ARAMAIC LANGUAGE TO BE USED TO RELAY HIS WORD TO THE WORLD AS AN
ORIGINAL TEXT

SINCE ONLY THE 66 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE AND ONLY IN GREEK AND HEBREW HAVE
PROVIDED AN INERRANT COMMUNICATION OF GOD'S WORD THROUGHOUT THE AGES OR
FOR ANY AGE, THEN IT IS SELF EVIDENT THAT THIS IS WHAT GOD HAS INTENDED
TO COMMUNICATE TO THE WORLD AS HIS REVEALED WORD
