Your point was Latin was used. The burden of proof is on you not me. You stated the Roman Empire spoke Latin and that is why the early Scriptures were in Latin. I called bunk on that and you tried to steer the convo elsewhere.

“Your point was Latin was used.”

Yes, and?

“The burden of proof is on you not me.”

There is no burden on me at all. I made no claim that needs to be proved.

“You stated the Roman Empire spoke Latin and that is why the early Scriptures were in Latin.”

No. I never said that. First, I doubt I ever would have said “the Roman Empire spoke Latin” since empires don’t speak. People speak. Empires don’t. Let’s go back and look at what was actually posted to you since you’re not getting it right, okay?

Here is what you wrote in #23:

“When Christ told the disciples to preach the Gospel to the world I don’t think He meant Latin.”

In post #26 I responded with:

“Except when preaching to Romans, right?”

Now, did I say anything there about “the Roman Empire spoke Latin and that is why the early Scriptures were in Latin”?

Nope. Next:

“And what was the Empire which ran most of the known world at that time? Oh, yeah, it was the ROMAN Empire. And what language was used in much of the Roman Empire? Oh, right, Latin.”

There too, did I say anything like “the Roman Empire spoke Latin and that is why the early Scriptures were in Latin”?

Nope.

“I called bunk on that and you tried to steer the convo elsewhere.”

No, not at all. I never, EVER, said anything like “the Roman Empire spoke Latin and that is why the early Scriptures were in Latin.”

This is easy to prove. Show me where I ever, AND I MEAN EVER, claimed “the Roman Empire spoke Latin and that is why the early Scriptures were in Latin.”

You will fail, utterly, to do so.
