I do agree with the point of getting back on topic, however I disagree with the point that it does not matter what language the New Testament was written in.
Parts were written in Greek and parts written in Hebrew. In my studies, I've come to find that the translations to English were extremely generous, and helped make Jesus seem more incredible than he might of been.
One example that comes to mind is the "miracle" he performed of walking on water. In the original Greek text, the word 'epi' was used to describe Jesus' action of walking 'epi' the sea. It was translated into "on the sea." However, 'epi' would more commonly and logically be translated into 'alongside' as in "Jesus walked alongside the sea."
Just sayin' is all.
