Re: Was The NT.Originally Written In Hebrew ?
I've looked into this a little bit, not much though. I'll look more someday. 
I definitely have decided that being aware of Hebrew customs and culture during the 1st century helps a lot with understanding the NT. I also think there are Hebrew idioms in the NT, whether or not they were written in Hebrew and translated, or simply written in Greek by Hebrews, I don't know.
It's all interesting stuff.

Yes it is interesting,because our culture is far removed from that of the first century we misread things sometimes.

Re: Was The NT.Originally Written In Hebrew ?
There are folks who believe the original writings which make up our New Testament were originally written in Aramaic.
I don't know how many, if any, believe our New Testament was originally written in Hebrew. Some of these may be the folks who insist on Jewish names, Jewish customs, and (selected) law observance for Christians.
Jesus and some of His early followers came from an area called "Galilee of the Gentiles" because of the strong Gentile influence there. They were looked down upon as "rednecks" or "hillbillies" or "bumpkins" culturally and as "semi-heathen" or "second class Jews" by the educated and religious folks in Jerusalem.

I know some who do believe it was written in Hebrew originally. They're not the sort who insist on Jewish names, customs and law observance for Christians either (although some of them do observe the feasts).

Re: Was The NT.Originally Written In Hebrew ?
The NT was written to a largely greek speaking audience including gentiles and hellenized Jews.
Perhaps Matthew was written in both Hebrew and Greek or just Hebrew and then translated

Prax you are correct. It was most likely in Hebrew then translated.

Some think that the Gospel of John was originally written in Aramaic/Hebrew also. Both Matthew and John are thought to have been originally written in Aramaic/Hebrew. Other New Testament books are usually thought to have been written in Koine' Greek.
