Sacred names – I don’t th<strong>in</strong>k you will go to Hell for say<strong>in</strong>g “Jesus” or “God” even when you know that<br />

<strong>the</strong>se are not <strong>the</strong> orig<strong>in</strong>al designations. However, I do believe that if we know <strong>the</strong> proper names, we may<br />

as well use <strong>the</strong>m. So, you will often f<strong>in</strong>d me referr<strong>in</strong>g to Jesus and God by <strong>the</strong> Hebrew and/or Aramaic<br />

pronunciations. Yeshua (Aramaic and Hebrew) is used to refer to Jesus, while Alaha (Aramaic) and<br />

Eloha (Hebrew) are used to refer to God.<br />

No punches pulled – Please note that <strong>the</strong>re is no <strong>in</strong>tention from <strong>the</strong> author to offend any person or group.<br />

If I may sound judgmental <strong>in</strong> say<strong>in</strong>g that so-and-so church has done this, it is not to offend, it is fact. If I<br />

say that so-and-so verse <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Peshitta can affect a doctr<strong>in</strong>e, it is not to push my beliefs, it is fact. <strong>The</strong><br />

problem with honesty and truth is that people can get offended easily. Do not take offence to any part of<br />

this work, for none is <strong>in</strong>tended.<br />

Contact – If you want to ask questions, extend praise, supply new <strong>in</strong>formation, criticize, testify, send<br />

death threats, etc, I can be e-mailed at peshitta_enthusiast@hotmail.com<br />
