The Lord's prayer - Debt or trespass?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

...Christ was a Jew, the Bible was written in Greek

The protestant version sounds like it was written by a Jew, wasn't Calvin's name really Klein.


...what's your point; that Jews are Greek, or that Catholics are not Jews?

The old testement was witten mostly in Hebrew but partly in Aramaic, not Greek. The earliest surving NT texts are 4th Century. and it is sp[eculative what language theNT was first written in: .what we do now is that the disciples were probably mostly Aramaic Speakers and no doubt the four gospels as we now have them, and possibly the ealy part of Acts in New testement may originaly been in Aramaic but were later translated and written down in Greek.
Christianity as first arose was a jewish sect. but Saul of Tarsus opened up Judaism to Gentiles by providing get outs from many of the Judiaic ritualistic practices, such as the Kosher food laws.
