“The fact that the NT writings were Hebrew is showing up in the collections of MS of the Soviet Jews in St. Petersburg.”


Really? I just googled it and it said it was written about the 14th or 13th century. Pretty sure the New Testament was written in the first century, most of it before the destruction of the Jewish temple in 70AD. Only John, who lived longer, produced works after that. And you still haven’t provided any evidence or proof that the texts I cited SPECIFICALLY were actually written in Hebrew, and then translated to Greek. You only told me that those medieval rabbanical translations somehow disproved the “anomalies” in Matthew, whatever they are.

Can you please cite serious evidence instead of dodging my very specific requests?

.
Yes, and that was in Hebrew. The only NT author that was even capable of writing any other language was Paul, but Hebrew was his language without a doubt, since he was a scholar of the Hebrew scriptures, and a Pharisee.

Do you think any of the originals exist? That would be impossible, biologically, since they were written on skins and parchments that would decompose to dust.

You need to understand that Hebrew is the language of YHVH, and of his people. It speaks not just in words, but also in pictures, each character being a picture used symbolically.

Yeshua didn’t bring a new faith to his people; he fulfilled the ancient faith, and it cannot be fully propagated in any language but Hebrew.
