Description
This course will demonstrate the theory that the New Testament was written in Aramaic. The Aramaic New Testament was put together in 150 CE, while the Greek New Testament was not assembled until 1515 CE. This is a stimulating examination of the original language of the New Testament. The words of Jesus are not difficult when you read them in Aramaic. The Catholic-Protestant church, with most academia pushing the Koine Greek version of the New Testament. So much is lost when the New Testament is not read in Aramaic You may not agree with the theory being presented and that's OK. If you want to increase your understanding of the Bible, you need to question everything! When the New Testament is read in Aramaic, the idioms and figures of speech of Jesus' day is revealed. Modern translation committees often ignore the idioms or try to change them into today's idioms. That is not acceptable to the disciple who wants to learn the original meaning of the Scripture. Many windows will open to you that will lead to deeper discipleship to Jesus Christ. There will be courses offered using Aramaic as the base language for understanding of Paul's letters, the Gospel of John, and Luke.

The point of highlighting the spoken language of Aramaic and Hebrew were great starters. However for individuals who enjoy a good study and would like to gather more, it would be helpful to share more information where we could learn more vs taking Michael's word at face value. This is not to say it wasn't a good topic, but more is needed to help make it great! Each section could be it's own module. I would have like to hear about Abram's native land and how they spoke Aramaic but when he left learned to speak Hebrew. There is no doubt the speaker knows his information, however the presentation and flow needs improvement.

Very encouraging. As a believer of 7 years, in my 40's, I too questioned so much of what I saw - so much hypocrisy, so little power to transform lives. The Father leads a yearning heart to the truth however, and your course has been a step along the journey for my family. Thank-you from Tasmania, Australia.

This is not as course, this is a point of view and therefore should not be on Udemy. Have no idea how much this guy really knows and does not cover what I wanted to know which was Aramaic
