Jesus spoke in Aramaic 'It is almost universally accepted that Jesus and His disciples spoke in Aramaic. The theory that the New Testament was written in Hebrew is without basis, though I believe that I have heard some suggest that some of the sources may have been in Aramaic. The simple fact is that the Jews lost their facility in Hebrew. That is why the Old Testament had to be translated into the Greek language (this translation is known as the Septuagint). 'You will remember that when Jesus cried out from the cross, "Eli, Eli, LAMA, SABACHTHANI"(Matthew 27:46-47), He was citing the Hebrew text of Psalm 22:1, and no one there seemed to understand it. They thought Jesus was calling for Elijah. How could this fellow’s (Norman Willis') theory* hold up if no one at the cross could understand the Hebrew words Jesus spoke? (Hebrew and Aramaic are related languages, but not the same.)' ____________________ *Norman Willis' theory. Norman Willis claims that the NT may have been written in Hebrew instead of Greek.

'Most of the Old Testament quotations in the New Testament are taken from the Greek Bible (the Septuagint)' (page 198 Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1995). ____________________ 'Jesus and His Apostles quoted the Greek Septuagint - of this there can be no question. In order to quote the Greek Septuagint, one must speak Greek. (...) 'Thus, we can say with certainty, in the light of over 5000 Greek witnesses to the New Testament, and based upon historical evidence, that it is an absolute impossibility that the New Testament was written in any language other than Greek.'

"The people of first century Palestine, including Jesus, spoke the Aramaic language. However, early Christian writings were written entirely in Greek, the universal language of the Roman Empire." (www.twopaths.com/faq_kjv.htm) ____________________ Tim Moran wrote: ‘The entire argument against the primacy of the Greek manuscripts seems to be: ‘We have no hard evidence, but the Hebrew COULD have been written first! :-) ‘I know there is some historical evidence that Matthew may have written something in Hebrew, but we simply don't have any documentary evidence to back up this theory.’ ____________________ (Source for the following: www.angelfire.com/la/jlush/dangersHRM.html) 'Some of the errors in the HRM [Hebrew Roots Movement], or ANY, for that matter, who classify themselves Messianic Jews today are: '1. They call for Christians to recognize extra-biblical Jewish books, which are supposed to give fuller understanding of the Greek New Testament. In fact some go so far as to proclaim the Hebrew Scriptures are the authentic scriptures, not the Greek text of the KJV Bible. 'The New Testament was given in its original, inspired from the Hand of God, in GREEK, not Hebrew. Most of the extra-biblical Hebrew "scriptures" that the HRM is seeking to foist onto the Christian Church are ancient writings, often with occult and mystical sources, traditional material which are NOT Scripture at all. They are extra-biblical sources of knowledge. 'The Bible was written in 3 languages: '1. Hebrew was the Language of the Old Testament. '2. Aramaic was the language of the far east until the time of Alexander the Great. '3. Greek was the New Testament language and the International language at the time of Christ. 'But yet the Hebrew Roots Movement claims falsely that the original Gospels were written in Hebrew, or possibly Aramaic, and that the Greek New Testament is a mere translation and in some cases a mis-translation of the Hebrew or Aramaic originals. They have even gone so far (some of them) to conclude that Paul's writings where he addressed the heresy they teach, were re-written by Rome and are not authentic. Of course they cannot prove this, but it is enough to cast doubt in their adherents and justify themselves in their error.'

