I do believe they exist even though I personally can't produce them.

In that case, we can all safely ignore your unsupported assertion that it is "blatantly obvious that much was lost in translation from Hebrew to Aramaic and then to Greek." You have no way of knowing what was allegedly originally written by the apostles in Hebrew or Aramaic. Proof by, "I'm sure it must be out there somewhere," is proof of nothing.

[Me] "blatantly obvious that much was lost in translation from Hebrew to Aramaic and then to Greek."

"I'm sure it must be out there somewhere," is proof of nothing.

What I state above, is not difficult to prove as I and others have done so already by showing where the actual name of Yeshua was corrupted. There are plenty of other examples.

What I said is I couldn't "produce personally", Hebrew texts older than the Greek translations. That doesn't mean they don't exist somewhere either knowingly or waiting to be discovered. Nor does it mean there isn't (and there is) circumstantial evidence leading to the original message being in Hebrew.

On another thread I posted links to a presentation my a the Hebrew Scholar Nehemiah Gordon presenting just such evidence. Glad to go dig 'em out for you if you are actually interested in pursuing this...
