And we all know that a significant and rudimentary part of the Church back then must have been Greeks and Greek speakers like Luke so that must have affected the topic at hand

***But the Gospels were written in Greek, most probably by Greeks, and definitely for Greeks.
I think it is a fair assumption to say that the Greek Church understood her own scripture, in her own language, like no one else. ***

That is something that the Judaizers (and indeed the children of the Reformation) have seemingly never understood. And any attempt to include the Septuagint (the OT of Jesus and the Apostles) which was written in Greek falls upon either deaf ears or hostile ones.

The Greeks were the receptors of the NT, just as the Jews were the receptors of the OT. Does that not seem as if God switched horses in mid stream?
