There was no "original Hebrew".

It took me a long while to realize this fact once I became serious about learning about my faith in God. There seems to be some sect or group of Christians that assert the original manuscripts of Scripture were written in Hebrew, and then later into Greek. Some even assert that there was a conspiracy to hide this fact and that's why we don't have old copies of Hebrew (NT) manuscripts today.

I've never been able to figure out which group or sect this is though. I think it's the "Church of God" types and subtypes, but it might be the 7th Day Adventists too. I'd really like to know which group does teach this (so I can properly warn against them).

After all, again, I was exposed to this teaching early on in my faith (re)formation; it caused me a lot of confusion. I'd like to spare others of this needless, conspiracy fueled delusion. At least when anyone is in the state I was in, exploring their new found faith. Such error could cause someone to seriously miss the mark, if one takes it seriously and then builds one's faith on such a faulty premise.

Through the work of Karaite Jewish scholar Nehemiah Gordon, that is now all solidly proven fact.

Unfortunately, even through all of that research in the ancient Dead Sea scrolls, Nehemiah is still not yet fully convinced that Yeshua is the messiah. Please pray for him!

"There seems to be some sect or group of Christians that assert the original manuscripts of Scripture were written in Hebrew, and then later into Greek."

It's not the crime, but the cover up. Protestantism depends heavily on denying the Septuagint, and with it the deuterocanonicals, are inspired. It is pretty embarrassing to many of them that when St. Paul spoke of the Bereans being noble and judiciously searching Scripture (Acts 17:11) and infamous Protestant apologetic of all Scruipture being God breathes, (2 Timothy 3:16) he was referring to the Septuagint with the deuterocanonicals.

Peace be with you
