Bible Note: Hi Edwin, While you didn't directly answer my question, I suppose in a round-about way you did. Since you hold to the divine inspiration of the autographs only, and you declare the Greek New Testament to be a translation, with the possible exception of Luke and Acts, you must not, then, believe that the majority of the Greek New Testament is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. That being the case, I don't really know that there is anything else to discuss. Even if I did believe that the "original" New Testament was written in Aramaic, and I don't, it's not and Aramaic NT that was received by the early church as Scripture. If you were to produce an ancient Aramaic NT tomorrow, I would be interested in it the same as I am in the Peshitta, but it would not have the benefit of canonization, and therefore, I would not accept its authority. The fact of the matter is that Paul' letters contain what scholars say is some of the finest Greek writing and thought extant. That would be completely inconsistant with the notion that these letters were composed in Hebrew, and translated into Greek. Regardless, my interest here is to explore and discuss the writings of the Bible as presented in the Canon. Love in Christ, Mark |
