Tim: Once again you have demonstrated superior scholarship. It never ceases to amuse and amaze me when "Ricky Recruit" or "Nicky Newcomer" takes it upon him/herself to correct (set straight) people like you, Hank, Nolan, Reformer Joe and others. As for these overnight sensations, these Lone Ranger Internet Bible experts, it is said the more one knows the more he knows that he doesn't know. Likewise, the less one knows the less he/she is aware of his/her lack of knowledge. Grace to you, kalos |

Greetings Kalos! Thanks for the kind words! I must add though that it is easier than it looks to do sound research with the modern Bible programs available today. ;-) I love my program. It is a simple matter to look up every occurance of a word (English, Greek, or Hebrew). By the way, for the sake of the forum I would offer these recommendations for doing a good word study. 1) Look up every occurance of a particular Greek or Hebrew word. If you don't know the languages, use a good concordance like Strongs to find out which Greek or Hebrew word is being used. Some words may be used so often that one many only be able to do a representative sampeling. 2) Pay particular attention to how a particular author uses that word in his writtings. To many people make the mistake of just plugging in a concordance definition in every single verse, but this doesn't always work. Some authors use a particular word differently than others. So, when researching a word, determine how John (for instance) uses that word in his writtings. 3) Make a list of the possible meanings you have found doing your word study. Note things like case, tense, person, number, ect.... 4) Consult an expert in that particular language to make sure that you have not missed anything, especially idioms which may not be apparent apart from a knowledge of a language. Word studies are wonderful tools for understanding Scripture. Of course, one must still do sound exgesis of the text, but good word studies will answer many questions quickly and easily - as you mentioned earlier my friend! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Morant61: I hope some paid attention to your fine suggestion of how to find, and do word studies. This proves, with patients and genuine interest of study, anyone can grow and learn a lot. However you are competing with these self taught "terachers" on TV that are so spell binding and emotion runs the show, that few there are that will look up these false teachers words, and find out their are truely "false teachers". It any wonder that many TV preachers have fallen. and the pure Chruch takes the shame. Tim you and so many on the forum try to poimt the new lambs in the right direction, That's all we can ask. Thank you. agape justme |
