Who decides if a verse is literal and what part is metaphorical @PeterTurner Thank you for adding that - could you tell me if I incorporated that correctly into my answer? |

Did the city of Nazareth exist in the time of Jesus? John Dominic Crossan contends not that there is no Nazerth, but rather that Nazareth was simply a minor village on the outskirts of Sepphoris. Then again, JDC also contends the resurrection is just a happy thought, and not a real thing :) |

Whom did Lamech kill? Welcome to C.SE, and I hope you have the chance to read our FAQ. This is an OK answer, but I think it would be better if were sourced more closely. |

Was there a reason Jesus came at the time he did? Agreed, near duplicate, not an actual duplicate! I like this question as a signpost, but don't want to 'copy and paste' and an answer, since SE frowns on that. As such, what I'll do is summarize and link, with the hope that any votes go back to the main question. Barring that, I could flag for mods to combine the two - but make yours the master. Or, we could just leave it be. Our mods are pretty good at this sort of thing... |

What evidence is there that the New Testament was originally written in Aramaic? @harry James fox - what you can cite are scholars who have asserted Greek only (and you are correct that it is the more mainstream) or, scholars who posit Armaic construction and the flaws in their arguments. Stating that there are no extant manuscripts, for example, factually supports the claim. I know it sounds nitpicky, but it is a more supportable and provable theological statement. It's how scholars would write it, and I sense great potential in you :) |

Was there a reason Jesus came at the time he did? This is actually a duplicate of "Why didn't Jedus come at the time of the Flood" but I agree, it's not worthy of a Downvote. |

Among writers of the bible, how many are Jews and how many are Greeks, Aramics, etc.? All of them are Jews. Some of them spoke Aramaic and Greek - but everyone of them lived in the same region as the historical kingdom of Israel and had Hebrew blood. Jewish is technically the religion of the Hebrews, from which all Christians derive. |
