September 8 –Why Did Nephites Speak Greek? Revelation 1:8 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”

If the Nephites had been in America since 600 BC, how did they know to use the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet?
Gently explain to the Mormon you know that Greek wasn’t used until 323 BC at its earliest record. At that time only dignitaries, and those high up in government positions were using Greek. The majority of people were using Aramaic. 3rd Nephi supposedly took place c. 34 AD.
How would they have known how to speak this language? What language was Jesus using when He supposedly made His visit to the Americas?
