I am strictly KJV but I was wondering your views on the Aramaic translation of the Bible?
Thanks!

Are you speaking of the original Koine Greek of the Bible being translated into Aramaic or Aramaic being translated into a so-called Bible? I think the use of "so-called" ought give you my answer.
In Christ, George

The Aramaic is also called the Peshitta or Peshitto which is an ancient Syriac translation. It was produced around 150 A.D. Aramaic developed by the inhabitants of the ancient land of Aram, it was the trade language of a particular region at the time of Jesus Christ. Aramaic was the language spoken by the Jews when they were taken into Babylonian captivity. Though the Peshitto is viewed as "one" of the texts included in Erasmus' Majority Text from which we get our Textus Receptus, it in and of itself would have some discrepancies. Here is an example of a part of the Gospel of John in Aramaic

I remember listening to a debate about this a few years back. I don't remember much, but apparently, an out-right heretic named 'George Lamsa' translated the Peshitta into English.
Why do I call him an 'out-right heretic'? Because he believed large sections of the gospel text to be corrupt, and thus; he changed it.

Thank you all for the info and replies! I appreciate it! I've read some Christians have been following the Aramaic translation instead of KJV and it just had me wondering about it. I was reading that Lamsa guy's translation about headcoverings and it was rather odd. Thanks again! Katrina

I have a copy of the Peshitta or Peshitto. The Aramaic Bible Translation. About 15 years ago someone gave me a copy. Suprisingly it was printed by the Southern Baptist Publishing company. Of course the Southern Baptists are really getting bad. They will have to pay for their sins that is for sure.
