If I read the bible and pretend that I can speak Aramaic, will I be saved?

What pray tell does Aramaic have to do with the HOLY WORD OF G-D?

Are you unaware that the Gospels and Epistles
were breathed by the Ruach haKodesh in Koine Greek
for our understanding.

Koine Greek was the language that the whole world spoke at the time of Y'shua.

Do not take your understanding from Mel Gibson and his movie.

b'shem Y'shua

You're not doing a very good job of trying to CONVERT people.

Here we go again! You never did answer several persons' questions, on another recent thread, asking point-blank: Did Jesus speak Aramaic to the Apostles or not?

We're not so stupid that we don't know what language the New Testament was writte in! Indeed, Matthew's Gospel was originally written in either Hebrew or Aramaic, as there are far too many Semiticisms in it for things to be otherwise.

But you yourself seem to think the whole thing was written in Hebrew. You prove my point by insisting on Hebraicisms in many of your posts. For example, that the Holy Spirit be referred to as Ruach haKodesh. That, I submit, is NOT Greek.

I'd still like to hear your answer about the language spoken by Jesus in everyday conversation with both the Apostles and the common people He encountered in His ministry.

All along they thought it was Latin!

LOL!

They don't bother to read the Bible. If they did they wouldn't be Catholic.

Nothing like throwing out some bait and then waiting for "Catholic bashing" when all along the topic posted is Protestant bashing!

Oh, well ... .
