Believed by whom? I still think that the consensus is that the earliest version was written in Greek.

Not really! Not if you believe many of the early fathers. I think Prots like to believe the earliest version is in Greek. Maybe some Catholic scholars too, but many Catholic Scholars and historians look to these fathers of the church(Like Augustine0 and trust them. But then again Prots don't really trust the fathers or anything but the bible alone. Too bad for them the bible depended on the Fathers!LOL!
