So glad I said “Date” 😅
I would like to recommend the Webster 1828 dictionary which does have the biblical perspective. It’s excellent for bible word studies.
My favorite too!
Another way is to use the NET Bible with full notes on your computer or phone for FREE, if u do not have the $50 to buy the book. This newer translation shows WHY the translator chose a word in many places. My Greek class would have been so much better 100 yrs ago, if I could have had one then. God bless!
I recently found youngs concordance. It gives you the meaning which could be in greek or hebrew. Its very helpful cause it gives you the orginial meaning it was ment to be.
Thanks for sharing!
No problem! 😊
Honestly so glad I found this. I’ve been asking God for direction and what he wants me to do and I realized I’ve ignored always being called to teach and preach to others. And recently when I humbled myself before God and he removed my pride I’ve decided to rlly start studying his word seriously because I can’t speak to other people about Gods word if I’m speaking from my own understanding. So I felt called to study the Bible very deadly and even got notebooks for notes and now that I watched this video I’ll def get myself a Bible dictionary for better understanding. Thank you so much for this I’m actually rlly excited to grow closer to God more than ever and dive deep into his word. God bless you 🙏🙌
Everyone thought I was "too picky" or being extreme when I said I wouldn't bother going on a second date with someone unless I saw a future with the person.
abe books, or thrift books are really good places to find already used books and just new cheap books
Public libraries often have books for sale. I’ve seen Bible resources. Goodwill too.
I have tried word studies in the past. Sometimes it would feel so confusing. You explained it so well.
I found a Bible Commentary and a Bible Timeline for $1 each at library book sales. The library has Bible resources that you can check out.
I was coming here to suggest the public library. I wanted to glance before I posted just in case someone else did before me. Library has been a life saver for me bc I just can’t afford not even a dollar right now. But I have a long list of books (mostly suggestions from Faith lol) that I will get eventually!
1828 Webster is from a biblical worldview
BARS!🔥💯
I would recommend Webster’s 1828 Dictionary. This is Noah Webster’s original dictionary and he does give biblical references. As a matter of fact he used the Bible to compile his definitions. Any “webster’s” after are not truly his work; humanistic after the original.
1:40 hahahah I love it
Ollie's has pretty good deals on Bibles and resources.
Faith❤️. I have a teen daughter . How can I raise her to be a woman like you with firm commitments and convictions ?? Lord help me!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!! I love word studies!
I have bought several really nice resources, including a pristine copy of Strong's Strongest Concordance, from thriftbooks. I have also found a REALLY nice Chronological Bible on there.
thank you so much! this was very helpful!
Great information. TFS
This was great! So helpful! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Excellent teaching. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I love half priced books, but I have to be picky, because slot are ones people didn't want and unfortunately I learned that the hard way.
I LOVE your facial expressions! And also all your amazing videos! ❤️
Thank you so much!!
i think i woulda said purscise or pres cise you want em comfortable but you gota press em out its part of bold assertiveness of actualy communicateing ...so yep good luck in your relationship
My dad asking my mom “what do I have to do? Make an appointment?” And my mom was like… “yes you do weirdo.”
Yessssss thank u, this is correct, I usually go to phone this is where I have bible hub. I am trying to get LOGOS, BLUE.... BIBLE HUB IN SPANISH.🤷♀️ that's my better language gor bible. Gbu Faith❣️
Thanks for sharing!!
@@HowtoFaithALife Fairh may I algo suggest to you and anyone reading this post 📚 , there is also an app you can download on computer, laptop, phone, it is called E-Sword (I've been having and LOVE IT), At first it is comicated a little, I've been having for 1yr now and I'm still trying to figure out stuff (but obviously as I said my favorite language is spanish) this one is english, FAITH! Maybe you can show us after you learn it if you get the app. It has a dic, com, Dev, notes, sooooo much. Greek/Hebrew. Many authors.....and more.....thank u Gbu
Thank you for the tips! Is there anything I can pray for you?
I am the course developer at a Bible School. Those resources are really good! And it is nice more people get to know them through your videos. Yet, when doing word studies (without knowing the rules of the language and its literary context), it is very easy to misuse the Greek and the Hebrew and jump to wrong conclusions, which leads to a bad Theology. The context of the word is more important than its Greek root. And even if the same word is used in different passages, it doesn't mean its different meanings apply or that in some way those passages are connected. Doing word studies is super fun, but without a basic knowledge of exegetical fallacies, it can lead to a lot of random misinterpretations of the text.
Totally. We talk a lot about exegetical fallacies in my course Bible study bootcamp but here in this video, it's just an introduction to the task. Like D.A. Carson said in his 1996 book, Exegetical Fallacies, "I can only say you will make more mistakes if you fail to embark on such a study as this than you will if you face the tough questions and improve your skills." So, yes, the learning doesn't stop here, it just starts here!
That's so cool!@@HowtoFaithALife
BDAG (Greek) and HALOT (Hebrew and Aramaic) are extremely useful Lexicons as they tend to more comprehensive than the rest. They are a little pricey but you definitely get the bang for the buck. If you have Bible Software such as Logos or Accordance (my preference) you can usually buy the BDAG or HALOT as add ons!
Also William Holladay published an excellent Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon that I use often.
Greek and Hebrew are essential for exegesis.
Great video! How did you get the Hebrew text on your thumbnail or displayed in a video for that matter? I enjoy your content.
