An iota is a Greek letter not a Hebrew character. Your argument is that Christ specifically references the Hebrew so must have been referring to a Hebrew text. He probably spoke in Aramaic but what is revealed to us aren't the Aramaic words but the Greek and what is referenced is based on Greek letters not Hebrew and there is no argument that links it specifically to a Hebrew base text as you suggest.So you think a jot and a tittle is different than an iota and a keraia?
Yeshua told them "You do greatly err, not knowing the scriptures or the power of God." The End.Whatever happened to the Sadducees, the opponents of the Pharisees? I find it interesting that we don't hear of them anymore.
I smell a Hegelian Dialectic; but I'm not going to follow the scent.
Right... The text still doesn't say "jots and tittles"

I ended up watching the whole series. He makes some convincing arguments. He was doing great up until the end; when he started hugging the KJV.
In the KJV you mean a 500 year old translation written in a dead earlier form of English.In our current bibles it says that unless you don't read and write English or something.
The irony in this post is amazing.

The translation says "jot and tittle" other translations don't say this.I was paraphrasing. The King James says,
"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
(Matthew 5:18).
So the text says "jot" and "tittle."
I am glad you liked most of it.
Apparently those who translate the bible do, including those who translated the KJV.Nobody speaks or writes biblical Hebrew or Greek anymore.
Living languages change, dead language don't. Latin for example is still spoken but its a dead language because it doesn't change. The English in the KJV is dead and not spoken any more (nor is it taught in general ed) pass a KJV to a millennial and see how well they understand it.1600's English is not so dead of a language that a person cannot read and understand it. You cannot read and understand Hebrew or Greek at all unless you had a Lexicon. With the 1600's English you can understand most of the words (because it is technically still English), and any words you don't understand you can check in a dictionary that is not religiously biased.

But they are not with us anymore. It was 47 translators who worked on the KJV. They also double checked their work in groups. No other translation is ever like it. All the Modern Translations come from the other line of manuscripts that have been corrupted Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus. The KJV comes from the pure line of manuscripts (Which is the Textus Receptus).
