How come we never saw him speaking Chinese or Swahili?

The Greek dude was supposed to be a great orator. I am gonna get some stones and work on talk clearly and become president somewhere. I crave that so much.

Specifically GREEK, NOT ROMAN, please. And I'm not talking about Greek Orthodox, but the actual religion.
Also! I am fully aware that the Greek Gods are also known as the Olympians, and live on Mount Olympus. Believe me, I've studied Greek Mythology for years, so I just want the name of the RELIGION. This detail was specifically added for Nutter. I KNOW what they are called. I just wanted to know the religion's name.

I would like to read the Bible in its original writing. Would learning Hebrew and Koine Greek be the correct way to do this?

then why is it you can find the lord's prayer in aramaic in the youtube as the original version of Jesus before the greek? or the new testament was written in greek before? then why do gospels quoted the greek version of the Bible?for their prophecies of the Jewish Bible?

i heard that the new testament was supposed to be in greek and that the parts where jesus speaks is in greek too. but my dad always tells me that jesus is jewish. so how come the bible isnt in jewish??? i think maybe jesus was greek or people wrote it wrong or i dont get it. do you know what i am talking about? it is all so hard for me to understand.

How do you write the name GABRIEL in Greek?

,,,

I had to sneak away it seems
my dreams had held me
at abeyance
I wanted to speak in terms
endearing to those of you
hard of hearing
English adverbs, nouns or
pleasure on
the palate of my tongue
or was that the
roof top of my mouth
any how
I am partly Indian
Cherokee, I suppose
and I love Greek salad
and feta cheese
and pretty please and
atchoo, I sneezed

could you teach me how to dance
in fact a glance at me
you'll see
two left feet or maybe three
and my tongue
monopoly of one language
only
it speaks *ME*
so please to
tell me
can you teach
and if you can I may
just breach
the distance, time, circumference
of your
just out of my
short reach

oh pffffffffffft,
a poem no
not It seems
this one can't be
(tiny gleams)
nonsensic pleasure
tipping
me
laughter falling
raucously

The people can be dead

I just really want to and I want to know the best way to get started. Maybe I'll be an egyptologist that studies Greek polytheism when I get older. LOL. But does anyone know a really good web site or maybe YOU can help me out along the way...That would be REALLY great!!

Thanks~Katie♥

Which is best to learn, Latin of Greek?

Hi there.

I've just spent some time online and found it most interesting how English comes from Latin and Greek and I'd like very much to learn more about these languages, maybe even get to speak them one day. But I know that Latin is a dying langauge which is pretty sad all things considered. So, what do you reacon? Is Greek easier to learn? Should I try finding a Latin teacher? Or am I simply wasting my time? Thanks everyone.

Ya'll have been great answering questions in the past, and I look forward to hearing your responses. If you answer, can you spell out phonetically so I can sound it out (you know, Greek for Dummies!
