The Aramaic Bible Web Log is a forum for discussing the origins of the Bible and the value of translating the Scriptures from the Ancient Aramaic Texts of the Ancient Church of the East directly into English. I believe that the Ancient Aramaic language is the true scribal language of Scriptures. My translations are posted at http://www.v-a.com/bible/. If you send me appropriate questions or comments, I will post them on this Web Log and attempt to answer or respond to them as best as I can. I will only post what I consider proper. I will not include e-mail addresses, but only your name as you wish it to appear on this blog. To send me an e-mail you may use the FORM MAIL at the bottom of this blog.
| Perhaps Cardinal Ratzinger was elected Pope so he could continue the work of reconciliation that Pope John Paul II started. God did not grant the first Polish Pope enough years to accomplish the task, but in the personage of his secretary His purposes may be served. Pope John Paul II came out of war-torn Poland; Cardinal Ratzinger came out of Hitler's youth camps. Pope John Paul II dealt with the reconciliation of Eastern Europeans with the rest of the world; the Cardinal from Germany will have to deal with the reconciliation of Western Europeans with the rest of the world. Europe has been gravitating toward white supremacy; Cardinal Ratzinger, who chose the name of Pope Benedict, will be reconciling the old thinking with the emergence of the Third World from totalitarian rule, who now demand equal rights. As Pope Benedict XVI, he will follow Pope John Paul II's course of reconciliation for another decade, and the world may be a better place for all that. |
Although Christianity is under attack in the world, we need to stay objective in discussing the origins of the Scriptures. The Internet provides an opportunity for free discussions. Thank you for participating and expressing your opinions, as I have.
