the word Christ coming from Greek, does he know the entire New Testament was WRITTEN in Greek?

The Septuagint yes i was very aware of this thank you .... but the Septuagint collection was began in the 3rd century BC and the oldest 1rst great single collection of the Hebrew 5 Books of Moses & Genesis or the Pentateuch of the Torah or the "Old Testament" , not the New Testament . It is still used to this day , and this oldest true text of the Old Testament translation , all thanks go to the Greeks & Hellenistic Jews .

The Greek language & Hellenism was spread all throughout the Mediterranean & the Middle East (Holy Land) with their language was the lingua franca throughout the Roman empire even leading up to & past the early Christian churches in Rome which were really a new branch combined of Judaism & Hellenistic Monism . Greek was the working language of the empire and that of religious & philosophical thought as well for Latin was lacking in depth & subtlety ....the Romans were great as builders , militaristic and applied practical governing , not so great in theology or philosophy.

In Hellenistic thought begins the idea of the "Logos" with Heraclitus around 500-400bc and this starts the idea that there is a beautiful reasoned & running "Divine Law " permeating all Nature & the Universe and later with Plato's idea of that Logos embodied in a "Oneness" that is all good . Then later still you have the appearance of the "Christos" who is that embodiment in human form of the Logos & that Oneness linked syncretically
with Judaic Messiah prophecy that becomes "The Christ in Jesus".

This why its so humorous to hear greggie talk about "New Age" religion , for all the deepest ideas of God, the person of God , theology & cosmology in Christianity were first generated centuries before & completely incorporated to the greatest extent even present day Christianity ....from a blending of Judaic & Hellenistic thought.
