Does the name Alexander mean anything to you? He conquered the known world west of India. Thanks to him the entire world from what is now France (Marseilles, oriiginally a Greek colony) to Afghanistan spoke Greek. The Septuagint was the first written form of the New Testament because that is the language the world spoke and wrote. Latin is not the mother of tongues, Greek is.
@@ΗκαλήΧαμογελαστή Huh? How did you get the idea that I thought AG went west? The article was about a Greek city in Afghanistan in which AG spent 10 years.
@@westerngent Because you said “Thanks to HIM the entire world from what is now France to Afghanistan spoke Greek” when he didn’t influence France in any way
@@ΗκαλήΧαμογελαστή That is nuts. Of course he did. Without AG Greece would not be the founder of western civilization as we know it, IMO. The Latin West in its entirety is merely derivative of Greek culture. AG spread Greek culture to the entire world making every corner of it immeasurably more powerful than mere city states.
You only mentioned Greeks living on the main land. Greek colonists founded around a couple hundred colonies/city states along the entire coast of both Anatolia and the Black Sea centuries before Alexander defeated the Persian.
Left out was that the wide spread of Greek speakers in and around the whole area gave many biblical writers the works of Homer, Aristotle and et al, which many readily copied and made into their own stories. Even the Romans copied much.
@NUHERITAGE-THE-DALAI-RASTA Not only Asia Minor and the Black Sea as you mentioned but also Sicily, modern South Italy, South France and Iberia (modern day Spain) too. Not only before the era of Alexander, but even before the Greco-Persian wars. In fact all that took place during the 7th and 6th century BC.
The Greek language is the most complete language in the world. All languages have borrowed Greek words in huge amounts. So why wonder if Testements are written in Greek.
Don’t be parochial! Greek is no more “perfect” a vehicle for the gospel than Coptic or Aramaic. As the lingua franca of the Roman Οἰκουμένη, Greek was a shoo-in as the language of the NT.

God did not just picked the right time to come when the known world spoke Greek. He created the circumstances for this to happen because Greek is a language that can explain deep meanings in detail which was essential for theological scriptures. The coming of Alexander was prophesied by Daniel so it was in God's plan. Alexander is often depicted with a ram's horns as it was in the prophecy.
League of Corinth actually was called PANHELENIC LEAGUE ... In your maps you don't have Epirus region in Greek Empire.. Alexander's mother Olympias was from Epirus and they participated in Campaign..
Alexander, the great was truly remarkable. But what they didn't teach you in school is that along with his conquests he is famous for something else. When Alexander conquered to people, he gave them captive a choice, either join my army or die. Most picked the former as new recruits one of the things they had to learn his language. They had to know the grammar. The reason for this is great communication between troops and commanders. As he went around conquering the known world at that time, he did two things named many cities, Alexandria, and more important he spread his language that this genius created throughout the known world. It was called KOINE Greek or common Greek. The beauty of this language was that it only had one interpretation. The grammar was so precise that it became the greatest language for communication of thought in his day. By no accident, this language became the language of the New Testament, therefore, based on the grammar, there's only one interpretation. Learn the grammar and you are way ahead of everybody else.
Interesting! Those aren't things I've heard before. Could you point me in the direction of a source for either that information about Alexander or about Koine. I've known it was a simplified trade language but haven't ever heard someone talk about its precision. I appreciate you sharing!

Koine Greek is a simplification of the Attic dialect, i.e. the language of Athens. It was developed by various scholars of the time, for easy learning by non-Greeks. Koine Greek remained a rich language that could convey high and difficult meanings.

400 years under the Romans,400 years of slavery to the ottomans the Greeks never changed their beliefs and practices. And they are the only ones who celebrated the beginning of the wars for their beliefs and freedom ,and not the end of them.
Interesting, I hate studying koine Greek, but I love the results. A wonderful language, if I had a time machine I would bring back a recording of Greek in 1st century Holy Land. That would give Greek scholars something to study! ❤❤❤
The known world was a lot bigger than what is shown at that point. Unfortunately my map wasn't :). I was as zoomed out as I could get and had to settle for it.
Most pple dont use documented history to work out if Alexander the Great was Slavic (nth Macedonian) or Greek. The historical timeline for Alexander the Great was, Birth 356 BC to Death in 323BC. SO for the Slavic people history notes they arrived in the area north of Greece in the 6th Century AD, so IF U DO THE MATHS, there is approx' 930yrs between the earliest known Slavs in the area of old Yugoslavia, Russia, North Macedonia. ALEXANDER THE GREAT spoke Greek and so did the area all around todays city of Thessaloniki near where he grew up. He was taught by Aristotle the famous philosopher, in Greek. Aristotle and Alexander were both from the same town in northern Greece. This does not mean the Great Slavic people dont have equivalent achievements just look at the size of Russia.
Parthena (f) or parhtenos (m) in Greek means virgin nowadays but in the past young girls were called parthenes (f plural) because they ought to have remained virgins until marriage and not because they necessarily were. So in Greek the word parthenes was also used to refer to young girls whether they actually were virgins or not even though the word itself meant just that

