	Aramaic primacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aramaic primacy is the view that the Christian New Testament and/or its sources were originally written in the Aramaic language, not Koine Greek as is generally claimed.
		Aramaic Primacists are divided into several distinct camps in terms of their methods of researching and reconstructing the Aramaic layer of the New Testament.
		Aramaic Primacists generally respond that these sources are late compared to the account in Q, as the Mishnah, the base document of the Babylonian Talmud was compiled in 200, where the Acts of Peter and Andrew is a 3rd century work.

		Aramaic is an ancient Semitic language (very similar to Hebrew) that according to the Encyclopedia Britannica became the dominant language of the Middle East, around 500-600 years before the birth of the Messiah.
		Aramaic was so firmly established as the lingua franca that no government could dispense with its use as a vehicle of expression in a far-flung empire, especially in the western provinces.
		Aramaic, as we know from history and the Bible (parts of Ezra, Jeremiah and Daniel were written in Aramaic, albeit with the Hebrew script), became the dominant language even among the Israelis.

		Aramaic Primacists believe that the Christian New Testament and/or its sources were originally written in the Aramaic language, not Koine Greek as is generally claimed.
		Perhaps the most well known is the translation from Greek: "camel through the eye of a needle." In Aramaic, the word used for "camel" would be extremely similar to that for a certain type of "rope", suggesting that the correct phrase was "rope through the eye of a needle." making the hyperbole more symmetrical.
		Aramaic is a Semitic language, a family of languages where all words come from three-letter roots.

	Aramaic Peshitta Primacy's Guestbook
		Chris goes by Aramaic scripture to continue the challenge of presumptions made of this day's status quo in a similar way to what Martin Luther had began in the 1500's (by challenging the authenticity and accuracy of the Latin Vulgate).
		Chris' book compiles arguments for Peshitta primacy, sending them out one by one as solitary scouts until, by the closing chapters, the reader is quickly aware that these small scouts have come together into battalions, marching against the entrenched walls of traditional assumption.
		One important contextual point in support of Aramaic primacy, not mentioned anywhere in your book, is the fact that under Alexander the Great, the Greeks attempted or even succeeded in placing a statue of their Greek god, Zeus in the temple at Jerusalem.

		Aramaic Primacy means that the New Testament was written not in Greek, but in Aramaic, and that the Peshitta is the closest Bible we have to the original.
		Hebrew and Aramaic may be sacred to the Jews, but God authored all languages and He made sure all the known world at that time spoke Greek.
		It seems to me that this is an indication of Aramaic primacy because there’s a translation that is implied, while in Aramaic it is the same word twice in a row distinguised by a suffix.

		Aramaic was the common language used by all those empires up till Alexander conquered the area in around 330 BC, imposing Greek on the area.
		Aramaic Primacy advocates claim they continue to use the same one that was already in use and was taken up by the early church, never using the Septuagint (LXX).
		When the Aramaic Christians got ready to put the growing collection of writings into their own language, they had the advantage of the oral traditions, by which they could determine the likey original words in the teachings of Jesus, as relayed to us by Paul or the Gospel writers.

		The common language spoken in the time of Jesus was Aramaic.
		However, the original text of the New Testament was most likely written in Koine Greek, the vernacular dialect in first-century Roman provinces, and has since been widely translated into other languages, most notably Latin, Syriac, and Coptic.
		A minority of scholars consider the Aramaic version of the New Testament to be the original and believe the Greek is a translation.

		The original texts of the Tanakh were in Hebrew, with some portions (notably in Daniel and Ezra) in Aramaic.
		From the 800s to the 1400s, rabbinic Jewish scholars known as the Masoretes compared the text of all known Biblical manuscripts in an effort to create a unified standardized text; a series of highly similar texts eventually emerged, and any of these texts are known as Masoretic Texts (MT).
		While there are no complete surviving manuscripts of the Hebrew texts on which the Septuagint was based, many scholars believe that they represent a different textual tradition from the one that eventually became the basis for the Masoretic texts.

		We consider the Aramaic Peshitta, the Aramaic version of the Bible, often called the Syriac, to be a valuable supplementary tool like the Greek Septuagint, Latin Vulgate, or Aramaic Targums (paraphrases of the Tanach Scriptures widely used in the First and Second Centuries).
		The Aramaic Peshitta was one of the earliest translations of the Apostolic Scriptures that was made.

	Aramaic Peshitta Primacy Proof
		My free book will explain to you why Greek primacy (the belief in the originality of the Greek New Testament) is illogical, and why Old Syriac primacy is a farce, by looking at the historical evidence, and more importantly, the linguistic evidence.
		This website also has many other Peshitta-related goodies and Bible research tools (for Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek and English versions), which can be found by clicking on the buttons to the left.
		With all humility, I believe this book is the biggest and best single source for Aramaic Peshitta primacy proofs - and best of all, it is free (unlike the books by Dr. George Lamsa, translator of the Peshitta and creator of the "Lamsa Bible").

		In summary, The Way's Aramaic publications are hindered by the team's desire to maintain some of its founder's errors.

	Michael Rood & James Trimm & The WAY Print Version
		Regarding Aramaic, from the Peshitta.org, we read of interaction with Paul Younan, who was raised in the Assyrian culture and is fluent in Aramaic.
		Their basis is the forthright assertion that the Testament was written originally in Aramaic, not Greek.47 They refer extensively to the Estrangelo Aramaic, or Syriac versions and to the Peshitta version as translated by Dr. George M. Lamsa.
		The forms of Aramaic he is acquainted with are quite removed from that of Jesus' time." Unfortunately, The Way spends an enormous amount of energy and places a great deal of weight on the unfounded theory of Aramaic originals, ne un supportability of this theory results in the collapse of many of Wierwille's interpretations.

	Melkite Greek Catholic Church Information Center Pope, Primacy of the Holy See of Rome
		The Aramaic word spoken by Holy God the Son within the Holy Trinity / Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ would be "kephas", as is recorded in various places of the New Testament.
		Ecclesiastical Communion means that Melkites recognize the Holy See of Rome and that direct successor (the Patriarch of the West) of The Holy, Glorious and Illustrious Prince of the Apostles Peter "in the primacy".
		The reason is that the Pope is the direct, "in the primacy" successor of Holy, Glorious and Illustrious Prince of the Apostles Peter.

	Scripture Catholic - The Church
		Catholics agree that God is the rock of the Church, but this does not mean He cannot confer this distinction upon Peter as well, to facilitate the unity He desires for the Church.
		Not only is this nonsensical in the context of Jesus' blessing of Peter, Jesus was speaking Aramaic and used "Kepha," not "evna." Using Petros to translate Kepha was done simply to reflect the masculine noun of Peter.
		In Aramaic, "Bar" means son, and "Jonah" means John or dove (Holy Spirit).

	Petrine Primacy
		The weakness of "the Petros/petra distinction argument" is that in Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus, the same word, kepha, would be used in both places.
		The language of Peter's primacy, in Scripture, is no mere "primacy of honor." Peter is given crucial duties and responsibilities and authorized to carry them out.[15] Jesus clearly makes Peter a servant, leader, and unifier to all His Apostles and disciples.
		Petrine primacy is not an invention of the 9th century, or the 11th, or the 19th.
