They don't mean what they say in the Greek NT.

Forget the Greek NT then. Let's focus on the Pe****ta, where we find that the word translated as "become" by Lamsa (that's this guy-

if you recall)
and translated as "become" by other so-called "native Aramaic speakers" who believe that the Pe****ta isn't a translation. Why do even guys like Lamsa agree with me about the meaning of the Syriac word here?

Just trying to help.

I can't understand for the life of me why you are convinced by someone who is clearly lying to you, and even defending it when its clearly wrong.

The thing is, this isn't a very difficult thing to disprove. It doesn't take academic rigor to read a few wiki articles or maybe a book in Google Books to at least find the basic definitions of the words that you are using.

Just the fundamental, basic definitions would be a great place to start.

Did Lamsa translate from what you are calling the Syriac Pe****ta?

When you refer to the Pe****ta, do you mean what is known as 'Old Syriac'?

It just occurred to me that Pe****ta sounds like it would be great in a sandwich. Maybe that's why it's so attractive to those who think that it's older than the NT. Sandwiches are good, Pe****ta sounds delicious, so the NT must not be as old as scholars think that it is.

Epiphany!

Not as great as The Pe****ta Grande. Aramaic that melts in your mouth but twice the prosciutto as is in a regular Pe****ta.

The Grande sounds like an explosion later.

I was thinking that if the source's website was just loaded with porn or Willie Nelson videos (NOT both), it would be much improved. It's got to enrich the body or the mind, at least.

No kidding. Why have I never thought of searching youtube in German or French before? :facepalm:

Try this, then -- if you get a proxy service like NetShade, you can fool the computer into thinking that you're actually in Germany, so Google and everything else will default in German, weeding out all the crappy English stuff.

It's pretty cool - I use it when researching in German -- so German books and articles are the default in searches. Handy.

Interesting. I'll have to try that. It sounds easier and more complete than customizing the search language on google.

Yeah, I think that just switching the language doesn't change whatever location crap Google has. Plus, you can always switch back to English in Google language settings while it thinks you're in Germany. :D

Ah, someday all of this will be over. haha

Well, we simply can't have Legion working, so I'll take a hack, even though I admit my Greek is at about kindergarten level:

Which proves the Pe****ta was not written by the original Jewish Christians. They would never eat Prosciutto. The original would have had Pastrami!!

Oh, Pastrami....