You might want to dig deeper into who wrote what and when. The earliest surviving copies of the Old Testament are in Greek not Hebrew. Based on their cultural references and idioms it has been argued by linguists that the original Old Testament was in fact written in Greek not Hebrew. It’s complicated, but if you look into it you’ll find it even more complicated than you could have imagined. Having said that one’s faith in Christ can only be strengthened by truth for God is truth and Christ is King.
No matter how much anyone tries, there is no chance to twist historic facts. Macedonians are by culture and language Greek. Studying history is vital and enlightening. Try it.

I appreciate the feedback! For what it's worth, I tend to be pretty obsessed with source-checking. Is there something specific that made you think I only consulted one text for this?

Let me help you with the context: 1. All this clip can be summarized (and presented) in one phrase: Why the New Testament was written in Greek? > Because that was the prevalent language back then (in Canaan) The same question goes to: What did the Israelites (or Judeans) speak? And the answer is - pretty much- the language of the conquering Empire…. It was Aramaic, it was Persian to some extent, it was Greek, it was Latin, it was Arabic, it was Turkish, and so on. 2. But Hebrew didn’t cease to exist (as opposed to some mentions up). Hebrew was an Official language, and used for Legal deeds, Prayers, and so on, only that the little guy in the street would have not mastered it Now let me help you with your Hebrew: 3. Jesus is the Greek term for the name Yeshu. His given name was probably Yeshua, meaning Salvation (and not Yehoshua, as for the original Israelite leader, who was also born as Yeshua, but then they inserted god’s title in his name). Early Greeks called Christ Yesus, then later Greek language transformed all Y into J. Hope this helps 4. The virgin name in your clip is misspelled. You mentioned the virgin to be a damsel, and in Hebrew it is עלמה (not as you presented). But I think they really meant a virgin (not just a young lady, even though at those days they would have correlated), to show that Christ was born with no sin (ie no flash relationship). Hope this helps
Synagogue comes from the terms syn- which means "together" and agogue which means "to be raised or educated" (cf pedagogy). It referred to the spiritual home-schooling of Jews.
Iesous is the only word we have referred to in the Greek-Roman literature about these Jewish versions of the popular savior stories. So, Jesus is a Roman word and has nothing to do with the Greek stories about some Jewish guy of whom we do not even know if he was named Yoshuah or Yeshuah or something else. This guy left us nothing, as if he had never existed. Only stories about Iesous in 30 different versions were made up, and only a handful made it into a collection. Bob from Idaho thinks that that Roman name in the English translation of 30 Greek stories, of which he can't recite even one, is it.
The apocryphal books are not inspired by the Holy Spirit: they are essentially distinct from the 66 Books of the Holy Bible, wherein man is never extolled...always in need of saving grace. Those who personally know God know that the apocrypha is NOT His Word. Without Jn.3:3, the distinction will not be clear.
There are no "NT authors," for God is the sole Author: the Bible is His Word. Matthew, John et al merely conveyed God's love Letter to man. Jesus stated this truth in His Gospel.
@@stevioa9The books of Enoch are not part of the Apocrypha (which is a strictly Protestant term for this collection) and when someone says the book of Enoch what they really mean is 1 Enoch.

