Loved this analysis of language and the power of even the letters. I have heard that the older the language or the closer to the root languages, like Sanskrit, the more powerful the words and even pronouncing those words are.

You lost me will have to read again..but I have listened to people who preach..and one said that DNA is god...so I am hoping when i die, Jesus will be very kind..appear like a handsome older brother so I will not be afraid..and explain as much as I can comprehend in ,my little pea brain in a way I can understand....I know it's asking a lot of him...

Jesus gets a lot asked of him. He is used to it. He has all the time in the world.

Anyway, do try reading again. Meditating on the word of God always requires chewing it over to extract the full goodness. I will explain further if I can.

great read, great research. question: shouldn't '....the two languages, Hebrew in the Old Testament written left to right and Greek....' rather be '....Hebrew in the Old Testament written right to left....' ?

Happy Easter to you and yours.

Thank you mary-lou, well spotted. Sloppy final proof read on my part. :(

I seem to have got it right in the main text but not in the summary which now reads:

"In the Bible We have the two languages, Hebrew in the Old Testament written right to left and Greek in the New Testament written left to right."

That should now make sense. Thanks again, such alerts are always welcome.

And happy Easter to you and yours too.

We could also say this Jesus existed, just as Mohammed existed, and Mao existed and all were seen as the prophets or gods.

In the beginning the books were edited by human beings and often unscrupulous ones.
