@pettytalk saidHowever, what you have pointed out from scripture hardly does any justice to the suggestion of Jesus having received a better education, and it was the reason for being able to speak Greek.
Just to be clear, I tend to favor the idea that Jesus, the man, was well versed with the Greek language.

@pettytalk saidBut where in Scripture does it suggest that Jesus received a better education? And does Scripture also mention, directly or indirectly, anything related to Jesus' education in linguistics?
Anyone reading the Bible will recall that Jesus specifically attributed the possibility of everything to God, using a colorful simile that involved camels and the eye of a needle to illustrate the improbability of the rich entering the Kingdom.

@sonhouse saidI still don't understand what his supporters see in him. He's a convicted fraudster, lifelong womanizer who fathered 5 children by 3 different ladies (not including the illegitimate ones) a tax and payroll cheat who doesn't pay his employees and respects only dictators of other countries.
Indicted along with some 11 others in the fake elector scheme.

@averagejoe1 saidI expect his lawyers are telling him to be very careful what he says. It is good that he gets out there so America will see this human being, being chased into hell like the pitiful character in the movie elephant man. He turned to the crowd and said I am a human being.
as a Trump supporter, if he has any downfall, it will be these Comments each day. I expect his lawyers are telling him to be very careful what he says.

@pettytalk saidDid Jesus speak Greek?
The question of whether Jesus spoke Greek has been debated among scholars.
Are there any scholars here which can shed light on what the debate was all about?
As a primer, the following was gleaned by Wikipedia:
There exists a consensus among scholars that the language of Jesus and his disciples was Aramaic. Aramaic was the common language of Judea in the first cen ...[text shortened]... ve to Judea. It is reasonable to assume that Jesus was well versed in Hebrew for religious purposes.
@averagejoe1 saidI'm sure its puzzling to you Joe, but the prosecutions documented and taped evidence paints a very clear picture of fraud and election interference.
A tax evasion witness.?? What has that got to do with this case? What crime was Trump trying to conceal, anyway. That has not been made clear.
The trouble for Trump is this minefield, one slip of tongue, (and he does a lot of talking) could backfire on him, and we could lose it.
If Biden wins, are y'all going to make us house the immigrants, legal and ille ...[text shortened]... liberalized. Everyone would indeed, at the end of the day, all end up in the same place. Brrrrrr
@averagejoe1 saidDear Joe - Quoting a grand total of one (1) carefully handpicked fringe website clarifies absolutely nothing.

This is simple-to-read, ( No Marauder Links!!) The Trial For Dummies (I made that up).

@russ saidThis looks pretty nice. I'll be back here to rejoin and compete before the end of the year. My recent OTB events have been fun, but travel expense and adjusting my schedule around tournament dates doesn't always work for me. Correspondence chess is looking more appealing.

@pettytalk saidI was under the impression that logic is logic, no matter the source.
Is not scripture written by man, allowing for divine inspiration for the writing?
I was under the impression that logic is logic, no matter the source.
How does scriptural logic work?

Seriously, who is interested in him? I think that we can definitely conclude that all presidential votes will be, quite simply, votes against Trump.
Further, I sayeth not.
