True story.
This is why the sign they put up over Jesus' head when he was on the cross was "I N R I", "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews."
In Greek, it was I N B I, translating to "Jesus the Nazorean, King of the Judeans."

It seems that once again you may only be groping around in darkness. What Latin scholars had was no equivalent for the letter I and they therfore substituted the letter J
The letter j is rather different to those discussed so far, as it did not exist in Latin and, of course, a great deal of the medieval literate tradition is in Latin. This does n ...[text shortened]... began Caesar adsum jam forte.

When you finish your doctorate, then come tell me of your "theories".
Until then, it's "opinion", with all the respect that is worth.

Originally posted by SuzianneNot sure what you are slobbering about, there was no equivalent for the constant I, Latin scholars substituted J.

That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. - Psalm 83:18
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. - Isaiah 12:2
Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: - Isaiah 26:4

-Removed-That's right. Jehovah is gathering all things together again in His Son Christ Jesus.
(Ephesians 1:8-10) This undeserved kindness he caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding 9 by making known to us the sacred secret of his will. It is according to his good pleasure that he himself purposed 10 for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, to gather all things together in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth. Yes, in him
It's our only hope.

This is why I doubt you're really as educated as you represent yourself to be.
Did the Romans speak Greek?
They were conquered by the Romans who inherited many areas that spoke Greek
The same as today's world primarily speaks English because of the influence of the Anglo- American World Power.