@ I am biblically nearly ignorant. Where does he expand on the concept of retribution being a good thing and in what context. I tend to be of the stop killing and sort peace out persuasion, myself.
@JohnCox-ut3cv do you atleast know what "eye for an eye" even means? It means the punishment should fit the crime and not be excessive or cruel. Jesus expands on it by saying that when someone slaps you in the face to insult you you respond with an insult by turning the other cheek, because "eye for an eye" means to respond in kind to how people treat you and don't be cruel by responding with more force than recieved.
@ To me an eye for an eye means two people blinded or at least partially so. Healing, especially mental healing is far more difficult but leads to enlightenment not darkness.
Ha! Honestly that's a question more people should probably ask themselves when learning things on the internet. Is there anything in particular that you had questions about?
@@TheThinkingBeliever Yes. Why do you not state historical facts as they are? Macedonians were different from what you call back then Athenians, Spartans... Why when Phillip and Alexandar state that they are Macedonians you say they united greek cities, when is clear that they were different cultures? Secondly most of the territory of what you know as today greece are occupied territories and most of the people were "Hellenized" since the occupation. For example in Epirus lived what we now call Vlahs (Aromans) and their land was divided betwine albanians and greeks. Macedonia was divided first between serbia, greece and Bulgaria, then between albania, bugaria, and greece. Macedonian people in the same manner as Palestinians are now, were ethnically cleansed, and dislocated since 1928 because this territory was ethically clean except for the Jews that primarily were living on the peninsulas (not counting the Ottomans obviously after the occupation of the Balkan). Thrace is divided between greece and Bulgaria so the native culture is adopted by these two "cultures". So, my question is: Do you do extended research before you present in a video something as a historical fact?
@@mirjanaobednikovska7661 One of the biggest challenges any time I make a video is trying to decide how much detail to go into, especially when the information that's relevant could fill libraries. I also didn't go into detail about how Greek city states differed from modern political entities or on the historical sources that inform us about the time, and I left out huge amounts of information on Alexander himself and how his conquest went. I try to be thoughtful about all of those decisions and to find ways to simplify information without misrepresenting. That said, I'm definitely still a work in progress as I figure out what to include and what to leave out and I appreciate your feedback.
@@iggo45 of course. My argument is that liars are changing the text. That they didn't speak the same language it's a fact.

Are you insane? Latin was the language and Englishmen were burned alive for daring to translate it into English, when Greeks could at all times read it in their own language
I love your simple and clear presentation of these things. I have a few concerns though: 1. The Masoretic text was not "the original hebrew." We do not have that and when the Dead Sea Scrolls were compared to the Masoretic text as well as the Septuagint, the Masoretic text DIVERGED even more than the Septuagint did. 2. We do not know for sure what texts were more important than others ORIGINALLY. 3. When you speak of "what God did" or "how God think," you are referring to doctrine or dogma. That is OK, of course (we all have our beliefs). But that is not the same as what the texts of the Bible say or what we know because of it. The Bible is like a puzzle that we try and understand. It can be assembled and understood in a variety of ways (that is one reason why there are so many denominations of Christianity and Judaism). It is OK to "understand it" the way you do by saying "I am inspired by the Scripture to think/guess that God meant X or Y." Of course, when dogma becomes CREED, it becomes a chain around honest people's neck: i.e. "you must conclude X or Y about things you do not know, otherwise you are condemned." This just leads to anxiety (for honest people) and lying for the simple. If we "should know them by their fruit" then the fruit of turning dogma into creed is destruction! Lovely presentation, though!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and the considerate way you presented it! I especially appreciate you catching me on the slip-up with regard to the Masoretic text. I hope you stick around for future videos! I deeply appreciate folks trying to keep me honest and accurate.

