The Original Language of the New Testament
Questions arise frequently regarding the relative importance of the Syriac, or Aramaic, and of Greek as the language of the New Testament. Professor Sakae Kubo here discusses this somewhat technical question in the light of recent scholarship.
Tempted Like As We Are
If Christ did not have inherent sinful propensities such as you and I have, who are the descendants of Adam, how can we say that He was tempted in all points like as we are, as is stated in Hebrews 4:15? Was His temptation really like ours? If not, can He sympathize with our temptations and help us when He has never gone through them?
