No, Yeshua’s words on the cross were all in Hebrew.

Really?
What language is "Eli, Eli, Lemana Shabakthani!"? (Matt 27:46) returns Aramaic.

Now you contradict the scripture, which say:

  1. That they spoke other languages:
    Acts 2:4 — All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
  2. That the crowd heard in their native language:
    Acts 2:6 — And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each.
    and
    Acts 2:8 — And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?
How would any of them know that they were actually understanding the pure language of Yehova, as long as they were understanding it?

Ridiculous — You are claiming that a man would not be able to recognize his own language? I had a college professor from Korea [IIRC] who had been in the US so long that he'd forgotten much of his native language — but he could still recognize it by ear.

They could only conclude that the apostles were speaking their own language if they understood it, but it is obvious that the apostles were not speaking anything but Yehova’s language.

Except the scripture says, three times, that it's other languages… not Hebrew.
Now, why do you insist on calling the Word of God a lie?

Understanding comes only to those that truly desire it.
Strong delusion comes to those that desire it too!
The quotes you post affirm my position.

Really?
Isn't your assertion that Hebrew is superior to other human languages and contradicting the record of Pentecost in effect calling that record, which is in scripture, flawed or a lie or a delusion?
Pentecost clearly refutes your assertion/hypothesis and yet you continue to make excuses for it. Why?
