I've been interested following this side discussion.
I have a question for both of you, if I may . . .
IF a teacher does not have the gift of teaching from the Holy Spirit, how much does it matter if they do or don't go into the original languages, or even compare 2 translations?
. . . or . . .
IF a teacher does have the gift of teaching from the Holy Spirit, won't the Holy Spirit give the teaching with or without the original language studies?
Much love!
The "original greek"....... talking about this in public.......ITs what we call "trademen's language"...
What it does.....what it is designed to do, is influence your opinion, by presenting you with the false concept that "because i know something you dont, then im superior", which then proves you must listen.
Its like someone showing up here and declaring that God came to them, personally, and gave them a personal message for you.
In other works, its FAKERY that tries to get you to sit there with your brain turned off so that they can pump it full of their darkness.
This also works in life, where you have this trademen's language that they use on you, to confuse you and manipulate you, and rob you. $$$$$$$
For example. Lets say its the middle of July, and its really hot weather, and your AC Unit just died.
So, you call the AC man, and he comes out..
After an hour its working again, and he says....>"well, your start relay was suspect, ...so, i diagnosed it, and discovered that it had become incompatible with your unit so i exercised it, after necessary evaluation, and resolved the unit's issue that was being corrupted by this start relay".
Ok, see that? That is the AC man, talking trademan's language, over your head, so that you can't understand what he's actually saying.
Car mechanics do this.
Doctors do this..
And why ? To manipulate you. Its the same reason that a lot of self righteous pride filled bible correctors misuse the "original greek" or the "Latin" against a REAL BIBLE while they stand in a Pulpit with a wooden Jesus Icon hanging on the wall behind them.
So what did the AC guy actually say? He said....>"the on/off switch was broken, so i put a new one in".
On/Off switch is a "start relay"...
See that?
So, you pay $150 for the "start relay", or you would have paid $15 for the On/Off Switch.
"gotcha"...
Now, its a good idea to study all you can, but its the best idea to know the truth, as its the Knowing of the Truth that sets you free, and set's your audience free.
And THAT is the goal.
To be FREE IN CHRIST, Delivered, and filled with the Spirit..and full of SOUND DOCTRINE.... and then out there doing the work for the Master, no matter where you are found.
Thats the eternal game plan.
