Well, good evening everyone. It is good to see everyone back. I know last week was somewhat of an anomaly because of the weather and Several of you were out. I did put the it was the first time we'd ever put one of these classes on live stream.
So if you weren't here, and you had the opportunity to watch the live stream. I hope that was helpful. If you didn't watch the live stream, hopefully you caught the audio either way. Last week was our first pop quiz and.
And tonight is pop quiz to the wrath of Khan. It's pop quiz another pop quiz. So hopefully you at least did the work from the book from last week because the quiz is based on that it is The prepositions, but we're not doing it right off.
The thing I'd like to do before we go into that is I'd like to go over our lesson for homework. So if you would take out lesson 9. We're going to do our homework first. Then we are going to do the quiz and then we're going to do tonight's lesson.
And while you're opening your books I want to give you a heads up on something else if you are planning to come to the next class. Which is? Beginning our two-year program. It's going to be the startup of our new two-year program Survey of the Old Testament eight weeks in class.
You will need to purchase a book but this book is not just for this class this book will also function as the book for the Survey of the New Testament, and it is the believers Bible commentary. Edited by McDonald.
You if you look that up on Amazon it runs right around $19. It is a very good commentary. I've used it for years and So not only will it function for this class and for the New Testament class it'll also function in your Bible study.
It'll function in your yours as a Bible student. It would be a nice tool for you to have. So so if you're coming to the survey of the Old Testament class I want to go ahead and recommend that you purchase the book.
I will have copies of the syllabus next week to hand out to you for that class. Because there is one Thing that you're going to need to do prior to the class is one article in the in the in the commentary that I want You to read before the first class.
So I'll have all that information to you next week and class begins on March. I think it's the 19th because we get two-week break, so we'll have this class this class ends. And then we have a two-week break before the next one starts.
Everybody good know what we're doing all right. Let's look at lesson nine words formed by combining with prepositions. Combining with prepositions, this is something we do in English as well, and this is a Something that it's it's good to learn and see how these work.
Some of these combinations were formed by the Greeks others are English words formed with Greek roots. So the first one on the list number one, what's the answer there mark on number one? That's right number two.
Alan. That's right number three. John Didn't do it. Okay number three Nancy. Hey, that's right number four. I Didn't call it on you, but it's okay. Okay, that's right number five the C is right number five Johnny.
All right last one number six. Manoa. Yeah, thank you very good. Okay, so that's that's those and you see how it takes para. Which is the is the Preposition for being beside something what we think of the word parallel is based on that same prefix or preposition.
And so we have those words that are based on that probably to me the most interesting one is Parabola, you see that one. That's number three. That's where we get the word parable parable. Parable is what I'm asking.
What is a parable an Example, that's right. It's but the word parabola means to throw alongside. It means to set something alongside something else, so it's it's a it is an example. It's it's it's it's saying the the huh?
Yeah, you know when Jesus tells the story of the prodigal son. That's a parable and it's meant to go alongside the truth and give an example of this truth of the love of God. Right and the and the two brothers which represented the nation of Israel and the Gentiles and all of those Things and so you set it alongside.
There's another word, which we're going to see later tonight or next week. I forget. It's the word hyperbola. And you've heard the word hyperbole in English. What is hyperbole? Exaggerated so the where a parable would be setting something alongside Hyperbole is when you give it like I'm I could eat a horse.
I'm so hungry. I could eat a horse. That's hyperbole no one can literally eat a horse, but You can eat horse meat, but you can't eat the whole horse, but the idea but the idea is the same. It's it's whether you're using parable or hyperbole.
I do believe Jesus used hyperbole for instance when he said if your right eye causes you to sin cut it out. I don't think that Jesus was literally telling us to take a knife and literally gouge out our eye.
Even though sometimes it feels like that would probably be the easiest way to deal with some sins. Would be to just cut our hands off or cut our eyes out, but I think those are Hyperbole those are exaggerated examples of a truth.
Somebody's here. Yes, you can come in and use a restroom dear. If you go down the hallway, it's on the left right when you pass the double doors, okay. Now that's hyperbaric that's that yeah that deals.
Yeah. Yeah, that's something different. Yes, sir. Okay, so that's our first six the next is Beginning at number seven. I'm we're just going to go through them for the for the sake of time the first one is J that's right next one is K epigraph O is where we get the word epigraph next G next Very good next H very good next in.
All right 13 Oh 14 L 15 and 16 All right. Episcopal. Episcopal what was what we talked about that last either last week or the week before what are we what what English word? Do we get from Episcopal?
Episcopal right means a church that functions under the oversight of an overseer. Episcopal means oversight or overseer. Roman Catholics have the Pope Anglicans have the Archbishop of Canterbury that is the overseer of the church.
Those are called Episcopal Governments, then you have Presbyterian governments which have a group of overseers called Presbyteros or presbyters or elders and that's that's a Presbyterian form of government.
That's that's a form of government. We have here at this church means there's not one person who is overseeing. But there's a group of men who oversee the church and then you have Congregational government, which means everybody gets a vote.
