Easy - the New Testament is in Greek. God chose no other language to wrote the New Testament in and used Greek to evangelize.

Lastly, the New Testament is written to highlight that it is the bridge to the rest of the world via the Greeks.

Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." KJV

I think this is an attempted answer to the question of where God identifies Himself by reference to the ancestors of the Greeks. I wasn't asking about what language the New Testament was written in. I was asking where God calls Himself the "God of [whoever the relevant people would be]" as he told Moses, "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."

Come on. Show me.

I predict the best you can do is Romans 3:29. But that's a different kind of thing and, needless to say, hardly gives the Greeks any high status.

Lastly, the New Testament is written to highlight that it is the bridge to the rest of the world via the Greeks.

So I guess Zechariah 8:23 should be changed to read Greek instead of Jew, eh?

Do you seriously think the New Testament was written in Greek to give ethnic Greeks an advantage over everyone else?

Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." KJV

Interesting you would quote that. Your whole point is claiming a privileged status precisely because you're Greek. But if there is no Greek, that goes out the window.