Jesus had an appointment with the Greeks: Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus. Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. Jesus knew that the hour of glory had come when tAndrew an Philip told him that the Greeks were there because in the parable, the seed is Jesus and the fertile soil is the Greeks. In other instances Jesus explained that if the seed falls on the path or among rocks etc. the seed will not flourish into many fruits. So Jesus had to find a fertile soil. Kyrie eleison ☦️
Actually, the real reason that the New Testament is written in Greek is because Greek is the language of culture and civilisation and spoken by the Roman aristocracy which controlled the destiny of Rome. Latin Greek was always spoken by the army, administration, trades and lower classes of people, i.e. Plebeians and Praetorians who maintained the old order of Roman religions. Equestrians and Senators mostly spoke Aegean Greek with a few differences in words and inflections, such as the Roman word for Homer, which was "The Maion" and not "Homer". Roman Greek was very old fashioned Greek and tended to be reflective of the Greek spoken 3 or 400 years before, along with that old fashioned pronunciation. That's the reason that the New Testaments were written in Greek and not Latin.
For what it's worth, not even the most "conservative" individuals would claim that Moses wrote any more than the first five books of the Old Testament.
God of course, knew that salvation was going to the Gentile and the surrounding area around the Israel largely spoke Greek. Due to the fact that Alexander the Great’s Empire previously was centered in that area.
Lets say language is minds software..would you prefer a software with the largest number of words and conceptions? I bet you would.That language is the Greek ,ancient or modern. So id like to encourage people of literature science and faith,those who are interested to level up their mental skills,to adopt and use Greek language as their processing tool. I strongly rely on the non Greek people that will be amazed of how etymology of a word its self can provide answers to essential matters of life,while language its self teaches ethics and defines perfectly any new concept or idea.
The very fact that the name of Christ Yeshua was changed to Jesus proves it was not originally written in Greek. Paul may have written in Greek but he was a Jew as well.
"Le Christ hébreu" by Hebrew and Ancient Greek scholar Claude Tresmontant contains almost 500 pages of examples of "bad Greek" from the New Testament, which becomes good Hebrew when translated back into Hebrew. He is convinced that the gospels were originally written in Hebrew, very soon after the crucifixion, but that no copy in Hebrew has been found owing to the almost total destruction of the Holy Land by the Romans. The Greek translations were made later.
The thinking believer?! “God” in his unlimited thinking ability, writes a book in multiple languages, multiple forms (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant etc), with multiple ambiguous interpretations to a select number of people in the Middle East. Thinking Believer sounds a bit oxymoronic.
@@stevioa9 that makes no sense; to find this “Christ within you”, you have to think about it. I guess that’s the benefit of religion, it allows people to feel good about their lives without thinking too much.
Interesting! Do I understand correctly that you'd find it more compelling for God to have written a book in one time and one place and one language? The fact that we have a collection of writings that span hundreds of years, many authors, multiple languages, different genres, etc. I think is so much more powerful than the thought of a single person at one time translating golden plates or receiving revelation from an angel, etc. As for multiple interpretations--when you picture something that is truly holy scripture, it seems like you're imagining that it would be immune to human misinterpretation (or even intentional misreprepresentation). How do you picture that happening? What makes you think that would be an obvious requirement for something to be a true communication from God? You seem to think it's crazy that this could be God's plan in working this out through this particular method, but so far his track record is pretty good. Christianity is the largest religion in the world, has spread across the entire globe, and has lasted for 2,000 years. So whatever his alternatives for holy scripture, his chosen path seems to be working pretty well for him. Would you disagree?

@@chryloulou Er, ah…actually Jesus (Ἰησοῦς) is a transliteration of the Hebrew/Aramaic יהושוע (Yehoshua) and the short version ישוע (Yeshua). Both are essentially the same name as Joshua and mean “God is Salvation.” This is referenced in Matthew 1: 21. “…you shall name Him Jesus, for he will save His people from their sins.”
Where would you find Septuagint? Nowhere. What language was the original Gospel of Jesus? Not Greek nor Hebrew but Aramaic. The old testament was not Aramaic, but Hebrew

You only mentioned Greeks living on the main land. Greek colonists founded around a couple hundred colonies/city states along the entire coast of both Anatolia and the Black Sea centuries before Alexander defeated the Persian.
Left out was that the wide spread of Greek speakers in and around the whole area gave many biblical writers the works of Homer, Aristotle and et al, which many readily copied and made into their own stories. Even the Romans copied much.

God did not just picked the right time to come when the known world spoke Greek. He created the circumstances for this to happen because Greek is a language that can explain deep meanings in detail which was essential for theological scriptures. The coming of Alexander was prophesied by Daniel so it was in God's plan. Alexander is often depicted with a ram's horns as it was in the prophecy.
I agree 100%
There were also many Greek towns surrounding Judea. Look up dekapolis.
Macedonia is Greek, don't let the Slavs fool you. They came to the region 1000 years after Alexander the Great.
League of Corinth actually was called PANHELENIC LEAGUE ... In your maps you don't have Epirus region in Greek Empire.. Alexander's mother Olympias was from Epirus and they participated in Campaign..
wauu do they made this great mistake?
Love the insight from your videos. Carry on brother. I will be waiting for the next.
Alexander, the great was truly remarkable. But what they didn't teach you in school is that along with his conquests he is famous for something else. When Alexander conquered to people, he gave them captive a choice, either join my army or die. Most picked the former as new recruits one of the things they had to learn his language. They had to know the grammar. The reason for this is great communication between troops and commanders. As he went around conquering the known world at that time, he did two things named many cities, Alexandria, and more important he spread his language that this genius created throughout the known world. It was called KOINE Greek or common Greek. The beauty of this language was that it only had one interpretation. The grammar was so precise that it became the greatest language for communication of thought in his day. By no accident, this language became the language of the New Testament, therefore, based on the grammar, there's only one interpretation. Learn the grammar and you are way ahead of everybody else.
Interesting! Those aren't things I've heard before. Could you point me in the direction of a source for either that information about Alexander or about Koine. I've known it was a simplified trade language but haven't ever heard someone talk about its precision.
I appreciate you sharing!

