Seriously? All Christians must be Hebrew and Greek scholars to "get" what is in the Bible??? This is similar to the Catholic clergy claiming that only those proficient in Latin should read the Scriptures. That's why the RCC insists that only their priests can interpret Scripture correctly. And we know that is nonsense. The whole idea of translating into languages in common use was to make sure even the most unlearned would have access to the Bible. And that's what the Reformation was all about. Today English is the language of the world. And we can thank God we still have the Authorized Version freely available.
The bible was written for us and not to us. You are missing the point. Did you even watch it? English does not in many instances convey the meanings of the original text that our Bibles are written in and also the culture it was written in. I think it is a good idea to try and understand these things so we can better understand what Yahweh is teaching us. Translations are diluted that unfortunately is the nature of the process of translating. As far as the unlearned having access that is why some have been given the office or gifts of teaching and pastoring. That does not mean lording it over any body if you read the context in Ephesians 4:11-12 these gifts are for the edification of and equipping of the body and saints and not for self gain. Again there has been many things added and taken again by men. What I have said is going back and getting a more accurate understanding of context and culture. The doctrines of men and demons has diluted, added and taken away from the original. Yeshua Himself said I have come to restore all things. It is my opinion that part of that restoration is to understand His word to us in it's proper context. The Bible is written in a different language and culture than a modern day English speaking world as you put it.
I know that this is confronting as it was for me many years ago now. Some will agree and others will manifest. There is nothing new under the sun. I will not be arguing with you on this matter. Some will receive it others won't. That is OK. We are still all believers in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God of Israel and the Hebrews as our scriptures put it. The God of the believing gentiles who are grafted in. Romans chapter 11
Blessings and Shalom

There are many awakening. I've been blessed by interacting with some Torah-believing Christians of late. I'm a fan of the ancient.