I would recommend a Greek-English lexicon for word studies over a bible dictionary or concordance. A common misconception is that a concordance will give you a definition. Concordances only tell you WHERE and HOW else that word is used in scripture but it does not tell you how it is used in your specific text. As for the hermeneutical approach, I would recommend a strategy of prioritizing the immediate context first, then chapter context, book, same author, same testament, and then entire Bible. This means it is in your least interest to see where and how that same word is used everywhere else in scripture (since immediate context most properly determines meaning of the word). Of course, it's still good to do a complete words study, but the benefits of spending the time to do a full study often do not outweigh just an immediate or chapter/book context study. The best way to double-check the meaning you decide on is seeing which definition a lexicographer also chooses.
Example: Eph 2:3
Most people believe the word "nature" (physis) is referring to an in-born guilt in this text. However -
The context of v1&2 indicate Paul understands our spiritual deadness / nature / being objects of wrath is due to "the way in which we once walked, among them we walked once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh".
The greek word theléma is used in Eph 2:3 to describe the type of deeds of the flesh done. This word’s lexical definition in Thayer’s is “willful, choice”, further indicating that what Paul has in mind is a nature from willful fleshly actions, not an unwillful state of birth.
this passage calls those without God "children" of wrath. Being "children of something" or "sons of something" is a Hebrew idiom that means "worthy of” the adjective. As in “son of thunder”, “children of light”, “son of perdition”, “children of God”, “son of wickedness”, and “children of the devil”. In each of the contexts in Scripture where this idiom is used, it refers to one’s status as a result of their personal actions and not a status resulting from one’s birth. So we should not understand "children of ____" to be indicating something about birth.
THAYER'S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON:
There are four definitions given for physis, of which one is "by birth". However, Thayer places our usage of the word (Eph 2:3) in definition 3 - “a mode of acting which by long practice becomes habit”. This helps us confirm that we have done a correct study of the word and meaning in Eph 2:3.
You're right but sadly many scholars (and "pastors") have biases and agendas (eg. to be loyal to "church traditions" and to be loyal to Augustine/Calvin) and so purposely use eisegesis (reading their bias into the text).
But your advice and examples will definitely help those who err through ignorance or through blindly following others.
The biggest error and misunderstanding is the Greek word "sarx/sarki".
Whole doctrines and beliefs have been built on the MISUNDERSTANDING of that word.
The NIV is disingenuous too because it (*WRONGLY*) translates it as "sinful nature" in Paul's epistles and correctly translates it as "flesh" in passages about marriage like Mark 10 & in 1st John 4:2-3.
[The NASB and KJV consistently translate it as "flesh" but this confuses some people too who think "flesh" means "body" - which is actually "soma" in Greek.
"Sarx/sarki" is "carnal nature/unredeemed human nature" but being honest about its true meaning would destroy their agendas and doctrines of man].
Jason Staples (not someone I otherwise know so I'm not in a position to recommend him) has really interesting blog posts about the NIV and "sarx" and how the NIV weren't willing to back down when their error was explained...which proves it is PURPOSEFUL.
@@leenieledejo6849Wow, I didn't know all of that, thanks for all of that info! I will have to do some more learning.
@@343jonny You're welcome. Thanks for your comment that I replied to!
Which is best book Bible send link pls
Hey there, Noah Webster 1828 dictionary has a biblical perspective
Seriously, it’s just easier to learn Greek and Hebrew than to go to all that trouble you mentioned. Once you learn those languages and read lots of the Bible yourself you pick up on patterns and get the more of the sense of the word seeing it in context with other Greek words and as part of a Greek construction as opposed to one Greek word shoved in the middle of English ones and viewed in isolation and being forced to make sense. Also, it’s nice to not be held hostage by any one else’s interpretation and you can dig out cool nuances like middle voice or idioms on your own. A good translation is like watching a color television - but knowing the language puts the Bible in 4k! Just make the effort and learn the language! Free yourself from other people’s thoughts and experience the Bible for yourself! You will be glad you did - totally worth it!
How did you study these languages? In class? Online?
I know what you mean about not being able to escape from others' views and agendas sometimes. I mean, I couldn't believe it when a Bill Mounce Learning Greek book I picked up to look up in someone's library had a THEOLOGICAL BIAS in his introduction!!
I mean, it's unbelievable.
As someone who has studied modern languages at school, university and has worked in translation, I know that the first rule of working in languages is to be OBJECTIVE.
In the secular world of translation, the biggest taboo (and you can get fired for it) is to impose your personal view on a word.
But Bible scholars and translators (even KJV, although modern ones are worse) did it and do it all the time 🤦🏻♀️
What about words that have no translation to English? When we have the original languages via the internet we are using for the tube, why live in Babel?
Do you know a commentary that references verse by verse??
The Jamieson, Faussett, and Brown Commentary is very good, and yes it makes its commentary verse by verse with references to the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. To buy it is about $100. There is a free version somewhere on the internet. I have the set of three books I bought at a used book store some years ago and just like Faith is explaining how to do a word study, I use them all the time. Hope this helps, Miss Monique 🙏🌷🙏💗🙂
You will inevitably take passages out of context when you translate scripture. Even if you translate a word or sentence exactly right it was still most likely understood differently in the time of writing. We impose our worldview to the bible, not the other way around.
If you can mimic a worldview that knew most only east mediterrian geography, lived in polyteistic world, knew that Jesus would return on their livetime, might have been persecuted or maybe not, and dozens of things we don`t know as we don`t know who wrote most of the bible, knock yourself out.
The bible has no inherent meaning, it is just a book with no world view. We impose our belief of the christian view onto bible and find the justification always from some book, as the bible is not unilateral.
This is not to say you shouldn`t study bible, just a reminder that there are multiple truths inside it.