That's very American. That's also very unbiblical. Yeah, I said it come at me. The most dangerous thing in the world is democracy. Because in a day a pure democracy 51 can take away what the other 49 have amassed.
That's not part of the class that goes back to the ethics class. All right, so Number 17, what is it be like Victor? That's right next s 19. That one I believe is our. Yeah are the point of orbit far from earth the apogee.
The word gee is earth and so apo gee number 20. Why? 21 Q right number 22 W. Yeah. The the aspirin now, that's an important word the aspirin. Does anybody know where we would find that word in the Bible?
That's right. The the the ones who have been scattered like seed. Because spora is seed right, so The a spora the diaspora those who have been scattered Throughout 23 Yep, paraousia the peruse is the word we tend to associate with the coming of Christ 24 you.
Now what is what is the prefix or not the prefix but the preposition auntie mean? Against I've been thinking about I wanted to mention that when this week if you have trouble remembering that if you think about someone who's Against something they're anti that thing, you know, I'm a I'm a an anti Abortionist because I don't believe in abortion.
I'm against abortion. So that word in English Means against and in Greek it does as well. Yes, sir. Yeah, exactly. And it would be auntie Christoph's it would be the one who's against Christ. That's right.
Very good. And then where were we? 25 X that's right. It's auntie face auntie face and now the next one, you know me. I love pictures. So this one is a little bit more interesting. You've got the the pictures the drawings.
Let's walk through those. What is the what would be the first word the word for man? Anthropos, that's the one that's in the square. All right, the next word for right. Huh, what'd you say? Grafo that that's that's the word that that's that's the one that's there.
It's graph a graph. Oh Graph a is actually a feminine word when you when you apply the standard of Whether it's masculine feminine or neuter. It's a it's it comes up as feminine has graph a at the end.
But when you when you add the Omega at the end, it's it changes it somewhat slightly. All right. So next one skin derma grave tapas. Law. Namas that's right. That's an important word to namas laws is isn't is a word.
Yeah, anti gnomion one who's against the law. Treasure. They saw us. Seed Spora, yeah. Yeah and earth. It's either gay or cosmos it depends on how it's used typically the word cosmos refers to the world.
You know for God so loved the world that's cosmos. But if you hear the word if you see earth. That's gay. You typically that's the trans. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's the world, you know, don't love the world nor the things in the world, you know those it's it's it's it's got A different it's sort of like house and home.
Can they be synonymous? Yes, but they both have nuance of meaning and. And it's useful to distinguish see uh-huh. Shining Phaneros or Phaneros. Yeah and thrown. They're on us, yeah, they're on us very good.
Okay. Pronunciation check. How would you pronounce the first word? Or just give me the letter. But how would we say that? I lay loose. All right next word J and how would we say that? They saw ruse. Yeah.
Next e. Yeah. Epiphania. Epiphania. Yep, because it is the the the the epsilon iota make the a sound. Next. Yeah, they oh, it's another use of the word God. So that is D Next I Parousia six very important word Jesus Seuss number seven Legay and that is H Number eight.
Okay. Thank you. Yeah, that would be C number nine F gase and Number ten. Yeah. It's not right. The book has made a mistake. Can you believe it? Somebody published this thing charge money for it and that's the second one.
That's right. What should it be? Everything okay. Okay. Para ballet, there should be a lambda there before the last letter. So. So you could it is still a but it the but. Mm-hmm. Yeah, so there'd be lambda a lambda a to there for the last two letters.
All right. Now, let's go to the meaning check. Now. This is important because this is going to be part of your quiz. Oh Yeah. So just keep in mind Number 11 Epi means on that's right Number 12 Thanos.
It's in torch, that's right. Now. What about effort epiphany? T which means shine upon and think about that if if if Thanos means torch Epiphany is the same root word with the prefix which is the preposition Epi on so torch or Light and light upon or shine upon.
Yep. Okay. 14 s treasure 15. All right, that's right. It's a parable. Due to 16 M that's right. It's of God because of the Thay you when would it not be of God if that's still in the genitive? It's written that way, but it wouldn't be of God if it follows a.
It follows a preposition. It follows a preposition. It would not say of God. No, it would still be they ooh. They ooh doesn't mean it has to have the of they ooh. It means it's in the genitive, but if the genitive receives the preposition prior to it, it doesn't need the of.
So, I mean this is just a translational issue. If you in ordinarily, you know. It's simply by how you're saying it. If it doesn't sound right to have the of leave the of out if you if you feel like you need the of put the Of in but if there's a preposition you shouldn't need the of.
Okay. Where were we? 17 namu of law just same thing said preposition or genitive 18 V word that word that's right. 19 you out. 20 why because I said so no why. 21 X that's right oppa from. 22 W's through that's right.
23 Against that's right and 24 That's right. Peruse. Yeah, we're peruse. Yeah, it technically is visitation. They say Christ's coming. Anytime we see the idea of peruse it's the visitation of Christ. It refers to a second coming, but it doesn't mean Christ's coming.
