The Original Language of the New Testament

We have always been taught that the "New Testament" was originally written in Greek.  However, there is a growing movement that suggests that it was originally written in Hebrew and/or Aramaic (the same language as the "Old Testament"). So, which is right? Here is an interesting article by Jeff Benner on the subject: Archaeological Evidence …

Restored English Translation of Genesis: Chapter 11

Here is my Restored English Translation (RET) of the 10th chapter of the Book of Genesis (Hebrew: Beresheet).  As usual, it contains the Hebrew names and a glossary of them after the chapter.  As I don't believe in the Aleph/Tavs any more, I have included a separate section at the very end showing where the Aleph/Tavs appear …

Dinosaurs: Extinct or Not?

You’ve got your 66 books total, 39 in the Old Testament (24 by the Jewish counting) …

Restored English Translation of Genesis: Chapter 9

Here is my Restored English Translation (RET) of Beresheet (Genesis) chapter 9.  As usual, it contains the Hebrew names and the Aleph Tavs (although I now doubt them).  A glossary of the Hebrew names used can be found at the end. This chapter contains the infamous incident of Noah getting drunk, and Ham spotting him.  This incident …
