FredLORD'S PRAYER/ARAMAIC JESUS
Dear friends,
I came across the name of Neil Douglas-Klotz through reading the book by Elisabeth West 'Happiness here and now'
http://www.spiritheart.org/chapel/lordpryr.htmhttp://www.bookfinder.com/author/neil-douglas-klotz/http://www.amazon.com/Happines...isited/dp/0826412459http://www.spiritualityandprac...ks/books.php?id=2203I was quite surprised by his translations of the Aramaic words of Jesus.
Again another Jesus? Again going away from orthodox faith?
I found this reaction on
http://www.selfknowledge.org/r...yersofthecosmos.htm:Roger Clough, a reader of this Web site, wrote the following response to this review:
The Neil Douglas-Klotz translation of the Lord's Prayer is beautiful, but his claim that it goes back to the "original sources" appears to be bogus. The text to the New Testament was originally written in Greek, not Aramaic. The Aramiac text which Klotz used as his "original" source (The Peshitta) is in fact a derived work, being translated into Aramaic from the original Greek text of the Bible, according to the Lion Encyclopedia of the Bible. A Catholic source (The New American Bible) also says that the New Testament was originally written entirely in Greek.
Some reply to all this?
Greetings,
Fred

KatyHere's another one:
The Lord's Prayer -
In the Language of the Indian Sages
Our Father in Heaven........................................The Source of our Being
Holy be your name.........................Lead us from un-holiness to holiness
Your Kingdom come........................... From fragmentation to wholeness
Your will be done on earth as in heaven..........From conflict to harmony
Give us today our daily bread.................................From time to eternity
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us....... From sin to grace.
Do not bring us to the test.........................................From duality to unity
But deliver us from evil........................................ From darkness to Light.
