“And just what do those Greeks of today call that language that the Jews of today speak in their homeland today????? LOLOLOL — Get Real”

Its neither English nor Latin, nor for that matter Greek or Aramaic. Nor are the Jews writing scripture today in Hebrew any more than the NT was written in Hebrew or the Septuagint that Christ and the Apostles quoted.

What a religious tragedy and almost overwhelming, Mohammedan-like arrogance it is that English speakers think that their very bad translations of bad translations of other very bad translations are God’s own word. Its the same sort of mindset which has lead to this country pursuing a foreign policy designed to crush Eastern Christianity in favor of Mohammedanism from the Adriatic throughout the Middle East.

I believe that God honors the way that those English, that you malign, have taken those Greek Scriptures, kept locked away for centuries in those Greek monasteries, and disseminated them unselfishly into all the languages of the world than the way the Greeks wouldn't, couldn't, didn't and won't, can't, and still don't. LOL

Are you too, like kosta, going to claim that the Greek words "Hebraikos, Hebraios, Hebrais, Hebraisti" mean "Chaldean" or "Aramaic [Syriac]"?????

God had to take those Greek Scriptures out of the hands of the Greeks because they couldn't be trusted to translate them honestly and disseminate them faithfully. So he gave them to those who could and would do both -- and they have.
