If this website has something to say, you can summarize its message.

The gist seems to be, that certain murky passages of the New Testament
make sense, if they are read as inept Greek translations of typically
Semitic poetic constructions and wordplays.

Which we talked about repeatedly.
The opinion of some people that the texts are not a translation is
entirely irrelevant:

1. The Greek is obviously that of L1 Semitic speakers. I'd suggest
that translation on the page or in the mind makes no substantial
difference.

Except, of course, for the definition of "translation."

2. It is just personal opinion (albeit of titled persons): No internal
evidence really points to a first writing in Greek or in Aramaic, one
way or the other.

Merely the _lack_ of evidence of translation from Aramaic to Greek.
