  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What language did Jesus commonly speak?

Jesus spoke Aramaic in Matthew 27:

46 about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Wiki:

The language of Jesus and his disciples is believed to be Aramaic.[1][2] This is the common language of Judea in the first century AD, most likely a Galilean dialect distinguishable from that of Jerusalem.[3] This is generally agreed upon by historians. The villages of Nazareth and Capernaum in Galilee, where Jesus spent most of his time, were Aramaic-speaking communities.[4] It is also likely that Jesus knew enough Koine Greek to converse with those not native to Judea, and it is reasonable to assume that Jesus was well versed in Hebrew for religious purposes.[5][6][7]
Jesus preached to the crowd in Aramaic. That was the common people's language in Judea.

On some rare occasions, he might have used Greek.

Yeah, Jesus spoke Aramaic. His native name: is Yeshua, which translates roughly to Joshua.

There’s some fun facts about the pre-Diaspora usage and spelling of the specific Hebrew name “Joshua”… :D It involves the WaW sound.

You mean this Waw sound below? Yeshua = Joshua
