Was the New Testament Originally Greek?
In an effort to deny the importance of Yahweh’s great Name, there are those who mistakenly contend that the New Testament was originally written in Greek. They assume that because the sources from which our New Testament is translated are Greek, that the names Yahweh and Yahshua as revealed in the Hebrew are missing in the New Testament and therefore unnecessary. Is this true? Here are some facts revealing why the Hebrew manuscripts of the New Testament are not extant, though clearly evident, and why worship today has strayed from the “faith once delivered.”

Many scholars have come to believe that the so called, "New Testament" was originally penned in the Hebrew or Aramaic Language.

Many base an assertion that Yahweh and Yahshua are false on the assumption that Messiah and his disciples spoke Greek rather than Aramaic. If you are having problems with this, you may find the following informative:

(1) If you will go to Josephus’ Antiquities 20:11:2, you will find that he confesses he had problems pronouncing the Greek language. It should be obvious that in that area Aramaic was still a prominent language during that time period, and it was spoken by Yahshua and His followers.

(2) In the earlier translations of the Bible at Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8, the translators substituted the word “Jesus” rather than Joshua, showing they recognized the name to be the same. Some of the newer translations have corrected this obvious error. It should be noted that in many languages the “J” is pronounced as “Y,” making Joshua = Yahshua.

(3) In addition to these three witnesses, the Papyrus from Elephantine in Egypt written to Bagohi, governor of Judah near the time of Nehemiah, spoke of the “temple of Yahu” (abbreviated form of Yahweh) at Elephantine (The 1916 Archaeology And The Bible, by George A. Barton, p. 388)

"Did Christ use the Divine Name and titles? We are confident that he did. Christ spake in Hebrew (Acts 26:14), and there is strong evidence to suggest that the original gospels were written in that tongue. The fact that Christ spoke in Hebrew is evidenced by the words that are still retained in the text." (see Mark 5:41; 7:34, etc.). [Basically from Unger's Bible Dictionary]

In what language did Yahshua speak and reveal His Name To Shaul? (Acts 26:14,15)

What was the language of the Apostles
and what language did Shaul speak? (Acts 21:40, 22:2, 1:19)

Note: Aceldama is a Hebrew word, identifying "Hebrew" as the language of the apostles. The characters (letters) used to spell the full form of the Messiah's Name would not be Jesus in English, but Joshua (Yahweh-shua). Therefore the Messiah did not say, "I am Jesus.", but "I am Yahshua." (Acts 22:8, 26:14)
