Hi Mark. You said. "Do you believe that the Greek New Testament was inspired by the Holy Spirit, and as such, is an accurate record of what happened, and what Jesus said, and taught?" With the possible exception of Luke and Acts, I believe that all the other NT, autographs were, as I have allready said written in Aramaic, and that the Greek version of these is a translation. I have several versions of the Bible, some of them I consider to be better than others in rendering into English what God wrote in Hebrew, and Aramic, however, I would without hesitation say that all the different versions that I posses including the Watchtower one to be the Word of God. I have been told that there are thoes who have been converted as a result of what the Holy Spirit has said to them when that person has only had the JW version, or should I say perversion to hand. Our God is in no way limited, and is able to use any version in any language of His Word to bring about Salvation. I feel that this topic has just about been exausted, If you wish to discuss it any further, then I suggest you let me have your phone number, as I am able to phone you 24/7 at no cost for up to 70 mins. The Lord bless you Steve. Edwin. |

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 |
