Someone who claims to be an exJesuit claims that he saw the original Bible documents. His breakdown:
1 book, Hebrews, written in Hebrew.
1 book, Romans, written in Latin.
4 books, written in Aramaic
The rest in Greek.
Did he forget that the letters were to early Christians and that most Christians were Jewish converts? Were teh Jews not more readily swayed to Christianity because of expecting a Messiah??? Or does the 'multi language theory' have SOME basis, as teh Gospel was then given to the Gentiles as teh Jews rejected it? Either way, I have seen too much proof in the language from you guys to believe such things.
