Well .. in the first place, I NEVER said that the New Testament was written in Hebrew. However, since Matthew and John were writing their Gospels directly to the Jews, I would suspect they used Hebrew (or Arabic) instead of Greek. Mark wrote his book in Latin for the Romans. Luke wrote his book to the Greeks - in Greek.

Well .. in the Amplified Bible, Hebrews 9:27 says: "And just as it is appointed for [all] men once to die, and after that the [certain] judgment.

This scripture tells me that reincarnation is just not a reality.

I believe they wrote in Aramaic, which is what they all spoke in Jesus's circle.
