Bible Note: Dear Makarios: What never ceases to amaze is the idea that we see exposed on this Forum all too often that a few evenings spent with Strong's can transform an erstwhile Hebrew or Greek illiterate into a seasoned scholar of the ancient tongues, qualifying him to sit as judge and jury over learned masters of these languages who have devoted a lifetime to their study. Next thing you know, someone will come along peddling a Greek pill and a Hebrew pill. Take one of each with a tall glass of Gatorade, get a good night's sleep, and by morning you will speak Greek as well as Luke and Hebrew as well as King Solomon. --Hank |
