The Jews considered Hebrew to be a Holy Language and every other language to be pagan. As such, the Jewish writers of the New Testament would never have allowed their sacred writings to be in a pagan language.

And yet, here you are, posting passages of Scripture in English, a pagan language.

E-S claimed way back that the majority of the world's population, including probably my own ancestry, is of Hebrew descent. If that's the case, why are you communicating to me in English, a language spoken by pagans? Why do you cite Scripture to me from the King James version, a translation into that same pagan language?

If I'm an Israelite, in other words, why don't you guys try to reason with me in Hebrew, since Hebrew concepts apparently don't translate well?

Now this IS a great example of a "Red Herring" - as the showing of how the meanings of faith/believing have changed from the original Hebrew to today's English IS that which we're talking about here...
