Is Jesus bilingual? Did He write the Old Testament? Did the Catholics write the New Testament? Is the Pope?

Answer 1

Jesus turned water into wine, healed the blind, raised the dead, walked on the water, read the minds of his enemies; wouldn't you agree that He most likely could speak any language that He wanted to speak????

Answer 2

+ Is Jesus bilingual?

While Jesus was human on Earth, he spoke Aramaic to the people of the Holy Land. He could also read the Hebrew scrolls of the Holy Scripture in the synagogues and Temple. And because he partially grew up in Egypt, he probably could even been speak Greek, the common language of the Roman Empire which including the Holy Land and Egypt.

As God the Son, Jesus speaks and understands all languages.

+ Did He write the Old Testament?

Not personally. But as God, he inspired human writers to write the books of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament).

+ Did the Catholics write the New Testament?

Kind of.

The same people in the same Church who wrote the New Testament documents up until about 100 C.E. called themselves Catholic starting from 107 C.E. when the Greek term "Katholikos" (meaning universal) appears in the Letter of Saint Ignatius of Antioch to the Smyrnaeans:

"Wherever the bishop appear, there let the multitude be; even as wherever Christ Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church."

We do not know how long they had been using the term "Catholic" before it was included in this letter.

+ Is the Pope?

Yes, the Pope is.

+ With love in Christ.

Answer 3

Catholics are the ones that composed the bible that is a fact. They decided want scriptures are inspired, what books belong in the bible & which ones shouldn't go in the bible. Catholics are christians, they are the ones that started christianity. they don't use the bible alone like other christian religions, they trust tradition. The gospel of John was written by John. The gospel of Luke & the acts of the apostles was written by Luke. The wrote these things for us. You should look up the early church fathers what they wrote and the Letters of St. Paul. I believe in the authority of the pope & that Peter was the first pope. I think St. Paul was the first bishop. There is so much iinformation out there, because everyone was writing it down. I think all of the other christian religions didn't even start til the 19th century, 1800 years later. I'm gonna stick with the people that were there, & rthe people that were taught directly by the people that were there not somebody who thinks they can translate a book better 1800 years later. The apostle's spent 3 years with Jesus I think they would know better than you or me or anyone else.

Answer 4

Jesus may or may not have been bilingual - possibly speaking Hebrew and Aramaic, and maybe some Greek or Persian. We really don't know.

He did not write any part of the Old Testament (or the New Testament, for that matter).

The New Testament was written by several different people. Paul, for example, is said to have written several books. John the Divine wrote the Book of Revelation. Several other people wrote the others. Jesus never wrote anything. He is quoted, and written about, but he didn't write it.

Answer 5

Jesus, I don't believe was bilingual, but he could relate to all people. I believe that Jesus is part of the New Testament, so he could not have written it. The New Testament is a compilation of writings by those who were around Jesus. Some of these authors/disciples may have started the Catholic Church. The pope is supposed to be the position that was initiated by St. Peter, I believe.

Answer 6

Jesus may even have been trilingual. He spoke Aramaic and Hebrew and in all probability, in common with those around him, Greek. The Old Testament is God breathed, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, but Jesus is the Word and so you may draw your own conclusions. When the New Testament was written nobody had ever heard of Catholics. Most of it was, in fact, written by Jewish believers. Is the Pope? Well, I suppose that he is still with us, or it would have been all over the news.

Answer 7

1. He may well have been. He spoke Aramaic, he may have spoken Greek which was the defacto language of the eastern part of the Roman Empire (though there's nothing else to suggest it).
2. No, it was written by several authors
3. Various authors wrote the books of the New Testament, arguably they were Catholic.
4. Is the Pope what, Catholic? Yes.

Answer 8

To answer succinctly:

1. I would imagine that Jesus being the Son of God is multilingual.

2. He didn't author the OT, for He wasn't ALIVE yet.

3. The Catholics didn't write the NT for Catholicism didn't EXIST until AFTER the last book of the NT (Revelation) was written in about 95 AD.

4. Is the Pope what? You didn't finish the question.

Answer 9

Jesus was probably bilingual at least in Aramaic and Hebrew. The bible was written by about 60 men over thousands of years. The Pope didn't write any of the books of the Bible.

Answer 10

He inspired men to write what comprises today as the Old Testament. Apostles, NOT Catholics, wrote the New Testament.
Yes, Jesus could seak Hebrew and Aramaic, and probably other types of languages, remember-God in flesh.

Is the Pope what?

Answer 11

Jesus speaks all the languages on Earth, even the ones no one speaks anymore. God is the author behind all the books of the Bible and used many people as instruments to actually write it down. And is the Pope what?
