You're just saying that because Greek is the first language of the Church.

Damn!

All that money wasted on my Aramaic lessons!

"All that money wasted on my Aramaic lessons! "

It's never a waste to learn another language, especially one associated with The Faith. With your knowledge of Aramaic you'll be right at home at a Maronite Liturgy or for that matter, at any liturgy which uses West Syriac which are mostly those of the Non-Chalcedonian Oriental Orthodox, though I sincerely doubt you'll like what you hear. :) Aramaic, btw, like Slavonic, Arabic, Coptic and Ge'ez accurately translates the Greek the NT was written in. Western Latin and Anglo Saxon based languages generally do not.

How many NT documents were written in Aramaic?
