One: I agree and I would say that yes from the beginning we have been making very different points. And been speaking past each other.

I am still not sure if the above is true, but if it is then that would be all the more reason why more (not all) faithful men/women of faith should know Biblical languages in order to deal with and even persuaded the heretics.

How is language acquisition trifling or wrangle (whatever that means) over words?
Dave, the act of communicating in modern English on these forums with you is not trifling over words any more than speaking my family's language …

Indeed the way I wrote the question was in a brief and vague way to get people talking.
However, theologically speaking (on the issues you presented) I am neither an Arminian nor a Calvinist. Figuratively speaking I stand outsi…

I am not sure what part of what I wrote or what we discussed would lead to such a conclusion. Nor am I sure how we can be for certain what the original writers new apart from what they wrote. However, I would say that the Masorah of th…

I do not know about your ministry or the audience you are trying to reach, but for those who continue to cross my path knowledge of the Tanakh, classical Hebrew, and literature has proven to be of great value in "starting from Moses and all the p…

What, does the hiring of a lawyer have to do with a so-called street-level language knowledge(whatever that means)? I do not know and am not sure how the hiring of a lawyer have anything to do with language learning?

Think of John Gresham Machen and William D. Mounce Christians who are known for their respective famous introductory Greek grammars. Neither of which have degrees in Biblical languages! Mounce has an undergraduat…

Therefore, an expat shouldn't learn the language of the country they have chosen to live in? And, they should instead hire a full-time interpreter/translator or just remain monolingual and live in a bubble? Actually, for whatever reaso…

If I were to apply your analogy to my life it might sound like this: When I first moved to rural Japan I had two options learn Japanese language or hire a full-time professional translator/interpreter to follow me around all day every …

What, if one is born, fated, or predestined not to be in the right group? How, then would such a one know that Jesus supposedly condemned their group if they were in the so-called wrong group and (either did not have access to the NT) had not rea…

Growing up most of the multitude of counselors I had told me that Isaiah 53 spoke of the nation of Israel rather the Messiah. And, most understood or render the 2 Palms in such way that it did not sound Messianic at all.

If true then I would say then that there is a great need for more (not all and not less) Christians to study, learn, and master the original languages.
Personally, I have found my reading ability in Greek and Classical Hebrew t…

Would you trust Barth D. Ehrman's opinion over your own on the meaning of the NT and the identity of Jesus? He has very clearly mastered the Biblical languages, he holds a Master, and a PhD and is an expert/professional textual critic.…

One: the Scriptures I have read differently for the above for "had better" does not appear.
Two: Yes, It seems that Jesus/Yeshua was speaking figuratively unless the Bible is in conflict with its self over this issue. -

One, I am not a preacher.
And, two the Jesus found in the Bible is the Biblical Jesus -
One: a word meaning "better" does not appear in the Greek text of Matthew 11:14-15.
And, Two: being that we have more Biblical texts on this matter than just Matthew chapter 11 I think we can understand Jesus words correctly after we rea…

However. all the following terms are not found in the Biblical text: Trinity, Trinitarianism, Successive modalism, simultaneous modalism, Tritheism, Binitarianism, Swedenb…

Reading through these post I think some are conflating the concept of Jesus being Diety with Trinity. Not, all Christian who believe in the divinity of Jesus can be said to hold to trinitarianism. For example, they might hold to:
