So...I'm extremely unsatisfied with my understanding of the Bible. It's not because I'm dumb and don't have a good handle on English. It's because I'm not fluent in many other languages. I'm learning Hebrew right now and then want to venture into Greek. Why? So that I can fully understand the Bible...I want to know exactly what is said, when it seems there are inconsistencies...a friend of mine wrote a little blog post and it shows very clearly WHY it is important! Enjoy!

Shalom!
That's so neat that you're venturing into other languages. I would love to do that one day too. Sometimes I wish I could read the Bible in its original version(s), for the sake of understanding. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't exciting to learn more truths and what better way to do this than to go back to the original language they were spoken in! Our creator will soon restore all language to one, HIS! We as believers should be trying to learn. I know that in our home as we are learning Hebrew, the scriptures not only come alive but our passion is stirred to greater depths!
