One last time: where did Christ send the the church?  Hint: Matt 28:18-20, 
Acts 1:8...  You keep ignoring the data which invalidates your claims, and 
keep talking as though that data doesn't exist.

You're kidding, right?  Historical comparative linguistics can do a lot, but 
it can't reconstruct what people said or wrote.
