Therefore, the original inspired writings of the Apostles were written in Aramaic, not in koine Greek. Jesus and the Apostles not only spoke in Aramaic (a Semitic language similar to Hebrew, originally of the Syrian Aramaeans), they also wrote in Aramaic. Reduced to its simplest form, the Aramaic argument may be summarized as follows. Translations from the Aramaic to Greek and then into English have left the Bible with “numerous errors,” which must be corrected by someone knowledgeable in the Aramaic language. The Aramaic argument claims that Jesus and the Apostles spoke and wrote in Aramaic, not in koine Greek. Meaning there's no salvation for sin and that God does not punish us (God does not punish, God does not reward) if we remain in a sinful state. Errico does not recognize Jesus' death on the cross as a redemption of our sin.

If you're wondering if Errico is teaching another gospel, that's precisely what he's doing with his Aramaic translation of the bible.

While no one will argue that Jesus and his disciples spoke some Aramaic, and there is nothing wrong with the Aramaic language, the controversy lies in Errico's interpretation in the Aramaic bible which he translated himself, and in some degree, his understanding of the gospel as you'll see in the video. He is the man in the video, the author and translator of the "Aramaic Bible in Plain English" translation in the video link below. He teaches from the Holy Bible, a translation from Aramaic to English by his mentor Dr. Rocco Errico is a near eastern theologian and Aramaic expert. However you guys can debate amongst yourselves, I could use a bump to keep this thread on the first page so more viewers are made aware.ĭr. I wanna bring up a topic on a particular bible translation not intended to be a debate but as a warning to all unfamiliar with this version of the bible, the Aramaic Bible in Plain English.
