Oh dear brilliant and educated pagan priest, the Greek word for rabbi simply means "my master."

The Hebrew word for my master is ba'ali, which means "my husband."

It is amazing how circular these conversations get.

Does not apply.

The claim was that Jesus was called "Rabbi" which meant he was married. If Jesus was called "Rabbi," how do we know that? From the NT. In what language is the NT written? Greek. Therefore the Greek for Rabbi is all we can apply. If you wish to apply Hebrew, indicate the source document in which Jesus was called "Rabbi" in Hebrew.
