I didn’t realize Greek was the standard language of Jerusalem at the time of Christ; especially given the mixture of Roman soldiers and fervent Hebrews. I guess one learns something new every day. I can go back to bed now.

Not so fast, HD! :) When you find Hebrew originals of the Gospels then we will go by their constructs. In the meantime we will have to follow the Greek system. I believe we all that the NT was choesn to be in Greek. Why is there so much resistence in the Protestant community to this?

1. as has long since been established even Jewish rabbis note that Hebrew was only known in the temple during Christ time and even in Jerusalem it was a minority language.

2. If you have a problem with Greek let's just throw out all the gospels that we only have Greek copies of! Then the prots can get around to denying Christ the way the jews still do!
