The PeshittA has been curated and cared for by the Assyrian Church of
the East since the time of the apostles. But it is not clear if the
current church adopts the postion of Aramaic Primacy for the New Testament.
Here is a [url=http://www.peshitta.org/initial/peshitta.html]quote from a previous Patriarch [/url] from Paul Younan's website:
[quote]
the originality of the Peshitta text, as the Patriarch and Head of the Holy Apostolic and Catholic Church of the East, we wish to state, that the Church of the East received the scriptures from the hands of the blessed Apostles themselves in the Aramaic original, the language spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and that the Peshitta is the text of the Church of the East which has come down from the Biblical times without any change or revision." April 5, 1957

Yet here is a contrasting quote from Deacon Paul Younan on the defacto
[url=http://peshitta.org/for/showthread.php?tid=2104&pid=11387#pid11387] Church of the East position[/url]:
Most people in the ACoE (clergy and laymen) I've met and spoken to are
Aramaic primacists, but not all. Both Qashe I've served with at
St. John (Qasha Charles Klutz, and Qasha Antwan Latchin) are Aramaic
primacists. But they never mention these topics in their sermons,
other than an occasional "The Aramaic text says this" kind of statement.
I've found that it's usually the younger clergy here in the West,
particularly those who have studied in Western institutions like the
Vatican, who are Greek primacists.
There is no debate on this topic within the ACoE, simply because it's
not really something the Church places emphasis on. We as a body are
like any other branch of the Church - primarily interested in
preaching the Gospel of our Lord, ministering to the faithful and
sick, and feeding the poor. The Great Commission has nothing to do
with what language the scriptures were penned in, right? =)
Within the ACoE, especially since after the Patriarch Mar Eshai was
assassinated, there really has been no emphasis whatsoever on this
topic. Personally I have never heard anything from the pulpit, in a
sermon, epistle or any other communication about it.
[/quote]
This is anomalous to us, and we note that in 20 years of working on
the PeshittA on atour.com and peshitta.org, and elucidating the case
of PeshittA Primacy, no other *ACoE deacon, priest, or bishop ever
joined the work being done on the sites.
So we emailed 4 bishops of the ACoE across 3 continents asking them 4 questions:
[list=1]
[*] Does the *ACoE currently hold the position of the primacy of the PeshittA in Aramaic over the Greek Textus Receptus?
[*] Exactly what version does the *ACoE advise to your parishioners who want to read the New Testament in modern Syriac?
[*] Exactly what version does the *ACoE advise to your parishioners who want to read the New Testament in English?
We feel that there are currently two good translation efforts of the
PeshittA into English - https://www.peshitta.org (RIP) and the
https://theholyaramaicscriptures.com/
[*] Is the *ACoE actively supporting either of the current translation efforts that we feel are good?
[/list]
To date, none of the bishops or their secretaries have even replied.

The split of the Assyrian Church of the East (ACoE) with the Western
emperors and archbishops took place at the council of Ephesus in 431
A.D. so it is a [url=https://www.acoecalifornia.org/faq]Constantinian[/url] church
that is faithful to the decisions of the councils Nicaea (325 AD) and
Constantinople (381 AD). A Patriarch rules, that the clergy pledges
allegiance to (with perhaps one notable exception).
In 2003, a secret plan was put forward entitled [url=http://www.peshitta.org/pdf/g.pdf]Toward Full Communion[/url] by an ACoE bishop:
[quote]
As small number of priests and one bishop of the Assyrian Church of the East met occasionally in recent months to form a group (Group or G) in order to initiate canonical and moral reforms in the Assyrian Church of the East - the ultimate objective of which is to reestablish full-communion with the Catholic Church, within the context of ecclesiastical unity with the Chaldean Catholic Church.
[/quote]
The Chaldean Catholic Church is a competing church in the East, which
is in full communion with Rome, and uses a Greeked version of the
bible in Syriac that we refer to as the PeshittO. We presume PlanG was
financed by the Roman Catholic church.
