Hi willamena, I type slow and my spelling is bad so it takes me a long time to write. I am sorry not to have answered you by name before. I do not claim that no one spoke Greek that would by foolish. Just as foolish for some one to claim that ignorant fishers that never went to school, all their learning was from the synagogue. To state that they could NOT even speak their own tongue but could read and right Greek is foolish. Let me tell you of what happened to me and my wife. We adopted a child in a Spainish speaking country. They have commercials, Your child needs food and cloths and they need school. They will write you a letter. To my surprize I got a letter from a poor South American child that had not gone to school writing in perfect English with crayons. I'm from NYC and stupid is not my middle name.People that have not gone to school do NOT read and write other languages.

I disagree.
My nephew can read write and speak both English and Spanish quite clearly at age 4.
He does not start school till this fall.
One of my new neighbors, I recently moved, has a daughter that speaks reads and writes German and English and she does not school until fall of NEXT year.

The biblical Jesus never existed, I'm sure there were many other "Jesuses" roaming around Jerusalem 2k years ago.

In Hong Kong, Ronald McDonald is called "Donald McDonald". In Japanese, my first name has an extra syllable.

Mestemia hi, I am sorry about not addressing you directly but as I said to others here I am very slow at this. I think i answered a few of your things but not by name sorry. I have not even read all of this. I have two grandkids that spent the night and now I have a house full but let me try and read and I'll return.

as to 1175 that is 1175 from 2000 years ago. I know I come off as an ***! My wife tells me all the time. But I don't mean to sound that way but How can you make that statment? Did your Jesus walk the earth in the year 1175? Just to not argue OK it was around in 1175. That is still 1140 or so after the fact.

My apologies for my impatience.

It just seemed as though I was being ignored.
Now that I know I am not, I will be much more patient in awaiting your responses.

Don't bother, then. You aren't making enough sense for me to follow your drift. Maybe someone else has more patience than I do.

One, he is not "my" jesus.
Two, you seem to be upset over the use of the name Jesus for Jesus.
four, you have as yet explained why you are upset/concerned/bothered by it.
five, if you want other to be accurate, you should be accurate also.
six, it bothers me not that you come off as an arse at times.
seven, I too can come off as arse at times.
eight, I skipped number three, oops.

Midnight you are right. My name is in the original Alexandros, and Spainish Alejandro, would you like it in Chineese? It still means leader of men.

9 10ths You can see how far back I am. Yes there are other possibilities this is true and I might be totally mistaken! This is possible! But is it also possible that you are mistaken?

I too sponsored a South American child at one time. When I got letters from the child, it was made very clear that the letters were put down on paper by a volunteer helper, not the child herself. Perhaps that was in case for your South American child, too.

Is your argument that Paul was asked if he spoke Greek because he had been addressing the crowd in Aramaic? The Jewish community had been in Greece for more than 200 years, so it is unlikely that they did not know Greek as well as Aramaic, and probably more languages as well. Acts 21:40 says that when he addressed them in Aramaic they calmed down, which would indicate that this is so.

Who are you assuming is uneducated in this scene (Acts 21)?

Meso lets not get foollish Are the parents of the Spainish -English speaking 4 year old Spainish -English? And the German- English the same? Why come up with such a foolish statement?

Done here.
midnight What now we are to Aramaic. When Greek can not be backed they change to Aramaic. Funny. Next it will be what Latin?
No, I didn't say Greek wasn't correct.

Jesus spoke Aramaic.
The New Testament was written in Greek.

Just like if you wrote a book about Christopher Columbus, you'd write it in English, even though Columbus didn't speak English, you'd report conversation in English because you were writing in English, and you'd probably call him Christopher Columbus, even though his name was Cristoforo Colombo. Then two thousand years from now, some crank would come along and insist that everybody call him Cristobal Colon, because that was his "real" name. Said crank might even insist that your book was originally written in Spanish.

Mestemia thank you for you imput . Here is my point for all that as ACTS 4:12 There is ONLY ONE NAME. I feel that most people are deceived. I want no one to be deceived so I go here and there in the hope that all will know the truth. That is the meaning to this. But to one and all that took out of their life to spend time here with me I thank you and may you be blessed by this in His time.
