wmam said:Where did I ever state that he didn't understand Hebrew? My point was the fact that Yahshua chose Hebrew when speaking to Saul. No where does it state that He spoke any other language that I can find.
Saul chose to HEAR in Hebrew, that is no proof that God spoke in any language at all.
wmam said:I'm sure you have some sort of secular source that you get this from for I find it no where in the Scripture.
"Aramaic is a Semitic language with a 3,000-year history. It has been the language of administration of empires and the language of divine worship. It is the original language of large sections of the biblical books of Daniel and Ezra, and is the main language of the Talmud. Aramaic is believed to have been the language spoken by Jesus, and it is still spoken today as a first language by numerous small communities.
Aramaic belongs to the Afro-Asiatic language family. Within that diverse family, it belongs to the Semitic subfamily. Aramaic is a part of the Northwest Semitic group of languages, which also includes the Canaanite languages (including Hebrew)." Wikpedia
wmam said:Again.......... Not Scriptural that I can find. I will state that one would think that some would use some Aramaic mixed in with the Hebrew back then as there are words mixed in with English that came from many different languages. That is just a thought and is in no way meant to be fact other than just a thought. We can sit and speak of all the secular info in the world and all our own thoughts and beliefs and dreams for that matter but it still doesn't excuse the fact that He chose to speak in Hebrew as it is written.
Again Saul HEARD in Hebrew, it was inside his head, and no one else heard any words at all. The other travellers heard thunder. Maybe he was struck by lightning?
wmam said:There are many places through out the entire Scriptures that messengers used dreams and visions to reveal things. Now your debating the tactic in which was chosen by the One that chose it. lol...... Maybe you don't think that YAH could make you understand Hebrew if He so chose to do so huh?
Of course He could. The fact is that if God speaks to man man hears it in his head. Only on rare occasions has the voice of God been heard by groups of people, and I do not think that there is any notation of what the language they heard might have been.
