One of my favorite German signs is Rauchen Verboten.
In English it is No Smoking, but a literal translation is Smoking Is Forbidden.
It is just so German. Not "no", per se, but "forbidden".
BTW: I am not anti-German, I just marvel at the "my way or the highway" aspects of their remarkably expressive language. What other language, in a single word, can match "schadenfreude"?

Verboten means excluded from use or mention; forbidden, as by law; prohibited.

No one will ever truly know the answer to that question. There are some that will say yes but since the bible was translated from many different languages and picked over by humans, no one can truly say. Don't forget that you can take any words and twist them to mean what you want them to mean no matter what they originally meant when they were said. hugs
