editor-surveyor,

Do you believe all of the NT books were written in Hebrew? I believe it is possible one or two of the gospels were written in Hebrew (we’ll probably never know in this lifetime). But even if that were true, the fact that the Apostles, or their first century translators used the Septuagint for 6 out of 7 verses would indicate an incredibly high regard for LXX.

The two books I’ve read on the possibility of Hebrew gospels are:

I believe what Paul wrote.

The oracles of God were committed to Israel.

The destruction of the gospel of the kingdom was clearly committed to Constantine, and he took his commission from Satan seriously. He also failed to obliterate the gospel of Matthew; it survived his mission.

The traces of his crimes also survived in the Greek versions of the gospels and epistles, in the form of clumsy cultural and translational errors that are scattered throughout them, to be found by those reading for understanding rather than to support churchianity.

Re this, I heard someone make a point that I thought was good: when folks invoke hypothetical Hebrew originals, they're trying to argue for something that they can't get the text we have to support.

For me, it's a marker (like unto the usual rants about Constantine and the Nicene Council) that indicates I should keep an eye out for "quirkiness".

The two books I’ve read on the possibility of Hebrew gospels are:

Eusebius in his time wrote that Matthew had or might have had a Hebrew original. That's it.
