I know it, if you are keeping count.
-
I know. Hence the confusion over the word 'pure'/'virgin'.

It seems like there are lots of people out there who don't know the name of the current vice president or the secretary of state. Ignorance is rampant. I'm sure even more don't know that the Bible is a translation or even that multiple versions exist.

That makes two of us. But perfection has never been achieved by anyone anyway so big deal.

The only people who don't know that are those who believe Jesus to have been fair-haired and blue-eyed.

I knew that. Which always made me wonder when people decided that God spoke in ye olde English. >_>

The canonization is a bad engineering experiment. Bring the Roman government your books and we will canonize them. Oh what do you mean they weren't written in greek, You will need to rewrite them in 7 days to be accepted. Oh, what you can't, or you won't? lol, give us what you've got. Wow, it almost looks like Matthew, and Mark were written in greek to start with. Whats with Luke not translating the names? Where did the Gospel of thomas and mary go? Well, well, just call them the Q source. I think we may kill all those who don't agree with what we've come up with. Who dis-agrees? 14 of the 68 books were originally in Greek, the others in hebrew, aramiac and syriac. Any rebinical scholars here?

The languages that it was written in were Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. It's good to know, though, that whenever a translation of the Bible was made, it was made according to the original Greek manuscripts, not based on earlier translations.

I find that if people don't know what they don't know - it can be rather dangerous. The question is "How many Christians DO know that the bible is written mostly in Hebrew and Greek". After 2 years in private Biblical Hebrew lessons, I now know what I don't know. I also can detect lies much better. :)

Dozens, at least.