A Hebrew Gospel of Matthew? 'Jehovah’s Witnesses falsely claim the gospel of Matthew was originally written in Hebrew. In doing so, JW’s openly trash the reliability of the Bible. 'YHWH "Yahweh" (The Tetragrammaton) Jehovah’s Witnesses are guilty of adding to the word of God by adding the divine name YHWH in the New Testament where it is never found in the original Greek manuscripts, and blamed the Bible as being corrupted. Rather than trashing their false doctrine, they trash the Bible! Their central premise is that Matthew was written in Hebrew but this is entirely false. 'The Wycliffe Bible commentary: Matthew, Pfeiffer, C. F. 'Composition and Date. The great frequency of citations and allusions to Matthew found in the Didache, Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius, Justin Martyr, and others attests its early composition and widespread use. The literary connections of this Gospel must be considered in its relations to the other Synoptics, and also to the statement of Papias that "Matthew wrote the words in the Hebrew dialect, and each one interpreted as he could" (Eusebius Ecclesiastical History 3.39). Many have explained Papias’ statement as referring to an Aramaic original from which our Greek Gospel is a translation. Yet our Greek text does not bear the marks of a translation, and the absence of any trace of an Aramaic original casts grave doubts upon this hypothesis.' 'The fathers, from Papias to Eusebius, who perpetuated the old tradition regarding the Hebrew Gospel, themselves rest their assertion on tradition, i. e., on reports that they had heard. And none of these fathers, not even Papias himself, was able to name a single person who had seen - not to say handled - this alleged Hebrew Matthew. The reports of the fathers regarding a Hebrew "Gospel" must be considered as hearsay, unsupported by a tangible fact. and contradicted by all the probabilities involved as well as by several uncontested facts.' ____________________ To read more go to: www.bible.ca/jw-YHWH-hebrew-matthew.htm |

126 | tongues? | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 177481 | ||
‘Glossolalia in other religions ‘Aside from Christians, certain religious groups also have been observed to practice some form of theopneustic glossolalia. ‘Glossolalia (“speaking in tongues”) is evident in the renowned ancient Oracle of Delphi, whereby a priestess of the god Apollo (called a sibyl) speaks in strange utterances, supposedly through the spirit of Apollo in her, but possibly related to high levels of natural gas present in spring waters beneath the temple. ‘Certain Gnostic magical texts from the Roman period have written on them nonsense syllables like "t t t t t t t t n n n n n n n n n d d d d d d d..." etc. It is believed that these may be transliterations of the sorts of sounds made during glossolalia. The Coptic Gospel of the Egyptians also features a hymn of (mostly) nonsense syllables which is thought to be an early example of Christian glossolalia. ‘In the 19th century, Spiritism was developed into a religion of its own thanks to the work of Allan Kardec and the phenomenon was seen as one of the self-evident manifestations of Spirits. Spiritists argued that some cases were actually cases of Xenoglossia (when one speaks in a language unknown to him). However, the importance attributed to it, as well as its frequency, has since decreased significantly. Present-day spiritists regard the phenomenon pointless, as it does not convey any intelligible message to those present. ‘Glossolalia has also been observed in shamanism and the Voodoo religion of Haiti; it can often be brought on by the ingestion of hallucinogenic drugs or entheogens such as Psilocybe mushrooms.’ (Source: See the article Glossolalia at http://en.wikipedia.org) |

"not under law but under grace" ____________________ "Christians are no longer under the rule of the Mosaic law. This truth is stated in no uncertain terms..." ____________________ NASB Galatians 4:21 Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law? AMPLIFIED Galatians 4:21 Tell me, you who are bent on being under the Law, will you listen to what the Law [really] says? 'A great cause of confusion today concerns the place of the Mosaic law in the New Testament believer’s life. While this short study cannot begin to cover all the issues involved, it is my hope that it will shed some light and remove some of the confusion. 'One of the profound emphases of the New Testament, especially the epistles of Paul, is that Christians are no longer under the rule of the Mosaic law. This truth is stated in no uncertain terms and in various ways (see Rom. 6:14; 7:1-14; Gal. 3:10-13, 24-25; 4:21; 5:1, 13; 2 Cor. 3:7-18), but in spite of this, there have always been those who insist that the Mosaic Law, at least the Ten Commandments, are still in force for the Christian. (...) 'It seems exceedingly strange that Bible-believing Christians should advocate such a view, when the New Testament makes it abundantly clear that the believer in Christ is not any longer under the Mosaic law in its entirety… Indeed after having been delivered from the law, to deliberately place ourselves once again under its [control] is said to be “falling from grace.” 'But let it be immediately understood that this does not mean to say that we should necessarily behave in a manner just opposite to what the Mosaic law commands—that we should kill, steal, bear false witness, etc. Long before the law was given through Moses, it was utterly wrong to do such evil things. . .2' To read more go to: The Mosaic Law: Its Function and Purpose in the New Testament by: J.
