This is probably the Hebrew Matthew you are talking about

Hello, Black Sheep, since the artwork's not yours, then the "cult" is not not either. I apologize on both counts. Please forgive my error in judgment.
A related question is whether God's name shouldn't rightfully appear in the NT after all, since it quotes from the OT which does uses the Tetragrammaton. I've just started a Topic on that for those who are interested. That's at http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/178221/1/Is-Gods-name-absent-in-the-Christian-Scriptures. It points to a link which I find of interest.

The disclaimer on Black Sheep's http://www.shemtov.org/ link is interesting. It reads, as follows:— Please note that the text of the Shem Tov version of the Gospel of Matthew is NOT the original Hebrew of the Gospel of Matthew but has been copied from an earlier text, and modified by Shem Tov to suit his purposes. Note the expression "original Hebrew of the Gospel of Matthew". This means that are definitely others who are of the belief that at least Matthew apparently originally wrote his gospel in Hebrew.

The legal writing of that time was done in either Aramaic or Greek. (Not "Hebrew" and not Latin)

Of course JW's would like to believe the NT was written in Hebrew, that would support their addition of JEHOVAH to the text in their NW translation.
Unfortunately, Biblical scholars (despite articles from obscure areas of the internet and wikipedia; which any educated person can tell you is an uncitable source) do not support this wishful thinking. In fact there is little in the JW NWT that Biblical scholars do support.
Nice try ST, but as usual your logic is full of holes.

Jehovah is the Source of all righteous judgment. We will see. Meanwhile, the grammar of much of it, the names of many, and the quotes of much of it is that of the OT. That much we can be quite certain of.

I'm afraid I don't follow your logic? You begin a thread claiming to offer "proof" that the NT was actually written in Hebrew, then cite two obscure articles of the internet and wikipedia. When we call you on it you fall back to a "Jehovah knows" defense?
I'm sure Jehovah does know ST, but you nor your precious GB are Jehovah. You cannot change the facts which decidedly prove the NT was NOT written in Hebrew, and that the Hebrew name for God was not included in the NT writings. Your NW translation committee added that to bolster it's teachings.
I'm a little unclear on what your agenda here is? Do you even understand what constitutes an acceptable source and how proper citation methods actually work? From your ramblings I don't think you do.
