Aramaic Primacy Questions
#16
Chuck, no one knows who wrote Hebrews. From the time of the early church period and the ante Nicene era the issue of the authorship of Hebrews is unresolved . We also do not know to where the exact location of this epistle was sent so either side can not claim a head start (so to speak ) ; and maybe, as a side thing, we should not be taking sides on this issue. We should at least try to be on the same team here. This can and should be a team effort when it comes this Biblical issue.

I am somewhat familiar with Clement's quote, and, to my knowledge he did arrive at the conclusion that the letter of Hebrews that was extant for that time(back then ) was the Greek Hebrews and admitted that the Greek flavor and style of Hebrews was different and unique to the other Greek letters floating around at the time. It is good to know the writings of the early church writers or early church authorities but we can not take everything they say to the bank. They were not privy to the resources or technology that we have today. Even if they did, we know that on a number of accounts they were not always accurate. Maybe, God willing, in the near future. I can elaborate more on Hebrews with some specifics if this is allowable on this forum. I was just trying to share the almost unanimous consensus of scholars on the style of the author's text (of Hebrews ) . I realize that some get tired hearing that phrase about - "most scholars say that the NT was written in Greek, " and so on. But I was trying to be a little more specific or trying to zero in on one example. I was just trying to say (on the same note more-less) that something should be taken into account when the percentage of Greek scholars or commentators who say that the Greek epistle to Hebrews is almost just like High Greek that, if it is a translation then we have a extremely rare translator indeed. Every single in depth commentary that I have come across which has a section on the style of the writing (of Hebrews ) says that it is unmistakably high Greek. Just take it for what it is worth, Chuck. Anyway, God willing, I will bring forward some examples. Take care. Yeshua loves all us with a passion. Amen ][/b]
