Full video on main channel: "Learning Greek or Hebrew? Avoid these 5 Mistakes!"

I prefer rote memory. It works and always has. Kids learn fast via immersion? Well after 7 years of they sound and write and talk like a 7 year old. Polyglot advise is like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant telling you how to do what they just do.

I took 1st Year Greek formally 6 times at various seminaries and read almost every beginning greek textbook available and using Biblingo for 2 months did more for me than all of that grammar-translate stuff all together

0:10 "The great gain was that I was very soon able to understand a great deal without (even mentally) translating it; I was beginning to think in Greek. That is the great Rubicon to cross in learning any language." C. S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy

You can't escape translating at least in the initial phase, but true, this phase must be transcended if you're a fanatic in a good sense :)

Thank you Biblingo. May God bless your efforts

Very true. Thanks for the reminders

In my experience, the best way to practice going faster is to listen to someone reading a passage full speed while you try to read it. If you fall behind, don't pause the video, find your place in the reading and try to keep up. If you do this, you'll get better at keeping up, and you won't have time to translate anything into English. You don't need to pick easy material for this. You don't need to understand everything as it comes. Whatever you do understand will be understood in Greek.

Lets GOOO!!

Fan of podcasts

Thank you so much Kevin for covering a whole new aspect of this conversation with the English versions being different from one another as well! I think this whole Wes Huf on Joe Rogan podcast made more people get interested in the Bible than it got people away from it so all Glory to the one who is, who was and who is to come!! ☺️🙏🏼

Is there audio to the stories?

13:03 Your reference to Socrates is not directly related to this subject. Plato wrote about it in Phaedrus (274e-275b). Socrates said his concern was that it weakens memory, fosters superficial understanding, and discourages dialogue. He had a point.

“Nearly identical” and “word for word identical” are completely different. Wes was wrong. Period.

"Earliest and best: codex Vaticanus"... Vaticanus is one of the most incoherent and error filled manuscripts discovered! That does not qualify as best!

Thanks. This has been really helpful. I concur with your assessment that definitions matter. While I am not in full agreement on the matter of Aspect (there may be place for a redefinition or contribution to the discussion, which Campbell seems to be doing). I think you dealt with your disagreement fairly and graciously. I applaud you for a scholarly response, yet, abounding in grace. Campbell does seem to suggest that his definitions are the standard or common understanding. However, linguistically, there is a difference. I don’t mind that. I think he has the right to contribute and even redefine terms for the purpose of his study. However, this redefinition may be a problem when linguists are using the same words but with different meaning or sense. My question (in the area of linguistics is), should we allow modern linguistic development to reshape how we interpret or perceive ancient texts? But that is a different discussion. I appreciate your post. It’s been most helpful. I hope Campbell does not take offense. I thought this video was better than your first.

Loved the content, however, your delivery sounds like you are reading prompts and do not truly understand your subject

Excellent. Loved this!

Hi-first time viewer-great content-but your delivery is TOO MUCH. I have to apologize for my complaining about you, the messenger-but you are talking to me as if I am stupid.

Informative!!!

Well done! Well done! Well done! Not sure if I can praise this video and its explanation of textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible in a higher manner. It certainly gets scary when someone like Wes Huff gets a platform like Rogan to share his views. But having a view from a reliable scholar like you Kevin certainly helps separate the wheat from the chaff. Thank you.

I find this topic fascinating

If nerd is right, Jesus is a liar. 🤔 sounds like he works on the NA28. Well, the synagogues Jesus was preaching in only used the Septuagint. Wonder why He didn’t catch this. I’m sure we are right and not the Greek speaking Pharisees. So thankful for prideful internet controversialists in comic book t-shirts. My goodness, the pride of man

Dr. Staples' room looks absolutely intimidating. Powerblocks on the floor, bookshelves loaded, what looks like his bed in the room. Lift, read, sleep, repeat.

