Here is a bit more evidence, not that it will matter one iota to you, but in the chance that someone else may find it educational...

Is Nehemiah Gordon a believer in Yeshua/Jesus (or however you want to say His blessed name)? Those who are anti-Christ are not to be trusted when it comes to teaching what scripture clearly says about the deity of Jesus Christ. And my "claims" are not baseless but backed up by Biblical scholars that DO follow Jesus Christ.

As for the languages of Judea and Galilee, let me ask you this...WHY was the Old Testament translated into Greek (the Septuagint) two hundred years BEFORE Christianity came into existence? DO you know that the Greeks ruled the known world before the Romans? Can you understand, perhaps, why Greek was the common language of the people of Judea and Galilee as well as the other regions of that part of the world?

Watch his presentation that I wasted all my time creating a table of contents for you.

Like this idiot? You MUST be kidding...

Obviously you didn't look at the last link I sent you either. I'm beginning to believe any attempt to provide you with evidence that contradicts your already made-up mind is a complete waste of time.

A valid and most logical point. We must also consider Acts 2 on how the Holy Spirit communicated the Gospel:

Acts 2:

5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” 12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”
