When I was a student at Biola, a 4 year Christian university, the Bible professors and theologians spoke of reading the NT in the original Greek. For many years, this sounded cool. I couldn't do it, but it was cool, nonetheless.
In the past few years, though, something occurred to me. Jesus wasn't Greek. Neither did he speak Greek. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John weren't Greek. Neither did they speak Greek. Peter, Paul, James and Jude weren't Greek. Neither did they speak Greek. So how could an authentic NT have been originally written in Greek?

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
