father,

maraming salamat sa blog nyo at madami kami natututunan... may tanong lang po ako tungkol sa bible, ang OT po pla ay nakasulat sa hebrew at ang NT sa koine greek, may nabasa ho kasi akong blog at sabi ang orihinal na sulat ng NTestament ay nakasulat ng no spaces at capital letters lahat, totoo ba ito?

THANK Y0U VERY MUCH FOR APPRECIATING THIS BLOG.

THE EARLIEST COPIES OF THE BIBLE ESPECIALLY IN GREEK ARE REALLY WRITTEN IN ALL-CAPITAL LETTERS. AND LOOKING AT THE ANCIENT TEXTS IN APPEARS THAT THEY ALSO DON'T HAVE SPACING, HOWEVER, THE GREEK SCHOLARS COULD DETERMINE THE DISTINCTIONS OF WORDS AND SENTENCES SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE RULES OF GRAMMAR OR OF WRITING PROPER IN ANTIQUITY.
