I would ask them to give me one example, just one, of a Koine manuscript other than the LXX (a known translation from a Semitic language) and the Greek NT that reads something like:

"rose up Alexander, and saw him the people."

Then, I will be convinced that God would inspire His greatest work in a creole-like language that any minimally educated Greek would be disgusted and frustrated with reading.

The fact is, the Greek NT reads the exact same way as the LXX. And we all know the LXX is a translation.

Just one other work in Koine that uses this "Verb First" Semitic trademark. Then I will be convinced.

There's a huge difference between Koine Greek and Translational Greek. There was indeed a Koine Greek, but nobody I have ever asked has been able to show me one Koine Greek work that reads like the LXX or GNT do.
