Hence the point that the Hebrew was a liturgical language.
The Dead Sea Scrolls were liturgical not the Newspaper.
Your doctor isn't taking into consideration that Judea was under Greek speaking Gentile occupation for HUNDREDS of years. Book of Daniel starts out in Hebrew but was finished in Chaldean. Book of
Acts 2 has Diaspora Judeans speaking every single language of the Roman Empire. The New Testament entirely written in Greek. Not one, let me say it again, not one shred of New Testament manuscript written in Aramaic or Hebrew. So, I guess we don't have the original words of Jesus, the Apostles or Paul? The so called oroginal name of Jesus was lost and as you teach, all we have is some banged up transliteration?
