Well, I didn't know when it would happen, but it has  Dr.
Trimm is posting on my AramaicNT.org's Yahoo! Group about the primacy of
the Old Syriac, and I was hoping that you guys could help me out. I know especially that Akki Paul debated with him a while ago, and, Akki Paul, I would appreciate your help! Everyone who wants to help out will need a Yahoo! ID to sign up: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AramaicNT Shlomo,

I will not converse with James Trimm directly anymore since he refused to
be honest with me and everyone else on this forum, and I made that very clear
in the past, I will reply to his ridiculously idiotic example here and you
can use it anyway you want: His example from Matthew 18:2 is really stupid. Is he really saying something silly like "Khad", or "certain", is a Semiticism? Akhi, don't waste your time with his pseudo-scholarship. It
is so obvious that the so-called "Old Syriac" is a revision of the Peshitta
to bring it closer in line with the Alexandrian and Western texts. We've
posted these examples time and time again.....and what does this guy come
up with? "Certain" as a Semiticism? C'MON Akhi, you are far more versed in Aramaic than this guy. Fk^rwbw 0ml4

Hi Akhi,To be completely honest with you, I find it very annoying to argue with someone who can't even speak Aramaic, about Aramaic. James
Trimm is a student. He learned whatever little he knows from reading books.
That's not a bad thing. What is bad is when he sets himself up as some
sort of authority on the topic, which he is not. What's
worse is that he insists on arguing with me about the meaning of words he
has no clue about, about a language that is completely foreign to him and
that he can't even hold a 30-second discussion in, face-to-face. James Trimm is a person of Scottish lineage. His family background is deep southern U.S. Protestant Christian, not Jewish. Furthermore,
James Trimm has absolutely no credentials to be calling himself a "Dr.",
and you shouldn't address him is as such, either. That gives people the
wrong impression, but that's your choice. Nobody who really knows a spit of Aramaic pays any attention to him, as Dr. Kiraz will attest to you. I
will be here to answer any questions you need me for, but realize that I
have serious qualms about giving him any more undeserved attention than he
already gets. Fk^rwbw 0ml4
