If I told this about paragraph to any minister of the NOI, Mormon (not the kids in the white shirts), Rabbi, Imam, Atheist, Roman Catholic, or Orthodox apologist. They would be all over it, because your little post teaches what they believe. That the New Testament is a bad copy of an original which we no longer have.

Reminds me… an older gent sealed in the Mormon temple told me that Nauvoo or maybe some other made-up Mormon word is Hebrew. After I contested, he angrily stated, “It is the original Adamic tongue. We tell you gentiles that it is hebrew.”

I didn't say that. Keep your laugh to yourself. "Translating" is not only from manuscript to manuscript, but in this case I'm obviously saying it is from Jesus spoken words to written Greek.
You are a pretty aggressive with your answer, ending your post with a mocking. Did I offend you or something?

Same thing goes for those who believe in an original Hebrew/Aramaic New Testament. There absolutely no Hebrew/Aramaic manuscripts predating our original Greek manuscripts.

Well actually you did.

I'd love to hear you explain this to Rabbi Tovia Singer.

I explained it right there. I see plenty of evidences that they spoke Aramaic in Palestine, and yes, the Hebrew Scriptures was read in the synagogues, which then was explained in Aramaic.
Well, it wasn't what I meant. What I meant was that Jesus spoke in Aramaic those words, and the Gospel writer translated it into Greek to write it on the Greek autograph. I'm not saying the Gospel was originally written in Aramaic (as some say).

Well, an example is " Deuteronomy 32:43". We didn't have the variant reading containing the words quoted in the NT in Hebrew, but we had it the LXX. And then the DSS revealed that there was indeed a Hebrew variant reading that contained those words.
Do you use the LXX for the O.T. for your reading, study, and preaching? What are you thoughts?

Some of Christ's statements make little or no sense unless He was quoting the Greek scriptures. His argument against the Pharisees that they worship God in vain is directly from the Greek, not the Hebrew, as is His "perfected praise" quotation of the Psalm. These are not examples of the Gospel writer translating Aramaic into Greek, but are solid evidences that Jesus Himself knew the Greek version and used it in His preaching and apologetics.