We will skip over the details of [url=http://peshitta.org/for/showthread.php?tid=1346]PlanG[/url], and simply state the outcome:
Mar Bawai Soro, Bishop of the Western Diocese of California was [url=http://peshitta.org/for/showthread.php?tid=1346&pid=5822#pid5822]dismissed[/url], and Father Dimitry Grekoff and Father Birnie left. The church also [url=http://peshitta.org/for/showthread.php?tid=1346&pid=5825#pid5825]won a sizable civil lawsuit[/url] over the use of church funds. The dismissed Bishop became a bishop in the Chaldean church.
[url=http://peshitta.org/for/showthread.php?tid=1346&pid=8877#pid8877]Deacon Paul Younan wrote very clearly on the reasons for PlanG[/url]:
[quote]
Rome has a particularly urgent need to either wipe the ACoE off the
face of the earth, or to assimilate it within the greater "Catholic" sphere.
The reason is that the ACoE is the only major Apostolic body that has
traditionally been outside of the Roman/Byzantine ecclesiastical structure.
It is really the only Apostolic Church that grew outside of the Roman empire,
and this is a major thorn-in-the-side of their world view, which
labels other branches of Christendom as "off-shoots" that are in
rebellion against the "Throne of St. Peter."
In that world-view, the historical and continued existence of a group
like the ACoE is simply not tolerable. So as soon as Rome found out
that Tamerlane had not, in fact, wiped every last remnant out - they
sent the Portuguese first to India, and then the Jesuits to
Mesopotamia. There is a reason why the Chaldean and Malankara rites
are the oldest "Uniate" bodies within Catholicism.
They set their sights on the ACoE first. And they have not stopped
since then, and they will not stop trying to destroy this church. The
ACoE had better wake up and hear the calls of those of us who keep
warning them that Rome is not your friend.
[/quote]
In that context, when it became apparent that the
[url=http://peshitta.org]key website[/url] for the PeshittA had been
abandonned, we set out to contact Deacon Paul David Younan of Chicago,
IL. It shouldn't be that hard to do: he's an ordained deacon of an
established church; surely they have a way of contacting him. We know
his city, we think we know his church, and we know his diocese. There
is no coordinated list of parishes or clergy on the church's website,
so we ended up emailing, his church, his diocese, the Californian
dioscese, and calling and leaving voicemail at his church and his diocese.
We got only one reply, and they sent us his email address at
peshitta.org, which we knew was dead. When we pointed this out we got
a very unhelpful response: instead of providing the phone number of
his church (whose phone number is on Facebook) we got an ultimatum for
us to produce detailed information about our request or they would not
be able to help us.
Why would someone who answers the email for a diocese, be so
unhelpful? At this point we're inquiring if Paul's even alive!
The only reason we can think of is that the Church is obstructing any
support of the PeshittA, for which Paul Younan was well known.
In 10 years since the spin-off of http://peshitta.org from
http://www.atour.com/forums/peshitta, no other deacon, priest or
bishop AFAIK contributed any work to peshitta.org: 2,089 Members,
3,338 threads, 18,670 posts on the sacred scripture of the ACOE and
not one post from any ACoE clergy other than Paul. We find that bizarre.

We have watched the globalists use the Phanar to attack the Ukrainian
Orthodox Church (UOC), with the help of a globalizt president (and the help
of the Greek Orthodox Archbishop, and the Cypriot Orthodox Archbishop).
A strong, independent anti-woke national church in an overwhelmingly
Christian country, was not only attacked, but is being destroyed: it's
now being outlawed. The deconstruction of the Orthodox Church is vital
to the spread of the globalist woke ideology; although the *ACoE is
tiny, we expect it will be attacked too.

Paul Younan met with bishop Awa Royel about a plan to
[url=http://peshitta.org/for/showthread.php?tid=2829&pid=15919#pid15919]support the Peshitta translation[/url] when he was bishop in Chicago on 06-09-2012:
[quote]
I spent 2 hours with His Grace Mar Awa, along with two other bishops
(the newly ordained bishop for Chicago/Eastern US, His Grace Mar
Paulus, and also His Grace Mar Narsai of Tehran, Iran.) We spoke at
length about the project and the next steps. In the short term, we are
interviewing people with various abilities who would like to
participate in some capacity.
