Subject: How are we to understand? |
Bible Note: Hank, Thank you so much for your input regarding this matter. I have been questioning this issue for some time now and am a strong believer in going back to the original language as to get a better understanding of the scriptures. I understand what you are saying and I thought your point on McDonalds was hilarious. Regarding (1), there are linguistic cowboys who suppose they can drop by a bookstore, pick up a Strong's or other Hebrew-Greek dictionary, stop by MacDonald's on the way home and while they are eating a Big Mac become an expert in the ancient languages. But wouldn't you agree that even the novice should go back to the original language in which the scriptures were written as to get a better understanding for themselves and also seek out bible scholars whom have been studying the scriptures for many years? Because lets face it when it comes to where the rubber meets the road we are solely responsible for (KNOWING) what God is conveying to us. We as human beings are not perfect. Thank you again for your help! In the Living Water of Truth of the Father, SERENETIME |
