Bible Question:
Why is the New Testement translated in Greek? The People of Greece were pagan. How do know that some of their pagan doctrine is not mixed into New Testement scripture. Also, I NEED to know if Roman Catholics are Christians because I dont see how they are. |
Bible Answer: Hello, As for your first concerns about the Greek language, Tim pretty much answered your question. It boils down to the fact that Koine Greek was the common language of the land, and that the Greek is an excellent language to study and communicate in due to it's exactness and detailedness in meaning. As for the question about Roman Catholics, remember it is not for us to decide whether or not a person is saved, but rather that we are to preach the gospel to every nation. The best thing that we can do is to keep the words of John the Beloved in our minds. "Beloved, do not believe every spirit that comes, but test the spirits to see if whether or not they are of God." 1 John 3:1 Also keep in mind Jesus' words from the Sermon on the Mount. "By their fruits you shall know them." Matthew 7:16 Jesusman |
