A Freakishly Simple Primacy Proof
#18
Zardak,

Why are you being rude? There is a way to speak in Love if you have the Truth. Please do this if you are able, if not just out of plain old respect and decent adult behaviour, but because it honors God and is a good witness to God's Power to change humanity.

As I said before, you don't seem to think that Paul had a biger picture in mind when sending his letters out. As if there wernt any people who spoke Aramaic in those Churches...You there were plenty who did so, as many of those whom Paul converted where of the Jews in diaspora, and these we often set in as the 1st leaders/Bishops. Check the lists of the 1st number of Bishops and you will see this.

Why is it so hard for you to understand that Paul wrote and Spoke in Aramaic as His native language? And then, perhpas directly after, it was translated into the other languages that the people spoke, so they too could read the words?

Study the Book of Acts more closely, and look at Chapter 14 on...and see that there were many Jews among the Gentiles, to who were converted through The Apostle Paul's ministy. Both Timothy and Lydia, were certainly Jewish people. In Thessalonica Paul goes to the Synagouge in Acts 17 "as was his custom" and made Disciples there of the Jews and the "Devout Greeks" vs 4. These devout Greeks, certainly spoke both in the Greek and Aramaic language. In Athens (can't get anymore Greek that that) we again see Paul preaching to the Jews in the Synagogue with the Jews and "Devout persons" i.e. Greeks who were Jewish converts. When Paul leaves Athens, he goes to Corinth in Chapter 18...and what does he find? A Jew named Aquila a native of Pontus, who came from Italy with his wife Priscilla. And where did they preach? In the Synagogue every Sabbath...this was in the year 49 A.D.

Later we see Apollos being mentioned...and where was he preaching? In the Synagogue to the Jews and "devout Greeks"...and was "refuting the Jews in public"...In Ephesus, Pal finds some Disciples who had been Baptised by John the Baptist...these men were clearly Jewish men...or devout Greeks, who were Jewish converts many years before, but had not come into full understanding of thisngs...and Paul taught them and laid His Apostolic hands upon them. 12 Men. And then he is said to have entered the Synagogue in Ephesus...

I think you are short sighted to think that there were no Jews and Greeks who spoke Aramaic in these places. Read the Book of Acts very carefully...and you will see then all over the place in the Greek lands.

Peace,
Chuck
