In response to my piece on the Black Sea flood as the origin of the Indo-European expansion and its mention in the Bible due to Zoroastrian influences, someone on Stormfront gave me rep points and included a note that the New Testament was written in Greek rather than in Hebrew.
MY REPLY:
That’s the least of it. The New Testament was written by another historical group that is as forgotten as Zoroastriansim.
Nobody has the least real knowledge of Christianity who is not aware of the importance of Persian Zoroastriansim AND of the Hellenic Jews.
There are estimates that there were up to seven MILLION Jews in the Roman Empire in the time of Jesus. The overwhelming majority of them were HELLENIC Jews, like the historian Josephus. But as Christianity arose, that vast population of Jews disappeared entirely from history.
Six million Jews disappeared. Where did they GO?
Either there was a Hitler Holocaust history never mentioned, or they became the basis of the Christian Church. THEIR Old Testament was in GREEK. Their NEW Testament was in GREEK.
I don’t think you need Sherlock Holmes to tell you where they went. But no theologian seems to.

Didn’t you ask once where they came from? that the vast majority of them were proselytes from Greco-Roman religions to ancient Judaism? Thus Christianity restored these converts back from Judaism?