Jesus spoke Aramaic ,he probably also knew Greek.
The Apostles and Evangelists mainly Greek, as of course all Greek cities.
Koine Greek is a simplification of the Attic dialect, i.e. the language of Athens. It was developed by various scholars of the time, for easy learning by non-Greeks.
Koine Greek remained a rich language that could convey high and difficult meanings.

The New Testament was written in Greek, because it was the common language of the people, Koini Greek. Aramaic was also commonly used.
Most pple dont use documented history to work out if Alexander the Great was Slavic (nth Macedonian) or Greek. The historical timeline for Alexander the Great was, Birth 356 BC to Death in 323BC. SO for the Slavic people history notes they arrived in the area north of Greece in the 6th Century AD, so IF U DO THE MATHS, there is approx' 930yrs between the earliest known Slavs in the area of old Yugoslavia, Russia, North Macedonia. ALEXANDER THE GREAT spoke Greek and so did the area all around todays city of Thessaloniki near where he grew up. He was taught by Aristotle the famous philosopher, in Greek. Aristotle and Alexander were both from the same town in northern Greece. This does not mean the Great Slavic people dont have equivalent achievements just look at the size of Russia.
That's obviously logical because Greeks were mathematicians and can count 👍
Parthena (f) or parhtenos (m) in Greek means virgin nowadays but in the past young girls were called parthenes (f plural) because they ought to have remained virgins until marriage and not because they necessarily were. So in Greek the word parthenes was also used to refer to young girls whether they actually were virgins or not even though the word itself meant just that

You might want to dig deeper into who wrote what and when.
The earliest surviving copies of the Old Testament are in Greek not Hebrew.
Based on their cultural references and idioms it has been argued by linguists that the original Old Testament was in fact written in Greek not Hebrew.
It’s complicated, but if you look into it you’ll find it even more complicated than you could have imagined.
Having said that one’s faith in Christ can only be strengthened by truth for God is truth and Christ is King.
No matter how much anyone tries, there is no chance to twist historic facts. Macedonians are by culture and language Greek.
Studying history is vital and enlightening. Try it.

Interesting video! If you're going to present opinions on these matters, please refer to more than one text, or you run the risk of bias. You owe it to your viewers to take your info from scholars in the field.
I appreciate the feedback! For what it's worth, I tend to be pretty obsessed with source-checking. Is there something specific that made you think I only consulted one text for this?
Was there anything I presented that raised red flags for you?
Thanks for your thoughts! I'm always trying to do better.
Let me help you with the context:
1. All this clip can be summarized (and presented) in one phrase:
Why the New Testament was written in Greek? > Because that was the prevalent language back then (in Canaan)
The same question goes to: What did the Israelites (or Judeans) speak? And the answer is - pretty much- the language of the conquering Empire…. It was Aramaic, it was Persian to some extent, it was Greek, it was Latin, it was Arabic, it was Turkish, and so on.
2. But Hebrew didn’t cease to exist (as opposed to some mentions up). Hebrew was an Official language, and used for Legal deeds, Prayers, and so on, only that the little guy in the street would have not mastered it
Now let me help you with your Hebrew:
3. Jesus is the Greek term for the name Yeshu. His given name was probably Yeshua, meaning Salvation (and not Yehoshua, as for the original Israelite leader, who was also born as Yeshua, but then they inserted god’s title in his name). Early Greeks called Christ Yesus, then later Greek language transformed all Y into J.
Hope this helps
4. The virgin name in your clip is misspelled. You mentioned the virgin to be a damsel, and in Hebrew it is עלמה (not as you presented). But I think they really meant a virgin (not just a young lady, even though at those days they would have correlated), to show that Christ was born with no sin (ie no flash relationship).
Hope this helps
Synagogue comes from the terms syn- which means "together" and agogue which means "to be raised or educated" (cf pedagogy).
It referred to the spiritual home-schooling of Jews.
Iesous is the only word we have referred to in the Greek-Roman literature about these Jewish versions of the popular savior stories. So, Jesus is a Roman word and has nothing to do with the Greek stories about some Jewish guy of whom we do not even know if he was named Yoshuah or Yeshuah or something else. This guy left us nothing, as if he had never existed. Only stories about Iesous in 30 different versions were made up, and only a handful made it into a collection. Bob from Idaho thinks that that Roman name in the English translation of 30 Greek stories, of which he can't recite even one, is it.
But do the NT authors ever quote the OT apocryphal books?
I think it's James who refers to Enoch.
The apocryphal books are not inspired by the Holy Spirit: they are essentially distinct from the 66 Books of the Holy Bible, wherein man is never extolled...always in need of saving grace. Those who personally know God know that the apocrypha is NOT His Word. Without Jn.3:3, the distinction will not be clear.
There are no "NT authors," for God is the sole Author: the Bible is His Word. Matthew, John et al merely conveyed God's love Letter to man. Jesus stated this truth in His Gospel.
They are referenced in a couple places, but if you put them side by side they are not always direct quotes.
@@stevioa9The books of Enoch are not part of the Apocrypha (which is a strictly Protestant term for this collection) and when someone says the book of Enoch what they really mean is 1 Enoch.

