jots and tittles didn’t exist then, the words in the Greek are iota and horn

IOW, you believe Hebrew & Aramaic, which is a form of Hebrew and the language that our Messiah spoke, was no longer existent during the time Messiah walked & preached on earth? He'll be interested to know that. The Greek text came out of Egypt, but the house of Judah who returned after captivity in Babylon remained faithful to the Hebrew. You might want to study the history of the Greek Septuagint before proffering more lies of the religious doctrine of man.

When the Greeks interpret Messiah as saying I am the “Alpha & the Omega”, they were taking this from the Hebrew/Aramaic text that said “I am the Alef & the Tov” which it is 1st & last words of the Hebrew alphabet. Do you think the Greeks came up with this on their own & out of some great revelation they had? In Hebrew the “Alef-Tov” is the definition of the heart of YHVH. Genesis begins with the Alef and Deuteronomy ends with the Tov. The Torah is the heart of YHVH in which YHVH declared the end from the beginning. The fact is, our Messiah was Jewish from infancy to death. He was not a Greek Christian and the only religious buildings Yah'shua Messiah taught in were the Jewish synagogues.

the tone I am getting from you is you seem to have a distaste(and I am being generous) for anyone who is not

I have no distaste for any person. I do however have much distaste for religious doctrine that persecutes & labels any person of any other religious doctrine based on their own religious doctrine rather than using the pure Scripture (Torah) that the Yah’shua Messiah & Apostles used in teaching. Did not our Messiah sit down with sinners in order to bring the Truth to them rather than persecuting them? The only people Yah’shua Messiah rebuked were those of His own religion, The Pharisees, Sadducee & Scribes because of the oral law/legalism they had burdened their people with. They had put their own religious doctrine above that of the Father thereby corrupting the integrity of YHVH & His good name.

Mt 7: 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

It might behoove the persecutors of Mormon doctrine to 1st place their own religious doctrine in the Light of YHVH’s heart which is His Torah, before running out and boasting of their own religious doctrine's righteousness over that of others.
