Concerning the questions: "Can you repeat your research by examining only the Aramaic Luke's Gospel and Acts with the Greek Luke's Gospel and Acts? In addition, can you do the same for Paul's Western Epistles? Paul is writing to a predominantly Greek audience, why would he write in Aramaic? After all, he is the apostle of the Gentiles, not the Jews, and the founder (apostle) of the Greek Church. "
This has already been well studied on this site. Please read Andrew Roth's new book RAUCH QADIM, published in 2005 by Tushiyah Press ( http://www.tushiyah.org ). Anrew explains it all very well.
The Apostle Paul was a Aramaic-speaking Hebrew scholar. His visits to the gentile lands were centered on communication with local Jews and Aramaic-speaking gentiles. Paul thought and wrote in his native Aramaic. His writings may have been very soon translated into Greek, but Apostle Paul wrote them in the language of the Messiah.
In the book NEW TESTAMENT ORIGIN first published in 1947, George Lamsa correctly wrote: "Aramaic is indeed the key to the Scriptures and an answer to many New Testament problems. Not a word of the Scriptures was originally written in Greek."