@JohnCox-ut3cv do you atleast know what "eye for an eye" even means? It means the punishment should fit the crime and not be excessive or cruel. Jesus expands on it by saying that when someone slaps you in the face to insult you you respond with an insult by turning the other cheek, because "eye for an eye" means to respond in kind to how people treat you and don't be cruel by responding with more force than recieved.
@ To me an eye for an eye means two people blinded or at least partially so. Healing, especially mental healing is far more difficult but leads to enlightenment not darkness.

I wonder if anything you have in the video is true
Ha! Honestly that's a question more people should probably ask themselves when learning things on the internet. Is there anything in particular that you had questions about?
@@TheThinkingBeliever Yes. Why do you not state historical facts as they are? Macedonians were different from what you call back then Athenians, Spartans... Why when Phillip and Alexandar state that they are Macedonians you say they united greek cities, when is clear that they were different cultures? Secondly most of the territory of what you know as today greece are occupied territories and most of the people were "Hellenized" since the occupation. For example in Epirus lived what we now call Vlahs (Aromans) and their land was divided betwine albanians and greeks. Macedonia was divided first between serbia, greece and Bulgaria, then between albania, bugaria, and greece. Macedonian people in the same manner as Palestinians are now, were ethnically cleansed, and dislocated since 1928 because this territory was ethically clean except for the Jews that primarily were living on the peninsulas (not counting the Ottomans obviously after the occupation of the Balkan). Thrace is divided between greece and Bulgaria so the native culture is adopted by these two "cultures". So, my question is: Do you do extended research before you present in a video something as a historical fact?
@@mirjanaobednikovska7661 One of the biggest challenges any time I make a video is trying to decide how much detail to go into, especially when the information that's relevant could fill libraries.

Correct St Paul? Nice. Carry on they may correct even higher!! They do know better you say!!
Are you insane? Latin was the language and Englishmen were burned alive for daring to translate it into English, when Greeks could at all times read it in their own language
Well done!
Thank you very much. this is so helpful. solved my puzzles.
I love your simple and clear presentation of these things. I have a few concerns though:
1. The Masoretic text was not "the original hebrew." We do not have that and when the Dead Sea Scrolls were compared to the Masoretic text as well as the Septuagint, the Masoretic text DIVERGED even more than the Septuagint did.
2. We do not know for sure what texts were more important than others ORIGINALLY.
3. When you speak of "what God did" or "how God think," you are referring to doctrine or dogma. That is OK, of course (we all have our beliefs). But that is not the same as what the texts of the Bible say or what we know because of it.
The Bible is like a puzzle that we try and understand. It can be assembled and understood in a variety of ways (that is one reason why there are so many denominations of Christianity and Judaism). It is OK to "understand it" the way you do by saying "I am inspired by the Scripture to think/guess that God meant X or Y."
Of course, when dogma becomes CREED, it becomes a chain around honest people's neck: i.e. "you must conclude X or Y about things you do not know, otherwise you are condemned." This just leads to anxiety (for honest people) and lying for the simple. If we "should know them by their fruit" then the fruit of turning dogma into creed is destruction!
Lovely presentation, though!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and the considerate way you presented it! I especially appreciate you catching me on the slip-up with regard to the Masoretic text.
I hope you stick around for future videos! I deeply appreciate folks trying to keep me honest and accurate.

