Latin? I suppose its not really formal like the OT, but the Bible always came off as 80% law and 20% prophecy to me

Latin is a liturgical language, but I've never heard the claim that it is a Sacred language. And Judaism certainly has a Sacred Law, but Christianity has at most the "Canon law"
-
True, i dont think the concept of a holy language came until after the formation of Judaism. While Christianity went the opposite direction. Idk much on Judaism, what would they consider Sacred Law?
-
Perhaps the Noahide Laws ? I believe Torah literally means Law
-
yeah I was about to say the Jews love their law from above lol.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdbkvJznmwU …

Wow this is degenerate tho
-
sacred law is kinda wasted on jews cause there is nobody better in the world at following the letter over the spirit
-
Nah I believe ancient Hebrews were inspired by the Spirit

to be fair early Christianity did have a lot of different cultures and languages in the mix that all made significant contributions to their theology and practices. What are they going to pick, Aramaic? Hebrew? Greek? Latin? All are valid for different reasons
-
I would argue "Early Christianity" is very different from "Christendom", latter seems exteriorisation of former
-
oh yeah but I mean if there was going to be a sacred language it would've been one of the first things solidified, right next to the eucharist. i'm just explaining why (in my opinion) it wasn't a thing.
-
I actually think "early Christianity" used Hebrew as a sacred language
-
iirc hebrew was used for religious purposes by jews at the time so that would make sense
