All of the NT was first written in the only language in which the apostles were sufficiently literate: Hebrew. It soon got translated to Aramaic because much of the dispersion of the house of Israel that they were commissioned to reach were in Aramaic speaking enclaves.

Nonsense! Hebrew was replaced by Aramaic, when Israel was in BABYLON. After that time Hebrew was only used in worship services.

Your Hebrew New Testament line has slightly less reality than a cow jumping over the moon.

The nonsense is that a short stay in a foreign country could “replace” the language of a culture.

Your assertion is refuted by the prophet Daniel’s writings, the only part of which is not in Hebrew is that chapter written by Nebuchadnezzar.

Also, the book of Nehemiah demolishes that absurdity rather well.

Ignorance and absurdity seem to be your chosen refuge.