There will be three main teams: (a) the collators/proofreaders of the
primary Aramaic text, (b) the translators and (c) the English editors.
Longer term, after the teams are set, we will be producing an
English-only translation with study notes and CoE-specific patristics
for reference. We may include the Aramaic or an Interlinear as an
addendum or a different volume perhaps.
His Grace Mar Awa's goal is to provide the English reader with a study
bible akin to the Orthodox Study Bible, but of course drawn from the
Aramaic sources rather than the Greek.
While our initial goal is to translate the New Testament, we will in
the future also work on the Old Testament from the important Peshitta
translation.
We hope to use the existing interlinear on this site as a basis for
the ongoing work. That means there will likely be revisions and/or
corrections to this interlinear as they are discovered or suggested.
[/quote]
Yet as far as we know, nothing ever came of this meeting - no
resources, no involvment in the peshitta.org website, no work done.
So we ask ourselves: is there a new PlanG in play? The PeshittA would
be an impediment to the globalizts - they push the new Roman bible,
the NIV, which makes use of the Simonides a.k.a. Sinaiticus fraud, and
the erroneous Vaticanus. And imagine our shock when we recently crossed
the lintel of a Church of England, the defenders of the faith of KJVOnlyism,
and found all of the KJV bibles had been replaced by NIV frauds!
Since the meeting Paul attended, Mar Awa he has been elected Patriarch:
[url=https://hcef.org/790822441-iraq-mar-awa-royel-is-the-122nd-patriarch-of-the-assyrian-church-of-the-east/]
was elected on September 8th 2021[/url] by the Bishops of the Assyrian
Church of the East, who gathered on September 6th in the elective
Synod convened in Ankawa, a suburb of Erbil.
But then we saw this: quoting from an [url=https://hcef.org/790822441-iraq-mar-awa-royel-is-the-122nd-patriarch-of-the-assyrian-church-of-the-east/]ecumenical[/url] website:
[quote]
His ecumenical openness and direct involvement in fraternal relations
with the Catholic Church are well known, which he also took care of
his capacity as President of the Commission for inter-ecclesial
relations of the Assyrian Church of the East. Among his academic
contributions there is the work “Mysteries of the Kingdom: The
Sacraments of the Assirian Church of the East” (2011), a treatise on
the theology of the Assyrian Church of the East concerning the seven
sacraments, a text that is also relevant in view of the future,
possible developments of the theological dialogue in progress between
the Catholic Church and the Assyrian Church of the East.
[/quote]
In December, Patriarch Awa spoke of the possible reunification of Assyrians and Chaldeans within one Church of the East
http://www.aina.org/releases/20230228230910.htm
So we ask ourselves: is there a new PlanG in play? The PeshittA would
be an impediment to the globalizts - they push bibles which makes use
of the Simonides a.k.a. Sinaiticus fraud, and the erroneous Vaticanus.
The *ACoE have been the defenders of the PeshittA for all of Christendom
for almost 2000 years; will this come to an end with a submission of
it to Rome?

Mar Aprem,
Metropolitan for India, ACoE
Your Beatitude,
Let me preface my questions by clarifying I am addressing them to
"as an ordained archbishop in the Assyrian Church of the East",
but not as a spokesman for that Church. I accept that there is always
a range of views within a group of bishops, and as long as nothing said is
against their canon law, unless explicitly referred to as such, then
they are the opinion of a duely ordained bishop, which is all I ask.
Furthermore, the ACoE is already in schism with the AACoE, for possibly
good reasons, and we all hope for Christian unity, so I recognize a
variety of opinions, and that there may be a variety of answers. If there
is anything as an aside you want kept private just mark them as such,
and I will respect that - perhaps some personal opinions etc.
The answers will be for publication, so I will assume anything else is public.
Similarly I will use words like "I feel/my feeling" to express an aside.
It may be helpful if he used the following abbreviations if there are
subtle distinctions that need to be made:
ACoE - Apostolic Church of the East,
AACoE - Ancient Apostolic Church of the East,
*ACoE - in all likelihood both of the above if there was a reunification,
Background:
There was a tremendous amount of work done on the www.atour.com and
peshitta.org websites on the PeshittA and its translation into English
over the last 20 years. The bulk of the work was done by Deacon Paul
Younan of the Chicago diocese of the ACoE, but as an individual, not
as a church sanctioned activity. The work addressed the question of
PeshittA primacy of the NT, a question vital to all Christians, within
or without any church. Your beatitude may know him, or know of him.
