Was the Brit Chadasha really originally in Greek?

This has been something I've been unsure about and I know some Messianics who really push the Aramaic, so I would like those who think it's originally in Greek, or originally in Aramaic, or originally in Hebrew but lost to us give their opinions for each view.

I tend to believe it was originally in Hebrew but lost to us.  As to the oldest manuscripts we do have, I'm not sure whether they're in Greek or Aramaic.

It took a while to find it, but:

I obviously agree with you.

From the English translation of the Greek source documents:

Romans 3:1-2 (ESV) Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?  Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.

Clearly, if you are not Jewish then the "oracles of God" are not to be entrusted to you. All of the B'rith Chadashah was written BY Jews TO Jews IN Hebrew. We were given access to them by the grace of Elohim. Sadly we contaminated them with the pagan Greek tongue and our religious thought with the paganism which we as Gentiles understood, instead of doing the work and adjusting our thinking to that of the Jews.

edit: It is only right to say here that R Reuel of the parent synagogue of this forum told me (a little over three years ago) that he believes at least some of the B'rith Chadashah was written in Greek. I don't know his current thinking on this, but since it is their forum I thought I should share that.
