Aramaic/Edessan Temple Scrolls — Not the Source of Yhwh’s Word

1️⃣ What to Call Things — Terminology Fixes

Do not use “Hebrew.” It’s a later, state label. Use Yhwh’s line (early West‑Semitic marks) vs. the Aramaic/temple line.
Say Yhwh’s Word — never “Torah.”
Do not brand people as “Israel” or “Jews” for the ancient era; those are later state terms.

2️⃣ Yhwh’s Line — The Ancient Path Before Temples

Language/marks: Proto‑Canaanite / early West‑Semitic (no vowels) with the Name Yhwh written.
No kings, no priests, no temple economy; obedience and teshuvah only.
The five scrolls of Yhwh’s Word stand apart from temple systems and later edits.

3️⃣ The Aramaic/Edessan Temple Line — A Later Stream

Aramaic is the empire/temple language. It fuses crown and clergy, builds priests and blood‑systems.
Edessan/Peshitta materials belong to this later Aramaic stream and are not the source of Yhwh’s Word.
Useful for comparison at times, but not authoritative for Yhwh’s line.

4️⃣ Clean Timeline (BC First, AD Much Later)

c. 1900–1200 BC: Earliest West‑Semitic marks; Yhwh written; people walking with Yhwh without temples.
c. 600–300 BC: Aramaic empire/temple systems expand; priestly economies take hold.
AD 311–406: Roman councils consolidate a new religion; no Christianity before 325 AD; state dogma sealed.

5️⃣ Side‑by‑Side — Yhwh’s Line vs. Aramaic/Temple Line

Yhwh’s Line (Ancient)	Aramaic/Temple Line (Later)
Early West‑Semitic marks; Name Yhwh written; no vowels	Aramaic state language; temple clerics; empire scripts
No kings, no priests, no temple economy	Kings, priests, blood‑systems, tithes
Obedience + teshuvah (return)	Rituals, intermediaries, later dogma
Five scrolls of Yhwh’s Word only	Edessan/Peshitta and other Aramaic texts — comparative, not source

6️⃣ Keep / Reject

✅ Keep:

Yhwh’s Word from the ancient line (early West‑Semitic marks).
Repentance (teshuvah), obedience, walking directly with Yhwh.
Set‑apart times and ways of Yhwh (no priestly economy).

❌ Reject:

Temple/Aramaic priesthood systems, blood‑economies, royal priesthoods.
Roman AD dogmas (post‑325 AD), later councils, and Greek/Latin overlays.
Using Edessan/Peshitta as “the source.” It is a later, Aramaic/temple stream.

7️⃣ Final Word — Back to the Root

This is not a religion and not a church system. This is the ancient path:

No blood, no priests, no mediators — only obedience, teshuvah, and truth before Yhwh.

Editor’s note (cleanup of past errors): References to “Hebrew,” NT quotes, and claims that Edessan Aramaic is the primary source have been removed or reframed to align with the ancient stream of Yhwh’s line. The Aramaic/Edessan stream is treated as later and non‑authoritative.
