Really, I haven't? You "know"? I guess in the narcissism of atheism, you think yourself able to judge. Just because you are an atheist does not mean that others are. Just because you've been indoctrinated and inoculated from the gospel doesn't mean that others have. As far as you caring what I believe, I would be quite surprised if you gave a whip about anyone but yourself.I read the Bible and you haven't. I have studied ancient history and you haven't. I see no reason to care what you believe, it won't make any difference.
I don't need to read and write in Greek as long as I can read lessons from those who can.How and why would a fisherman in Galilee whose native language is Aramaic be capable of writing in Greek? Can you write in Greek? Can simple-minded Mark Francis write in Greek?
No, of course not. It would take a minimum of a year of study to write a Biblical book in intelligible Greek for anyone to do this today, when books and language learning programs are available.
Well first off, as per usual, there is no evidence, no proof and no verification of ANY of your assumptions. Secondly, your claims of no only his career path but, his language is also not proven. Thirdly, you have offered NOTHING as proof of ANY scripture being written in Greek, Hebrew nor any other language, it's all just your claim.How and why would a fisherman in Galilee whose native language is Aramaic be capable of writing in Greek?

I guess those "Bible scholars" have never talked with me, ever went to a church I attended nor were a part of any denomination I was in then. Considering that a raving lunatic is calling me a "dummy" doesn't faze me at all.All Bible scholars know that the New Testament was written in Greek. There are manuscripts dating back to the fourth century. Everyone knows that the language spoken by Jews in what is now Israel was Aramaic. If you don't know that, you are the dummy.
But you are a dummy if you say that the New Testament was not written in Greek. That is why every Seminary offers courses in Greek. Ask Wikipedia, ask any AI program what language the NT was written in and they will ALL tell you that they were written in Greek.I guess those "Bible scholars" have never talked with me, ever went to a church I attended nor were a part of any denomination I was in then.

Well heavens, if AI says something on the Internet then it HAS to be true, huh?But you are a dummy if you say that the New Testament was not written in Greek.

Every historian knows that Jews at the time of Jesus spoke Aramaic, a Semitic language in the same language family as Arabic and Hebrew. When Mel Gibson wrote his nearly unwatchable Jesus movie, "The Passion of the Christ", he had the actors speak Aramaic.
There is no reason to believe that any fisherman in Galilee in Jesus' time was literate. There is no evidence that Jesus was literate. either. There is zero evidence that the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were written by men with those names. Nowhere in the Gospels does any of the authors reveal his name.
