I ran into this on a newsgroup, and would like to check more on the truth of it:

*******************************************
There is no evidence that any of the Bible was originally written in
Greek.  There are over fifty different versions of ancient Greek texts
that still exist today.  This indicates a non-Greek original with
local translation into Greek.  The only accounts of original language
are Christian accounts of the Hebrew autograph (manuscript written by
the author) of Matthew being stored in the library in Ceasaria in
Israel, and the orthodox Jewish account in the Talmud that the New
testament was a problem for the ancient rabbis who were not allowed to
destroy any text with God's actual name written in Hebrew.  The
Talmudic account goes not to say that these Hebrew texts had to be
hidden away set into masonry for God to decide their fate.  So in the
second through Fourth Centuries CE, Hebrew texts of the NT were quite
common, but they were taken out of circulation when discovered by
Orthodox Jews.

Cn anyone help?  Thanks.
