabrication of "terrible yellow" as if it was a quote. W...

Standford Rives on the Hebrew Matthew and Calvin-Servetus

I think we can finally answer that question. Stanford Rives reconstructed the Original Gospel of Matthew and wrote a 3 volume work looking at all of the differences, including the middle-aged Hebrew ones. Quite a flawed methodology. Original Gospel of Matthew Vol. 1: The Variants from the Earliest ...
