For instance, Papias said that Matthew wrote in Hebrew language a collection of sayings. This seemed to be the Gospel used by Nazarenes and Hebionites, who were christians that rejected the divinity of Jesus, regarding him only as the Messiah. Nevertheless, Jerome, an "orthodox" church father at the end of the fourth century wrote that most christians believed that that Gospel used by these sects was the original one written by Matthew. And if you read Jerome's and Eusebius' quotations from that Gospel you will notice that many statements differ from that of the greek version of Matthew's Gospel. So it means that many christians of the fourth century were not convinced of the authenticity of greek version of the Matthew's Gospel that we currently have.
I thought that this is already an accepted fact anyway, namely that Matthew was written originally in aramaic or hebrew.
Theologian Pope Benedict mentioned for instance Papia's testimony for Matthew on 30th Aug, 2006
"Finally, it should be recalled that the tradition of the early church unanimously Matthew ascribes authorship of the first Gospel. This is already happening by Papias, who was Bishop of Hierapolis in Phrygia about the year 130. He writes: "Matthew has compiled the speeches in Hebrew; everyone interpreted them as best he could "(in Eusebius of Caesarea, Ecclesiastical History, III, 39). The historian Eusebius adds: "Matthew, who had first preached among the Hebrews, wrote when he wanted to go also to the other nations his gospel in his native language; because he sought whom he left to replace by Scripture what they lost with his departure "(ibid., III, 24).
We have the Gospel written by Matthew in Hebrew or Aramaic no longer, but in the Greek Gospel that we have, we as it were listening the compelling voice of the Matthew who, became the apostle so continues this saving mercy of God to proclaim. Let us listen to this message of St.. Matthew, we always think back about it, so that we learn to stand up and follow Jesus with determination.
[the text is on basis of goole translation and not edited perfectly]Whether later redaction in greek or second took place, a second, third redaction, hat changed matthews theology and doesnt fit into his concepts and whether new concepts were later added are interesting field of research.

Buying music for convention trailers and not allowing the joung ones to make a career in music at the same convention is a DUPLICITY of first rate.
I vote for more life music in halls and on conventions and for WT-certificates and grades in applied studies of art.

I wonder if you also wonder why the "Watchtower symphonic orchestra" not composed some fine piece of "eletronic music" for this convention trailer. I think that the Watchtower symphonic orchestra is simply not competent enough in modern electronic music at all.
But it was very important for the Governing Body as alwys to attract the young ones on the convention with up to date trailer music like it is in the latest movie trailers with that special hollywood feeling. So it turns around promoting the faith with lates music tools. The impression could aris that JW have the better dramatic cinema.
This though we have so many young talents. :sparkles: who would appreciate take part in production electronic music.
That is a second major fail: That they forbid and not support higher musical education to produce such fine electronic music and later buy this music from the "world." They forget that learning music and playing it always only at home is not enough in this profession. Only one JW orchestra is not enough for the whole world there are so many talents.Young talent :point_left:

:yum: What a shocking insight about how prophecies fulfill through unbelievable ways and how God suffers while god uses his servants and appoints them to go through awkward happenings and forces them to invent fictive history.

This would be a scientic study about the Papias fragments in german, but not free available

about peters "hermeneut"
Eusebius remarks that, “as is clear from his books, [Papias] was a man of very little intelligence.” He made this judgment for two reasons: first, Papias was a chiliast or millenialist, believing that “there will be a thousand years after the resurrection of the dead when the kingdom of Christ will be set up in a material form in this earth.” Eusebius blames Papias for the subsequent adoption of chiliasm among many other Christian writers, among them Irenaeus. Secondly, Papias seems to have lacked discrimination in passing along certain “fabulous accounts” as part of the oral tradition. http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/articles.cfm?id=640

From which, it appears from his own catalog of names that there is one John who is placed among the apostles and another elder John whom he listed after Aristion. We say this, however, on account of the above opinion, that, insofar as we report a tradition from very many, the two latter epistles of John are not of the apostle but of the presbyter. He is said to have perpetuated a Jewish tradition of the thousand years, which Irenaeus and Apollinaris etc. follow, who say that the Lord will reign in the flesh with the saints after the resurrection. Tertullian also in the book On the Hope of the Faithful and Victorinus of Pettau and Lactantius are said to be of this opinion.
