It is your rejection of the Bible doctrine of preservation that is worthless and wrong. What the Scriptures state and teach is not a "silly theory." You do not prove that my acceptance of what the Scriptures teach is a blunder.

The exact, specific words spoken by Paul and other apostles by means of the Holy Spirit and later written referred to those words that were written in the original languages (1 Cor. 2:13, 2 Pet. 1:21, 2 Pet. 3:16, 2 Pet. 3:2, John 17:8, Luke 18:31, Heb. 1:1-2). The Lord Jesus Christ directly referred to “the things that are written by the prophets” (Luke 18:31),

The New Testament specifically talks of Hebrew, Latin and Greek.

Luke 23:38 (AV)
And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew,
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

John 19:20 (AV)
This title then read many of the Jews:
for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city:
and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

So, many New Testament writers could read and speak and write in these languages.
They could writer and translate in these languages, as Eusebius reports about New Testament books.

Which of your verses above says the word "original languages" and limits the New Testament language to Greek.
Not verse numbers, verse text!

Rarely have I seen as much irrelevant blah-blah as you put into the post above.

Acts 21:40-22:2(AV)
And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs,
and beckoned with the hand unto the people.
And when there was made a great silence,
he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

Paul the Apostle Wrote Hebrews

Since the beginning, Hebrews had been ascribed to Paul as one of his Epistles to his own people, the Jews. But the writing style of that wonderful book did not seem to coincide with Paul’s style of writing in his Epistles. The 300’s AD Eusebius in writing about and quoting the very early 100’s AD Clement of Alexandria (c. 150 – c. 215 AD) who writes:


“He (Clement) says that the Epistle to the Hebrews is the work of Paul, and that it was written to the Hebrews in the Hebrew language; but that Luke translated it carefully and published it for the Greeks, and hence the same style of expression is found in this epistle (Hebrews) and in the Acts (written by Luke c. 60’s to 80’s AD).” Eusebius, Church History 6.14.2
