Hard to even consider someone a “Christian” that doesn’t realize that Yehova’s creation is 6000 years old, and that Jeremiah 17:5-8 is absolute fact.
As for theology, it’s strictly for unbelievers.
Yeshua’s sheep need only the word.
It’s Yeshua for his sheep, capische?
He was never called Jesus in his life, and any English speaker that isn’t literate enough to call him by his real name doesn’t post to internet sites.
If you don’t love him enough to call him by his given, powerful name, you just don’t know him at all.
The language of the Bible (OT and NT) is Greek. Come on, speak in Greek to us, since He was spoken to and spoke in Greek. We’re all waiting...
The language of Yehova’s word is Hebrew, the very language of the garden.
Yeshua spoke Hebrew, as did all of his apostles. The Greek came centuries later, and was the preserved language due to Constantine’s persecution of Yeshua;s sheep, and destruction of his word. (but he didn’t get it all!)
Those that revel in the Greek are not his.
Jesus and the Apostles did not speak Hebrew. The language of the street was Aramaic. The language of the Bible is Greek. There is no NT in Hebrew (except after the fact centuries later). Those Judaizers are not His.
No, the language of the street in Jerusalem has never been anything but Hebrew.
There has never been a time when the Hebrew population of Jerusalem spoke any other language.
The original manuscripts of every NT book were Hebrew, and Hebrew remained the chief language of The Way until the persecution of Yeshua’s sheep by Constantine, and his purge of all things of Yeshua, and Hebrew.
Constantine slaughtered thousands, and possibly millions, and his purge continued well past his end. His mother even established anti-Jew tourist sites in Jerusalem, which are now known as “the stations of the cross.”
Turn back to Yeshua while you still have time!
I'm fascinated by your approach to reality.

Hebrew as a language nearly died out due to its being relegated to only ceremonial occasions.

Negative. Proffer anything in Hebrew from the NT before the 3rd Century. Go on. I dare you.
Constantine slaughtered thousands, and possibly millions, and his purge continued well past his end. His mother even established anti-Jew tourist sites in Jerusalem, which are now known as the stations of the cross.
What colour are the skies in your world?
Turn back to Yeshua while you still have time!
Your concept of Yeshua does not seem to correspond with my concept of Jesus and the Trinitarian God of Christianity.
FYI
Hang on to your man-made ‘jesus’ then.
It appears to suit you.
I’ll hang on to the historical Jesus as described by the church and the Bible. Not the Yeshua fabricated by the wanna be god in the mirror.
“The Church” doesn’t describe anything. The church is an invisible mystical body that is incapable of taking any action.
As to what you call a church, that would be an imaginary jesus that was born on the birth date of Tammuz/Mithra, and none of Yeshua’s sheep would have anything to do with that one.
"If he will not listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector." --Jesus
Jesus could have said, "If he will not listen to ME." But he didn't. He said, "THE Church."
We must, of logical necessity, conclude that Christ's Church was distinct from Christ (with Christ as Its Head - Col 1:18), existent, visible, and enjoyed teaching Authority delegated from Christ Himself.
Fascinating. So neither Jesus nor Paul in constant reference to the Church were only pulling the wool over our eyes? And only you know the truth?

Let us see. Tammuz was a Sumerian shepherd god, birthdate unknown. Mithra was a Zoroastrian equivalent, birthdate unknown. Pray tell us of your Gnostic surety.
and none of Yeshuas sheep would have anything to do with that one.
I'll hang with Jesus and let you hang with whom you will.

Typical MarkBsnr strawman!
Neither Yeshua nor Paul ever gave any indication that the church was a corporation of men, like your catholic ‘church.’ To the contrary, they only spoke of assemblies, congregations, as being visibly defined, and Yeshua clearly told us that his church was “wherever two or three of you are gathered in my name.”
And your gods’ birth dates are all firmly set in tradion as December 25, which was the solstice at the time. That is even the source of your sign of the cross: Winter solstice, Summer solstice, Vernal Equinox, Autumnal Equinox. That is why the catholic church uses the four point cross instead of the Roman crucifixion ‘T’ cross.