Paul Younan met with the then bishop Awa Royel about a plan to
support the Peshitta translation when he was bishop in Chicago on 06-09-2012:
http://peshitta.org/for/showthread.php?tid=2829&pid=15919#pid15919
I spent 2 hours with His Grace Mar Awa, along with two other bishops
(the newly ordained bishop for Chicago/Eastern US, His Grace Mar
Paulus, and also His Grace Mar Narsai of Tehran, Iran.) We spoke at
length about the project and the next steps. In the short term, we are
interviewing people with various abilities who would like to
participate in some capacity.
The massive work by a team of a dozen or more members has been abandoned,
and mail to Paul at the site bounces. I have tried to contact him through
St. Johns and the diocese but no reply from the church, or frustrations
from the diocese. If you have any way of contacting him I'd be most
grateful if you passed this on to him, but my questions still
stand as I know Paul's answers to these questions; indeed I will cite him.
I have spent a lot of time examining the case for PeshittA Primacy,
and a close examination of the PeshittA vs. the Textus Recptuss makes a
very strong case, and a hugely important one for all Christians. I have
extracted the work done by Paul and others, rechecked it using the
modern PeshittA tools of https://www.dukhrana.com/peshitta/ and the cited
lexicons, and have pulled this together into a solid case for it.
(In what follows there is markup in it - please ignore the markup.)
There is a chain of transmission of the curation of the PeshittA: the
patriarchs of the Apostolic Church of the East (ACoE). Paul quotes this:
http://www.peshitta.org/initial/peshitta.html
"With reference to....the originality of the Peshitta text, as the
Patriarch and Head of the Holy Apostolic and Catholic Church of the
East, we wish to state, that the Church of the East received the
scriptures from the hands of the blessed Apostles themselves in the
Aramaic original, the language spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself,
and that the Peshitta is the text of the Church of the East which
has come down from the Biblical times without any change or revision."
Mar Eshai Shimun, , Catholicos Patriarch of the East, April 5, 1957
So as of April 5, 1957, I could consider there to be an official position
of the ACoE in support of the Primacy of the PeshittA, saying it is the
church's teaching.
Yet this quote of Paul's says that this is not currently the case:
Yet here is a contrasting quote from Deacon Paul Younan on the defacto
Church of the East position:
http://peshitta.org/for/showthread.php?tid=2104&pid=11387#pid11387
Most people in the ACoE (clergy and laymen) I've met and spoken to are
Aramaic primacists, but not all. Both Qashe I've served with at
St. John (Qasha Charles Klutz, and Qasha Antwan Latchin) are Aramaic
primacists. But they never mention these topics in their sermons,
other than an occasional "The Aramaic text says this" kind of statement.
I've found that it's usually the younger clergy here in the West,
particularly those who have studied in Western institutions like the
Vatican, who are Greek primacists.
There is no debate on this topic within the ACoE, simply because it's
not really something the Church places emphasis on.
...
Within the ACoE, especially since after the Patriarch Mar Eshai was
assassinated, there really has been no emphasis whatsoever on this
topic. Personally I have never heard anything from the pulpit, in a
sermon, epistle or any other communication about it.
This is anomalous to me, and I note that in 20 years of working on the
PeshittA, and elucidating the case of PeshittA primacy, no other *ACoE
deacon, priest, or bishop ever joined the work being done on the sites.
Questions:
(In the following I am only concerned with the New Testament.)
1) So my first question is: is the does the *ACoE currently hold the
position of the primacy of the PeshittA in Aramaic over the Greek
Textus Receptus?
My feeling is that it was yes in April 1957, and it is now not yes.
My feeling is that if it is now not yes, it may be out of a fear of
offending a reconciliation with Rome. It would call into question
the role of the *ACoE as the curators of the PeshittA.
1bis) If it not yes now, am I wrong saying it was yes in 1957?
