# *Title: Two Kinds of Faith in the Peshitta: Why AMN and TPS Are Not the Same* *Subtitle: Greek has one word for faith. Aramaic has two. And the difference will wreck lazy theology.* *Intro* Every Bible translation tells you “faith” = pistis = belief. Simple. Except it isn’t. The Peshitta New Testament — the Aramaic text closest to what Yeshua actually spoke — refuses to use one word for pistis. It uses two: *haymanutha* [ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ] from *AMN* [אמן], and *pasa* [ܦܣܐ] from *TPS* [טפס]. Lexicons will tell you they both mean “faith.” Usage says otherwise. One gets praised. One gets rebuked. One acts. One freezes. And if you miss the split, you miss what real faith is. This isn’t academic. This is the difference between sinking and walking on water. --- ### *1. AMN — The Faith That Stands* *Root meaning: to be firm, established, trustworthy.* It’s where we get “Amen.” *Ex 17:12 Peshitta*: Moses’ hands were *haymen* [ܗܝܡܢ] — steady, firm. *Gen 15:6 Peshitta*: Abraham *h...

### *Blog Title: Born From the Head — God Wants Your Innocence Back* *John 3:3, 5* *“Unless a man be born from the head/beginning, he cannot see the kingdom of God… Unless a man be born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”* --- #### *1. Two phrases: from above/from ORIGIN in John* *John uses two different phrases in the Aramaic Peshitta. English Bibles usually flatten both to “from above” or “again.” But they’re not the same:* Phrase Transliteration Where Used Literal Sense Meaning **ܡܶܢ ܕܪܺܝܫ** **men drish** John 3:3, 3:7 “from the head / from the beginning” Origin, source, first. The head comes out first in birth. **ܡܶܢ ܠܥܶܠ** **men l’el** John 3:31, 19:11 “from above” Heaven, God’s realm, spatial height. *When John wants to say “authority from heaven,” he says _men l’el_. No wordplay.* *When Yeshua talks to Nicodemus about birth, He says _men drish_ “from the head.” Why?* --- #### *2. Why Nicodemus Thought “Womb”* *What comes out first in natural bir...

*Yeah, "quickly drink" comes from the LXX trainwreck. Skip it. Your blog will be cleaner without chasing that rabbit.* *Here’s a tight outline + your translation ready to drop in:* --- ### *Blog Draft: Isa 9:1 — Don’t Flee the Shame, Glory’s Coming to Galilee* #### *1. The Problem Verse* *Isaiah 9:1 [8:23 Hebrew] is mangled in most English Bibles.* *KJV: “Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such…”* *LXX: “Drink this first, act quickly…”* *Lamsa: “have rejoiced… mighty dominion”* *None of those match the Hebrew. None match the Peshitta. They all lose the contrast.* #### *2. Hebrew MT — My Translation* *כִּי לֹא מוּעָף לַאֲשֶׁר מוּצָק לָהּ* *“For there is to be no flying away for her who is in distress.”* *כָּעֵת הָרִאשׁוֹן הֵקַל אַרְצָה זְבֻלוּן וְאַרְצָה נַפְתָּלִי* *“As at the former time He made light the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,”* *וְהָאַחֲרוֹן הִכְבִּיד דֶּרֶךְ הַיָּם עֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן גְּלִיל הַגּוֹיִם* *“but at the latter t...

## *Blog Draft: Yah-Wah — The Name That Breathes Through Time* *The Name Yehowah isn’t static. It moves. It was, it is, it will be. Three tenses. Three measures. One breath.* *Most grammars flatten it to “He will be.” But the vowels, the consonants, and the Scripture tell a bigger story. The Name is fluid — perfect, present, imperfect — all at once. And it ends where all Scripture ends: Master Yah Yeshua.* --- #### *1. Two Roots, Not One: The Foundation* *Exodus 3:14 gives us Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh [אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה] “I AM that I AM.”* *But Hebrew has two verbs for “to be”:* *Hayah [היה] — to be, exist* *Hawah [הוה] — to become, happen, fall* *Drop the initial Heh, like Hebrew does in prefixed forms, and you get:* *Hayah becomes Yah [יה]* *Hawah becomes Wah [וה]* *Yah-Wah. “He was and He became.”* *Grammars teach one root. The text gives two. Two Ehyeh. Two actions.* --- #### *2. Run It Through the Tenses — Watch It Move* *If Yah-Wah is treated as one living verb, “to be-a...

The leaven hidden in 3 measures of meal: which the scribes removed, but is restored here. ### *Three Witnesses: They Called Him YHWH* *Isaiah 6 & Genesis 18 — Peshitta, Targums, Bullinger* *July 23, 2026* _The scribes changed it. 134 times. Bullinger proves it in Appendix 32 of The Companion Bible._ But I don’t need Bullinger’s word. I have three witnesses: *Peshitta, Targum, and the MT itself where they missed one.* --- #### *Witness 1: Genesis 18 — Abraham and the Three Men* *MT Gen 18:3:* Wayyomer *Adonay* "And he said, Adonai..." Ambiguous. Pointing decides if it’s "my lords" or "Lord." *Peshitta Gen 18:3:* Wemar *Mar-Yah* en kado... "And he said, *Mar-Yah — YHWH* — if now I have found favor..." *Singular. Divine. YHWH.* Not "my lords." *Targum Pseudo-Jonathan Gen 18:3:* Wamar *bimtu minnakh YWY* "And he said: *I beseech you, YHWH*..." *YHWH. Direct. To the three men.* *Bullinger’s List:...

*Here’s the blog in your voice. Direct. Letter-by-letter. No scholar worship. I cut out the Hebrew characters like you asked and left YHWH where He belongs.* --- ### *Isaiah 8: The Chapter “Scholars” Don’t Want You to Read Letter-by-Letter* *By [Your Name]* *“Therefore behold, YHWH brings up against them the waters of the River — the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will sweep through Judah… filling the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.”* *Isaiah 8:7-8* *Stop. Read that again.* *YHWH brings Assyria. Not “the Lord.” Not Adonay. YHWH.* Your Bible probably says “the Lord” in verse 7. That’s because the Sopherim changed it. *Bullinger lists Isa 8:7 in Appendix 32 — one of 134 places they swapped YHWH for Adonay.* Why? Because they didn’t want YHWH named as the One flooding Immanuel’s land. *But 1QIsa-a, the Great Isaiah Scroll, 1000 years older than the Masoretes, says YHWH.* Yod-heh-waw-heh. *The Peshitta says Mar-Yah — Master YAH — YHWH.* They agree. The Masoretic Text ...
