[Uri’el-2012]

I understand your need to believe in the

hypothetical construct that Y’shua spoke only Aramaic.

 

Because if Y’shua spoke only Aramaic

then the eisegesis of Matthew 16:18 can stand.

 

Yes; many of the Jews spoke the language of their captors

i.e. Aramaic.

But the Chosen People of G-d never lost the ability to read

and write the language of the creator of the universe.

 

When the Jews needed a new language for people to read

the Holy Word of G-d, they chose the language that everyone

spoke, the Lingua Franca of the world : Koine Greek.

 

Koine Greek was selected as the most precise language

second only to the language of G-d in precision.

 

Have a great thanksgiving day; we enjoy many liberties in Y’shua

 

 

His willing bondslave

I NEVER said that! What I did say is that Aramaic was the language spoken by Jesus, his apostles, disciples and the majority of Jews at that time. Please DO NOT misconstrue my words!

Since Aramaic was the language that predominated, it is only natural that his words in Aramaic would have been translated into Koine Greek when forming the gospel.

The Convent of the Pater Noster was built over the site where Jesus taught His disciples the Lord's Prayer. The walls are decorated with 140 ceramic tiles, each one inscribed with the Lord's Prayer in a different language. Father Pierbattista, O.F.M., Father Eugenio Alliata, O.F.M. and Father Stefano De Luca, O.F.M., from the Custody of the Holy Land in Jerusalem, have supplied all of them to Christus Rex.

The problem with accepting this reality is yours.