Macs spoke Greek out of their Dorian heritage and origin, as proven by sourses, while Archelaos ( their king at a time), the forner of greek koini ( up to then there are greek dialects ( ionian, aeolian, dorian, attica) put his friend Evripides ( while a quest in his court - he has spent the rest of his life there, not a foreign lang speajer though), to write and performed a couple just newborn tragedies in Aiges ( yr name in greek) his capital city ( as 4 different sources of the time state, one in latin), which means should you be there you would be of a need of a translator or of a dictionary, should you have attended the theater performances.

Jesus had an appointment with the Greeks:
Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.
Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.
Jesus knew that the hour of glory had come when tAndrew an Philip told him that the Greeks were there because in the parable, the seed is Jesus and the fertile soil is the Greeks. In other instances Jesus explained that if the seed falls on the path or among rocks etc. the seed will not flourish into many fruits. So Jesus had to find a fertile soil.

Actually, the real reason that the New Testament is written in Greek is because Greek is the language of culture and civilisation and spoken by the Roman aristocracy which controlled the destiny of Rome. Latin Greek was always spoken by the army, administration, trades and lower classes of people, i.e. Plebeians and Praetorians who maintained the old order of Roman religions. Equestrians and Senators mostly spoke Aegean Greek with a few differences in words and inflections, such as the Roman word for Homer, which was "The Maion" and not "Homer". Roman Greek was very old fashioned Greek and tended to be reflective of the Greek spoken 3 or 400 years before, along with that old fashioned pronunciation. That's the reason that the New Testaments were written in Greek and not Latin.
I mean Purgatory is best attested in 2 Maccabees, but thankfully to it's not the only source.
"Attested"? No. Imagined, perhaps.
@@stevioa9 As I said, 2 Macc is not the only source for the validity of the dogma. Look at 1 Cor 3:11-15.
So its true then that the Old Testament was not written by Moses
For what it's worth, not even the most "conservative" individuals would claim that Moses wrote any more than the first five books of the Old Testament.
So Paul wrote letters to Greek churches in Aramaic? Give me a break.
No, Paul wrote his letters in Greek and that is what the creator said in his video. Please rewatch it.
@@alicebokka9002 correct. IN GREEK. For this reason many times has asistance by Titos who know better Greek according to Hyeronymus and Erasmus
God of course, knew that salvation was going to the Gentile and the surrounding area around the Israel largely spoke Greek. Due to the fact that Alexander the Great’s Empire previously was centered in that area.
Lets say language is minds software..would you prefer a software with the largest number of words and conceptions?
I bet you would.That language is the Greek ,ancient or modern. So id like to encourage people of literature science and faith,those who are interested to level up their mental skills,to adopt and use Greek language as their processing tool.
I strongly rely on the non Greek people that will be amazed of how etymology of a word its self can provide answers to essential matters of life,while language its self teaches ethics and defines perfectly any new concept or idea.
The very fact that the name of Christ Yeshua was changed to Jesus proves it was not originally written in Greek. Paul may have written in Greek but he was a Jew as well.
"Le Christ hébreu" by Hebrew and Ancient Greek scholar Claude Tresmontant contains almost 500 pages of examples of "bad Greek" from the New Testament, which becomes good Hebrew when translated back into Hebrew. He is convinced that the gospels were originally written in Hebrew, very soon after the crucifixion, but that no copy in Hebrew has been found owing to the almost total destruction of the Holy Land by the Romans. The Greek translations were made later.
Are you saved by Jesus because he died for you or are you saved by Jesus teachings?
“The fullness of time” is what you referred to in concluding that God used this developed, descriptive language to spread His Good News!
The thinking believer?! “God” in his unlimited thinking ability, writes a book in multiple languages, multiple forms (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant etc), with multiple ambiguous interpretations to a select number of people in the Middle East. Thinking Believer sounds a bit oxymoronic.
A belief is just a thought you keep thinking. The trick is to realise you are not your thoughts. Then you find the Christ within you.
@@stevioa9 that makes no sense; to find this “Christ within you”, you have to think about it. I guess that’s the benefit of religion, it allows people to feel good about their lives without thinking too much.
Interesting! Do I understand correctly that you'd find it more compelling for God to have written a book in one time and one place and one language?
The fact that we have a collection of writings that span hundreds of years, many authors, multiple languages, different genres, etc. I think is so much more powerful than the thought of a single person at one time translating golden plates or receiving revelation from an angel, etc.
As for multiple interpretations--when you picture something that is truly holy scripture, it seems like you're imagining that it would be immune to human misinterpretation (or even intentional misreprepresentation). How do you picture that happening? What makes you think that would be an obvious requirement for something to be a true communication from God?
You seem to think it's crazy that this could be God's plan in working this out through this particular method, but so far his track record is pretty good. Christianity is the largest religion in the world, has spread across the entire globe, and has lasted for 2,000 years. So whatever his alternatives for holy scripture, his chosen path seems to be working pretty well for him. Would you disagree?
@@TheThinkingBeliever this is typical apologetics God creates all of mankind but his only true “word” is the Christian Bible. His only true believers are certain denominations of Christians. If you were born Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Mormon etc. then unfortunately, you fall to man’s folly and evil ways. Religion has a powerful way of scrambling people’s brains.
Well said!! Congratulations!!
Because Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were 'writing' many many years the events that were supposed to have happened and also because the were most likely illiterate and the writing was done by scribes who could write.
Καλά εσύ είσαι τελείως στον κόσμο σου! Και είσαι αστοιχειοτος και βλάσφημος! Υπάρχει και η Πεντηκοστή ( αλλά αυτά δεν είναι για αγευστους και ορθολογιστές)
Well if you believe the events and the writers identification, at least Luke as a doctor would have had some litteracy and Matthew as a tax collector would have had some way of
reading tax records. But I understand your point of view.
Pronounced EE-SOOS NOT YAYSOOS
Thanks for looking out! I'm no Greek speaker.
@@TheThinkingBeliever The pronunciation the guy said is in modern Greek. In ancient Greek it was most probably something like EASOOS. Since η was used as long e before iotakismos.
if the christian faith was made up... the orthodox are the closest to its root apparently.
Orthodoxy is the Roman adoption of Christianity. Catholicism is a branch of Orthodoxy.
@@perseusarkouda ITS CALLED GREEK ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY FOR A REASON .
“How did it come to dominate ‘Palestine’ in the 1st C?”
‘It’ was not called ‘Palestine’ in the 1st C.
The Romans introduced the name ‘Palestine’ after they committed genocide against the Jews. Palestina was the Roman name for the Philistines, Israel’s ancient enemies. The Romans thought it would be a ‘nice touch’ to add insult to genocide.
Accuracy matters.

