Willamena Yes it is possible that the worker was doing the writing. But when they say the child is writing, if it is the worker they are LIARS, also they are tring to deceive! Or do you know many adults that write in crayons. I don't know one. I don't want to go back and look but I will after but have you also not gone from it was writen in Greek to now Aramaic?

9 10ths This is getting funny so in hong kong Mcdonald is called Mcdonald What was your point? Oh that ronald and Donald Funny that is why I don't come on hear to often it gets funny.
Just that names don't always translate exactly. Ronald becomes Donald, Jeff becomes Jefu, Giovanni Caboto becomes John Cabot, etc., etc. It's common for names to be changed by translation.

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?
Now you are merely being asinine.
The children do not even know one another

The children do not even know one another.

The one who can speak German and English has a German mother and an American father.
The one who can speak Spanish and English has a Mexican father and an American mother.

The fact is that if these children can learn two languages before they even start school, then schooling is not a requirement for learning more than one language.

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.
Fair enough.
However, now to the second part of my inquiry:
Does Jesus really care that he is being called Jesus?

i myself have many many different nicknames.
Does the nickname being used change me in some way?
I think not.

Mestemia I'm sorry you misunderstood me My answer was that the Parents of the one Spainish Child his or her parents are Spainish correct? As the others the same. I didnot mean that they knew each other. Simply that the reason they spoke these is because the parents do. Now show me the Child with the Spanish parents that speaks GREEK with out learning it. Most people in this world speak the same as their parents. TRUE?

It's my understanding that the New Testament was first published written in Greek.

For some reason I thought Acts 21 took place in Ephasus, but now I see that it was Jerusalem, so nevermind me.

Show me ANYONE who can speak ANY language without learning it..

Your assumption is that they because they did not go to school, they could not speak more than one language.
I have shown this to be a faulty assumption.

Now if your claim is that there was noone to to teach them this other language, you will be extremely hard pressed to do so.

willamena you lost me. No I went back and you mentioned the wrong place. You were correcting yourself. I have no problem with mistakes. You notice I made no mention. Acts 21 has the mention of many places that they went. I didnot mention Jerusalem you and the Scriptures did as you showed Acts 21:17 But Jerusalem is mentioned a lot in Acts but what does it have to do with the Greek now Aramaic tongue?
