To Larry about Lamsa books

Sep-12-2001 at 10:07 AM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)

Dear Larry,

I read some books from dr. Lamsa (Idioms explained, Gospel Light) and I have his Peshitta translation. Meanwhile Paul said that the COE and more scholars does not agree with some of Lamsa's translation as Paul also do not. I think for example about translations of verses with Satan and demons. What is your opinion about dr. Lamsa books? It seems to it is heavy work to find the correct translations among the false ones.

cheers,
Gabor

Dear Gabor,

I share your feelings about some of Dr. Lamsa's commentary and translation work. Satan and demons are a good place to start for both are very real and the Bible plainly commands us to 'cast them out' and not to tolerate their work in our hearts and lives at all. I love Dr. Lamsa's books but I must admit my extreme disappointment in his handling of certain subjects that require a firm grasp of certain spiritual issues. And yes, it is heavy work to find correct translations sometimes, but the end results of our labors will far exceed our frustrations. P.S. Hebrews chapter 11 says "he is a rewarder of those who DILIGENTLY seek Him "

Hello dear Larry,

thank you for your answer. I have also a lot of question but I think the life in this forum is decreased because of terrible things happened in the USA. Sometimes I feel my searching needless. Recently I started a topic in another Forum about nonexistence of the Satan, a few days later he appeared in the world himself .

I hope it can be NOT the end of the world, because before EOW some things must be happened by the Bible, but it is sure anything is preparing.

I ordered some books and I get them shortly (altough they come from the USA), do you read either?

Rocco A. Errico: The Mysteries of Creation
Rocco A. Errico: And There Was Light
G. Lamsa, R.A. Errico: Aramaic Ligh on the Gospel of Matthew

and the Holman Bible Dictionary.


it is interesting, I read recently about the origin of the Evil ... in the origin myth of a african tribe, the dogons.

God Bless You,
Gabor

Greetings Gabor,

I appreciate you getting back with me very much here on the forum. There is that certain weariness that comes through searching and doing research, but please remember David's statement "while I mused the fire burned". The only way to "keep the fire burning in our hearts" is to carefully reflect,ponder and diligently study the inspired Word of the Lord."Do not weary in well doing for in due season we will reap if we faint not" the Scriptures tell us.
As for your question about Rocco A. Errico's books, I haven't read any of them but I do have the Lamsa Bible from the ancient Eastern Text, Old Testament Light, Gospel Light, New Testament Light, Idioms in the Bible Explained, The Kingdom on Earth, and New Testament Origin (all these are by George M. Lamsa ) I highly recommend Dake's Annotated Reference Bible to anyone. He has a large print edition that I enjoy very much. I had heard that he fell prey to tritheism instead of the more orthodox trinitarianism in some of his notes, but his diligent study and careful cross-referencing "comes shining through"!! He is extremely dispensationalist(doesn't bother me in the least, but I thought I might tell you in case your views differ in this regard)

Agape, charis and eirene to you,
Brother Larry