2) My second question is: exactly what version does the *ACoE advise to
your parishioners who want to read the New Testament in modern Syriac?
Is there a particular version in modern Syriac the church sells? Does
it contain the Western 5 books or Western readings (Acts 20:28, Heb. 2:9)?
3) My third question is: exactly what version does the *ACoE advise to
your parishioners who want to read the New Testament in English?
Is there a particular version in English the church sells? Does
it contain the Western 5 books or Western readings (Acts 20:28, Heb. 2:9)?
We know of no good translation of the PeshittA into English; the best
published one, although out of print, I feel is by Etheridge.
(I exclude from consideration the one by Lamsa, because it is unknown
what he used as a basis for his translation.)
There are two good translation efforts of the PeshittA into English -
https://www.peshitta.org and the https://theholyaramaicscriptures.com/
4) My fourth question is: is the *ACoE actively supporting either of the
current translation efforts that I feel are good? If not, why not?
The importance of the questions is that if Aramaic Primacy is demonstrated,
then the PeshittA, as curated by the *ACoE, is the reference bible for
all of Christendom.
We look forward to your considered response.

//Peter to James, the lord and bishop of the holy Church, under the Father of all, through Jesus Christ, wishes peace always.//^^1^^ //// === Chapter I.-Doctrine of Reserve.
Knowing, my brother, your eager desire after that which is for the advantage of us all, I beg and beseech you not to communicate to any one of the Gentiles the books of my preachings which I sent to you, nor to any one of our own tribe before trial; but if any one has been proved and found worthy, then to commit them to him, after the manner in which Moses delivered //his books// to the Seventy who succeeded to his chair. Wherefore also the fruit of that caution appears even till now. For his countrymen keep the same rule of monarchy and polity everywhere, being unable in any way to think otherwise, or to be led out of the way of the much-indicating Scriptures. For, according to the rule delivered to them, they endeavour to correct the discordances of the Scriptures, if any one, haply not knowing the traditions, is confounded at the various utterances of the prophets. Wherefore they charge no one to teach, unless he has first learned how the Scriptures must be used. And thus they have amongst them one God, one law, one hope. === Chapter II.-Misrepresentation of Peter's Doctrine.
In order, therefore, that the like may also happen to those among us as to these Seventy, give the books of my preachings to our brethren, with the like mystery of initiation, that they may indoctrinate those who wish to take part in teaching; for if it be not so done, our word of truth will be rent into many opinions. And this I know, not as being a prophet, but as already seeing the beginning of this very evil. For some from among the Gentiles have rejected my legal preaching, attaching themselves to certain lawless and trifling preaching of the man who is my enemy.^^2^^ And these things some have attempted while I am still alive, to transform my words by certain various interpretations, in order to the dissolution of the law; as though I also myself were of such a mind, but did not freely proclaim it, which God forbid! For such a thing were to act in opposition to the law of God which was spoken by Moses, and was borne witness to by our Lord in respect of its eternal continuance; for thus he spoke: "The heavens and the earth shall pass away, but one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law."^^[[https://www.tertullian.org/fathers2/ANF-08/footnote/fn32.htm
&P3265_1017466|3]]^^ And this He has said, that all things might come to pass. But these men, professing, I know not how, to know my mind, undertake to explain my words, which they have heard of me, more intelligently than I who spoke them, telling their catechumens that this is my meaning, which indeed I never thought of. But if, while I am still alive, they dare thus to misrepresent me, how much more will those who shall come after me dare to do so! === Chapter III.-Initiation.
Therefore, that no such thing may happen, for this end I have prayed and besought you not to communicate the books of my preaching which I have sent you to any one, whether of our own nation or of another nation, before trial; but if any one, having been tested, has been found worthy, then to hand them over to him, according to the initiation of Moses, by which he delivered //his books// to the Seventy who succeeded to his chair; in order that thus they may keep the faith, and everywhere deliver the rule of truth, explaining all things after our tradition; lest being themselves dragged down by ignorance, being drawn into error by conjectures after their mind, they bring others into the like pit of destruction. Now the things that seemed good to me, I have fairly pointed out to you; and what seems good to you, do you, my lord, becomingly perform. Farewell. === Chapter IV.-An Adjuration Concerning the Receivers of the Book.
