# 📜 THE ARAMAIC PESHITTA — NOT GREEK, NOT LATIN
**The Voice of Yeshua’s True Followers — No Paul, No Church Lies**
---
## 1️⃣ ORIGINS OF THE PESHITTA — A SEMITIC WITNESS
### 🕎 The Aramaic Peshitta Tanakh (Old Testament)
🔹 Translated by Hebrew-speaking scribes before Yeshua’s time
🔹 Based on early Hebrew texts — not Masoretic vowel changes
🔹 Used by Torah-observant Jews across Babylon and Assyria
🔹 Shared linguistic roots with the Targums — Aramaic paraphrases of Torah
This was the Bible of the people — not the rabbis, and not Rome.

### ✝️ The Peshitta "New Testament"
The earliest followers of Yeshua **did not** use the modern Greek New Testament.
They preserved a **simple Aramaic collection** — **only 4 books**:
1️⃣ **Matthew** — From a Hebrew/Aramaic original
2️⃣ **Mark** — Based on Peter’s words
3️⃣ **John** — A Hebrew eyewitness
4️⃣ **James (Yaakov)** — Brother of Yeshua, leader in Jerusalem
🛑 They **did not use** Paul
🛑 They **did not use** Luke
🛑 They **did not use** Acts
❌ No 2 Peter
❌ No 2 & 3 John
❌ No Jude
❌ No Revelation
Those were added **much later** — by Rome, not by The Way.

## 2️⃣ YESHUA SPOKE ARAMAIC — NOT GREEK
Yeshua taught in **Galilean Aramaic**, not in Greek or Latin.
💬 Even Greek Bibles couldn’t erase these Aramaic phrases:
✔️ *Talitha koum* — “Little girl, arise!” (Mark 5:41)
✔️ *Eli Eli lama sabachthani* — “Why have You forsaken Me?” (Matt. 27:46)
✔️ *Abba* — “Father” (Mark 14:36)
✔️ *Kefa* — “Peter” (John 1:42)
📖 His true words and idioms make **sense in Aramaic** — but not in Greek.

## 3️⃣ WORDPLAY, PROPHECY, AND MEANING — TWISTED IN GREEK
🔸 *Matthew 19:24*
Greek: Camel through the eye of a needle
Aramaic: “Gamla” = camel or **rope** — makes more sense
🔸 *Matthew 6:9*
Greek: “Our Father in the heavens” (plural)
Aramaic: *Abwoon d'bashmaya* — singular — one God, not multiple realms
🔸 *Isaiah 7:14*
Hebrew: *Almah* = young woman
Greek: *Parthenos* = virgin — a shift in prophecy to match Roman doctrine

## 4️⃣ HISTORICAL EVIDENCE FOR ARAMAIC ORIGINS
📜 **Papias (100 AD)** — “Matthew wrote in the Hebrew dialect”
📜 **Eusebius** — Quoted early statements about Hebrew/Aramaic origins
📜 **Jerome (400s AD)** — Saw Hebrew Matthew among Jewish believers in Syria
📜 **Old Syriac Gospels (Sinaitic & Curetonian)** — 4th–5th century Aramaic texts with NO Paul, NO Revelation, and NO Luke
---
## 5️⃣ THEY NEVER FOLLOWED PAUL OR GREEK IDEAS
The assemblies of The Way followed **Yeshua and His disciples** — not Paul.
✔️ **Thomas (Toma)** — Went to Syria, Persia, India
✔️ **Thaddeus (Addai)** — Sent to Edessa (Urfa)
✔️ **Mari** — Taught in Mesopotamia (Iraq)
📜 The **Doctrine of Addai** proves they taught:
✅ Obedience to Yhwh
✅ Faith in Yeshua as the Priest-King
✅ No offerings
✅ No church buildings
✅ No Roman control
✅ No Paul, no Luke, no Acts
They were **The Way** — not “Christians.”

## 6️⃣ GREEK VS. ARAMAIC — TWO OPPOSITE PATHS
| Aramaic Peshitta | Greek-Based Christianity |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Spoken by Yeshua | Foreign to Yeshua |
| No Paul or Luke | Dominated by Paul |
| Jewish monotheism | Trinitarian confusion |
| 4-book New Testament | 27-book Roman canon |
| Obedience to Yhwh | Grace alone, no Torah |
| Kept Yhwh’s Feasts | Replaced with Easter & Sunday |
| Based in Edessa, Syria | Based in Rome |
---
## 🔥 FINAL TRUTH — WHAT TO REJECT & WHAT TO KEEP
✅ Keep:
✔️ Matthew, Mark, John, James
✔️ Aramaic and Hebrew scriptures
✔️ Yhwh’s Feasts (Leviticus 23)
✔️ The covenant of obedience
✔️ The teachings of Yeshua
✔️ The Spirit of Yhwh — not the doctrines of men
❌ Reject:
✘ Paul’s letters
✘ Luke and Acts
✘ Greek-based theology
✘ Trinity, virgin birth myths, original sin
✘ Sunday worship, Easter, Christmas
✘ The Roman Church and all her daughters
---
## 📜 BACK TO THE ROOT — THE WAY OF YHWH
This is **not a religion**.
This is **not Christianity**.
This is a return to **the faith Yeshua lived and taught**.
📖 The Aramaic Peshitta preserved a remnant — **not corrupted by Paul, not rewritten by Rome**.
Yeshua walked in **obedience to Yhwh**.
His followers **did the same**.
They called themselves **The Way** —
And they kept **the covenant**, **the commandments**, and **the Feasts Yhwh said to do forever**.
