Bible Note: I am so very sorry. I should have said, "Shlub." My bad. Please please forgive. :-) You mentioned Norman Willis. I am not familure with his argument. Since you are familure with David Stern and Hebrew roots (judging from your posts) I really think you would like the book "Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus" by David Bivin and Roy Blizzard. If you should read it (short book) let me know. It isn't the only book that makes my point, but it is the book that lays out the argument clearly with all the effidence on all three sides (some say Jesus spoke Greek the majority of the time).