1. Therefore James, having read the epistle, sent for the elders; and having read it to them, said: "Our Peter has strictly and becomingly charged us concerning the establishing of the truth, that we should not communicate the books of his preachings, which have been sent to us, to any one at random, but to one who is good and religious, and who wishes to teach, and who is circumcised, and faithful. And these are not all to be committed to him at once; that, if he be found injudicious in the first, the others may not be entrusted to him. Wherefore let him be proved not less than six years. And then according to the initiation of Moses, he //that is to deliver the books// should bring him to a river or a fountain, which is living water, where the regeneration of the righteous takes place, and should make him, not swear-for that is not lawful-but to stand by the water and adjure, as we ourselves, when we were re-generated,^^4^^ were made to do for the sake of not stoning.
2. "And let him say: `I take to witness heaven, earth, water, in which all things are comprehended, and in addition to all these, that, air also which pervades all things, and without which I cannot breathe, that I shall always be obedient to him who gives me the books of the preachings; and those same books which he may give me, I shall not communicate to any one in any way, either by writing them, or giving them in writing, or giving them to a writer, either myself or by another, or through any other initiation, or trick, or method, or by keeping them carelessly, or placing them before //any one,// or granting him permission //to see them,// or in any way or manner whatsoever communicating them to another; unless I shall ascertain one to be worthy, as I myself have been judged, or even more so, and that after a probation of not less than six years; but to one who is religious and good, chosen to teach, as I have received them, so I will commit them, doing these things also according to the will of my bishop.
3. "`But otherwise, though he were my son or my brother, or my friend, or otherwise in any way pertaining to me by kindred, if he be unworthy, that I will not vouchsafe the favour to him, as is not meet; and I shall neither be terrified by plot nor mollified by gifts. But if even it should ever seem to me that the books of the preachings given to me are not true, I shall not so communicate them, but shall give them back. And when I go abroad, I shall carry them with me, whatever of them I happen to possess. But if I be not minded to carry them about with me, I shall not suffer them to be in my house, but shall deposit them with my bishop, having the same faith, and setting out from the same persons //as myself.//^^5^^ But if it befall me to be sick, and in expectation of death, and if I be childless, I shall act in the same manner. But if I die having a son who is not worthy, or not yet capable, I shall act in the same manner. For I shall deposit them with my bishop, in order that if my son, when he grows up, be worthy of the trust, he may give them to him as his father's bequest, according to the terms of this engagement.
4. "`And that I shall thus do, I again call to witness heaven, earth, water, in which all things are enveloped, and in addition to all these, the all-pervading air, without which I cannot breathe, that I shall always be obedient to him who giveth me these books of the preachings, and shall observe in all things as I have engaged, or even something more. To me, therefore, keeping this covenant, there shall be a part with the holy ones; but to me doing anything contrary to what I have covenanted, may the universe be hostile to me, and the all-pervading ether, and the God who is over all, to whom none is superior, than whom none is greater. But if even I should come to the acknowledgment of another God, I now swear by him also, be he or be he not, that I shall not do otherwise. And in addition to all these things, if I shall lie, I shall be accursed living and dying, and shall be punished with everlasting punishment. "And after this, let him partake of bread and salt with him who commits them to him." === Chapter V.-The Adjuration Accepted.
James having thus spoken, the elders were in an agony of terror. Therefore James, perceiving that they were greatly afraid, said: "Hear me, brethren and fellow-servants. If we should give the books to all indiscriminately, and they should be corrupted by any daring men, or be perverted by interpretations, as you have heard that some have already done, it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error. Wherefore it is better that they should be with us, and that we should communicate them with all the fore-mentioned care to those who wish to live piously, and to save others. But if any one, after taking this adjuration, shall act otherwise, he shall with good reason incur eternal punishment. For why should not he who is the cause of the destruction of others not be destroyed himself? "The elders, therefore, being pleased with the sentiments of James exclaimed, "Blessed be He who, as foreseeing all things, has graciously appointed thee as our bishop; "and when they had said this, we all rose up, and prayed to the Father and God of all, to whom be glory for ever. Amen.^^6^^
