Christ and the apostles did not speak Greek. They spoke Aramaic.

***

Wow, ignoring the original language that the Bible was written in?

And considering the fact that Koine was THE universal language at the time, you’ve decided to call Jesus stupid enough that he couldn’t possibly know BOTH of the languages spoken in Judea at the time. Especially considering that he named Peter after a word... IN THE GREEK LANGUAGE.

And you present this without ANY Scriptural basis?

Oh, sorry. IGNORING Scriptural basis, because the Gospels make special exception for when Jesus DOES speak Aramaic. As in, that’s an unusual thing. You’d think that they’d have mentioned somewhere that Jesus spoke ONLY Aramaic.

And for what, so you can make an assumption that just so happens to support what you’ve already decided. The very definition of confirmation bias.

Yeah, you’ve sure educated me all right. Too bad it’s not the education you intended.

Allow me to snort with laughter.

Oh, and you still haven’t answered my accusations about the Roman Catholic hierarchy committing blasphemy against the Word of God. Because if they HAVE, then all your arguments are moot because the Roman Catholics are no longer a church at ALL and stand condemned.

You are really ignorant and did not read what I wrote, or maybe you simply do not understand English. I said Scripture references Cephas 4 times in Cor and 4 times in Gal. Also once in John

Scripture calls Peter Cephas - the Greek for Kepha, which is Aramic for Rock.

Why would there be so many references to Peter the Rock if those were not the words of Christ? And again, I ask you to use Scripture to prove your beliefs.

John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter).

1 Corinthians 1:12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

1 Corinthians 3:22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours,

1 Corinthians 9:5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?

1 Corinthians 15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve.

Galatians 1:18 Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.

Galatians 2:9 James, Cephas and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.

Galatians 2:11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

Galatians 2:14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?
