An Aramaic original to the book of Hebrews?
#5
:

Baptism/Enlightenment

The early Greek Church spoke of Baptism as being "enlighenment" those being Baptised "Enlightened", this is seen to be taught by Justin Martyr in about 140 A.D. and to this day the Greek Church speaks of it in these terms.

Hebrews 6:4 "But those are not able who one time descended unto Baptism and tasted of the Heavenly gift and recieved the Spirit of Holiness." (Literal translation from the Khabouris Codex)

Hebrews 6:4 "It's impossible for those once enlightened, who moreover having tasted of the heavenly gift, and partakers of the Holy Spirit,..." (Literal translation from the Greek version)

Hebrews 10:32 "Remember therefore the former days, those in which you recieved Baptism, and endured great conflict of sufferings, reproach and afflictions." (Literal translation from the Khabouris Codex)

Hebrews 10:32 "Remember moreover the former days in which being enlightened, you endured much conflict of sufferings." (Literal translation from the Greek version)


Quote:The hebrew word for enlightment and baptize are very much alike

Distazo...can you show us the words and how close they look alike?
