Quoted from Cogito, Q1. If the brother of Jesus wrote the epistle of James, how did he learn to write and in Greek?? A1. To me it seems the easiest answer is the great possibility that one of the Apostles laid their hands on James and blessed him with the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit. Q2. Were not Jesus and his family of the poorest peasant class? Literacy at that time was very limited and even if one could read a few words, writing was a limited skill, necessitating scribes. A2. Yes, indeed. Jesus was born of a relatively low class family but it's still quite possible they may have taught their kids to read and write in Hebrew. About Greek, I've no idea. I've always been taught that this, the great literacy and prose of the Bible, is one of the proofs of Its inspiration. There are so many reasons to believe that it really is the "God-breathed Word of God." You've just stumbled upoon one more good reason to believe. Have you ever read the books of either the OT or the NT and wondered at their marvelous prose and well put-together poems, arguments, discussions, all of the stories? It is a wonderful thing to behold. The guidance from God but through the minds and the hands of these men, showing their style and preferences as much as possible and YET showing a tremendous unity throughout the whole. I'm certain you'll get other responses with good explanations but that's me and mine. God bless you in thinking up a good question. Inquisitor |

Personally, I've always thought (along with millions of others) that IF we had the original autograph copies of the NT or OT, they would become objects of worship. There is a great tendancy with mankind to worship something we can see and grasp like a cross around our neck or a piece of wood purchased in Israel, hoping it's from Jesus' cross. I'm convinced God would never endorse the convenience of an autograph copy to survive and be worshipped this way. I'm also convinced we have all of God's Word as He intended. It's been burned and abused throughout these two thousand years but the Bible still endures with God's Protection and Providence. That's enough for me; how about you? God bless, Inquisitor |

Inquisitor, I couldn't have said it any better. Well said. Josh McDowell's Evidence That Demands A Verdict does an excellent job of covering this subject. In Him, lionheart |
