Bible Note: Steve: I agree. A problem I have with the Hebrew Roots Movement is that, based on reading their literature and listening to them teach, one gets the idea that we can never understand the meaning of any passage of Scripture unless and until one has studied Jewish history, culture and background, learned Hebrew and studied the Talmud. If that is so, then there is no point in distributing Bibles in China, Japan, etc. The Wycliffe Bible translators may as well shut down and go home. I personally find the study of the Jewish roots of Christianity very interesting and helpful. I enjoy it. But, to say that the face value/plain sense meaning of the Bible text is not the real meaning, that to get at the real meaning you have to learn Hebrew and read the writings of the sages, is going too far, in my opinion.