I have a humanities degree from a good university and I NEVER learned tense-mood-aspect. I’m reading a Greek grammar book and the TMA stuff is hard to digest lol. But I love Biblingo’s method. I’m 25% through the Greek course

Romans 7:25. I thank God for His salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of this, on the one hand, I myself serve the law of God with my mind; but on the other hand, with the flesh, I serve the law of sin. (A Faithful Version)

I have a hard to believing a man of God is misleading us. Grammar Translate works just find for teaching dead languages. Broadening the discussion to language in general is either disingenuous or a misunderstanding

When Jesus spoke these words (circa 29 CE) all foods had not been made clean yet. This would not happen until Peter was given the vision circa 45 CE and the gentiles were invited into the family fold. However the gospel of Mark was written circa 70 CE - when there was still many ongoing debates within the church about this topic. Thus I seem to agree with those who want to put it in parenthesis. The scribe/author was probably making a clarifying notation about an important misunderstanding and disagreements that was plaguing the early church with debates and disunity.

Super good stuff! Your careful linguistic and grammatical analysis is something I wish was more common in biblical scholarship.

Thanks Kevin for this great Christmas present... thanks for taking the time to explain these passages

Wait, aren't we using modern interpretation when saying we can talk about future events in the present? What are the other examples of this throughout ancient literature of the time that are not biblically related?

Interesting observation.

This is why I want to learn the biblical languages SO MUCH! Thank you for posting this. 🙏🏻✝️❤️

Jesus ♥️

Do you have biblical aramaic (chaldean)?

If jesus didn't eat pork why Christian are eating pork...Muslims are not eating pork so Muslims are true followers of jesus🤔

Can't believe I missed this livestream 🤦🏻‍♂️ do another one soon pls!

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question at the end. I wasn't expecting that, just thought I would throw it out there and see what happens. I do not know Hebrew, but have been trying to figure out how Daniel 9 should best be translated for over a year now. With A.I., it's easy to keep debating various conclusions and come to a solid translation, but I haven't gotten to run that question by too many people who know Hebrew well

Does the app include the Textus Receptus for the New Testament and the Ben Chayyim for the Old Testament (Tanakh), or only the modern Critical Text?

Such a good paper, great to see this conversation captured, well done!

Speaking as someone for whom English is the second language, the grammar-translation method is certainly a helpful tool in adding your understanding of the language (just as a dictionary is for anyone). But (and this is a big BUT) your fluency depends largely on you employing the full range of your senses to appropriate the language (hearing, speaking, seeing things that correspond to a word/phrae, etc.) to your day-to-day life. The same has been my experience with Koine Greek..

I just found your channel. Thank you for sharing.

What about using the metaphor of "cleansing"? To describe an erasure of pollution?

At around the 27 minute mark, the "I believe in unicorns" vs "I believe in {insert political candidate}" example was fantastic! Same words "believe in" but definitely different meanings and connotations. Another example too: if someone close to me is facing a challenging situation, and I encourage them by saying "I believe in you", that is definitely a trust/relational use of the word. Anyways, I used to think of the phrase, "believe in Jesus" as more the unicorn meaning, but now I see it as having a more relationship meaning after watching this video.

Looking forward to reading the part in election, as that was the topic of my MA capstone paper in seminary.

Should be interesting

very much forward to reading these.

Reading through Hana Filip's chapter, "Lexical Aspect," in _The Oxford Handbook of Tense and Aspect_. She distinguishes of course between lexical aspect and aspectual class, but then goes on to say that aspectual class is used interchangeably with Aktionsart (p. 725). How is this different from Campbell's definition of Aktionsart? Is there some nuance that I'm missing, such as aspectual class is the meaning of the VP/sentence before coercion has taken place (i.e. looking at the verb with its raw, semantic/lexical value plus the non-verbal entities)? (Bear in mind, I'm fairly new to this.)

it's complicated
