Dear Brother Jonathan, I welcome you back,
In summary, you wrote;
{True, but many of the people in both countries speak French and Spanish in addition to Arabic, which is what we claim about Greek in the time of Jesus.}
{Fair enough, but don't you acknowledge that many people speak English today alongside their mother tongue because it is the trade language of our day?}
{They had ot forgotten their language, that is not what we say, rather they also may have spoken Greek since that was the common language of commerce.}
{We don't say they did, we say they also spoke in Greek for purposes of commerce with Gentiles.}
{The authors of the gospels wanted them to be read by the widest cross section of the population. The common language was Greek, since it was spoken by both educated Jews and Gentiles.}

We in our world, have Religion and materialism, Yin and Yang.
One is Sematic based the other Non-Sematic.
You say that when the Jews delt with materialistic worldly trades, they spoke a non-Sematic language. I do not doubt that one bit mate.
Although we are not talking about selling kosher foods, we are talking about The Allah of Moses and Abraham.
Just to finish the circle of Yin and Yang, let's look at today, right now, 70% of Jews speak English in Israel. America controls/protects Israel and has a very strong influenceing power on the actions and polotics of Israel. This is fact.
Do you think for one second that the Jews will leave their Hebrew scripture and prayers to start praying in English? Ofcourse not, not in a Thousand Years, or Even Three Thousand Years if we Keep History in Mind.
They will talk to Clinton, the Tourists, the Meat markets, etc, etc, etc, in English, but bring me one real Jew that will pray or accept their Talmud in a language other than Hebrew/Sematic.
This is one of the loose ends of Christianity. This is another one of the things preachers and commentators try to convince the Christians in believing, I heard a preacher say 'they spoke Hebrew but they wrote Greak' this is the excuse used, Allah gave us the Power to Precieve, let us not waiste our Gift.
To know Truth from False, Before and After Jesus, the Jews wrote about Allah and Prayed to Allah (Elih) in Hebrew. Visit Here in English speaking cyberspace, the Jews speak Hebrew, the sister language of Arabic: http://members.aol.com/jewfaq/glossary.htm
No offence brother Jonathan, but I see you and other Christians deny alot of things, but this is clear, and if you stiilll don't believe the Bible has been changed, then your denying Jews exist.
Peace and Blessings,
Your Brother in Islam: Mohamed