Yep. For the sake of simplicity and time in the video I didn't go into the distinctions. My biggest challenge in making videos like this is knowing what to cut and what not to. If I had known how many people would get hung up on that (at least based on the comments section) I would've probably added it. 🤷 Now I know for next time.

By that stupid line the Australians the Americans ext are English at nationality cause they adopted the english language as ancient macedonians adopted the Attic (Athens) language doesnt make them "Greeks" my father went to a greek school at 1960 then before that modern hysterical potion about the greek scholar books wrote the truth the the ancient macedonians was Hellenized barbarian Thracian tribe .... There for there a lot ancient macedonian words like Mieza , Migdonia, sarissa Arabeus ext ext that they arent hellenic they dont have etymological meaning at the greek language
That analogy does not make any sense whatsoever on behalf the ancient macedonians spread the Greek language and customs into the known world, The ancient macedonians not only spoke the Hellenic language but also had Greek heritage and as imperialist of the ancient world the Greek language became the spoken language in the Mediterranean and into the far east. Hence the new testament was wriiten in koine Greek from the ancient Macedonians exporting the language they spoke in antiquity.

Mazedonia was Greece and Philipps education was greek because he was Greek. Do not spread fake informations and propaganda. And bei the way the name Jesus-Ιησούς comes from the greek word ίαση, that means healing. In other words the one who heals, check your vocabulary...
@@chryloulou Er, ah…actually
Jesus (Ἰησοῦς) is a transliteration of the Hebrew/Aramaic יהושוע (Yehoshua) and the short version ישוע (Yeshua).
Both are essentially the same name as Joshua and mean
“God is Salvation.” This is referenced in Matthew 1: 21.
“…you shall name Him Jesus, for he will save His people from their sins.”
Where would you find Septuagint? Nowhere.
What language was the original Gospel of Jesus? Not Greek nor Hebrew but Aramaic.
The old testament was not Aramaic, but Hebrew
Wrong
