Bible Note: Hello Edwin, Would Paul have naturally written in Aramaic? That is a non sequitur based on your presuppositions. The apostle was well-versed in Greek language and culture. We know this from his use of the Greek poet while preaching in Athens (Acts 17). If he knows Greek, there is nothing to prevent writing his epistles to the common-use language of the empire--Greek. I know there is a difference between Classical and Koine Greek. I acknowledge Hebrew idioms to be in the Greek text, but that is hardly conclusive. Nor are your examples which are given from the gospels and would deal almost exclusively with Jews. Again, we would expect Hebrew idioms in the Greek text because the setting would warrant it. You are making sweeping claims based on circumstantial evidence. I await your response to Tim Moran concerning the hard evidence. Steve |