It means visitation. So. Yeah, yeah, yeah say yeah, that's a cognate in English yeah taking it over yeah and The next one is our Bible verses now mark and I were talking about this before class. It's easy if you know these verses to just plug the words in.
One of the things that I do when I'm going through this because I'm going through the book as well. You know, I've been through it before but I'm I have a new book and I'm I'm writing. You know the answers as I go what I do is I I don't read the English words.
I just try to read the Greek first to translate it. Then I go back and I read the whole thing to see if I've translated it correctly. So the first word is Don't lay up for yourself treasure on earth right and then for where your Treasure is there will your Cardia your heart.
We know that whatever the namas Law says it says to those who are under the namo. Which is still the law in English. It doesn't necessarily have to change. It's changing in Greek because it's going from being the object of the to.
It's it's changing its form whether it's a subject or the or the object and and and all those things is why it would have the different ending that every mouth may be stopped in the whole world be accountable to God because by.
That's a good important word ergo on where we get the word Energy right erga ergonomic, you know ergo on and then Of law because it's in the genitive and it doesn't yeah. By works of law or the law you could add that you could add the article.
No flesh shall be justified. The Lord Jesus will destroy the lawless one by thee. This one's a little difficult because you you in your mind. You're you thinking about how it's how it comes in your Bible, right?
Because most of you are probably familiar the Lord Jesus will destroy the lawless one by thee and. Then you think about what word your Bible uses what word did y 'all translate it as? Appearance brightness.
Breath. Well, actually the word is happy epiphany. I remember what we said Phineas means torch or light. So this would be actually a translation of the word splendor or brightness. It's that would be so that would be what that word is is translating there, but brightness is certainly Acceptable translation and it's the brightness of his what of his peruse EOS his Return or his visitation is he will destroy the lawless one.
Simply by the very glory of his presence. You think of Moses coming down off the mountain when he was in the presence of God and he shined to the point where the People couldn't even look at him. Imagine the face of your Savior when he comes in Flaming fire to bring wrath on his adversaries.
The Bible says This the sword of the Spirit will come out of his mouth like a or the the words will come out like a sword from His mouth. I mean, it's just an amazing picture and it's going to destroy his adversaries.
So that's the the splendor or the brightness of his return therefore comfort alelus. One another or one another. Yeah with these Words very good. Let me look back at it real quick where we at. Yeah, I see the oops along there.
I Don't know. I Honest, I just gonna have to give you the answer if I don't know. I have to look it up. What causes it to be plural? But they're just like Huh. That's the only difference in those two words and one is plural and one is singular.
But I'm not sure how it functions in other words because there must like you said, there's a rule. That's that's that's functioning here. And I don't think it's just the addition of the oops along there because that can also Make something into a genitive as well.
So I'd have to look that up as to what's causing that to be plural because I don't know Ralph top of my head. Sorry, mr. Frank. I would have to look that up. But yeah you but you're right though that one is plural and the other is singular.
All right page 52 the greeting is in my hand. Palu Paul this is my mark in every Epistle epistle a this is how I graph a right Palos apostolos Paul an apostle of Christ Jesus. Through the will of God to the Saints in Ephesus faithful in Christ Jesus grace to you and Epon a which is a pain a which is peace.
Appa from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ blessed be the God and Father Pater of our Lord Jesus Christ. This this sentence obviously uses the word God uses the word Jesus use the word father uses the word Paul an apostle.
But the word that probably is some of the more important words here are dia and and chi. Those are your prepositions and your conjunctions. That's that's the words that are really because because words like Jesus you're gonna remember that one probably most easily words like Christos Theos.
Words like that are because and when you see people's name Abraham Dawid these these these are gonna stick with you. In fact as I was telling mark again, we were talking earlier we're at the end of the Semester at the end of the term our last class.
I'm gonna bring in all the words We've learned on a sheet. We're gonna go through and just see how many you know right off the top of your head and the ones you're gonna know. Best are the names. Because they are so similar to what you already know and the cognates the words that are Transliterated into English cardia, you know, that means heart because of cardiac the words You're gonna have the most difficulty with are the words that don't sound or look like our English words, but yet you'll still know them.
Because we've gone through them in class, so you'll see how well you've done. It'll be like a personal Evaluation of how much the class has taught you but here's the thing you guys are reading Greek words.
You're sounding out the letters that was part of what the goal of this class is you've already come so far In just a short amount of time. So so be be proud of yourself. So that's the end of lesson 9 now we're going to Take a quiz.
And the quiz is on the prepositions now. I'm going to ask you to close your notes. Was if you had your notes open it wouldn't be a quiz. It would just be transferring from one page to the other.
You know how to look up the information, right? Yes, but that's not a lot. I learned from the best.
In this regard, here's the thing in. Well, I'll give it to you first and then I'll explain. This has got to be the easiest quiz in regards to what I've given you. I've given you so much. So don't don't think you need your notes.
I don't think you do. Especially the fact that we just went over your homework. Overall, by the way. If you haven't yet, we need to pass this around and sign in. So please do that put the date at the top.
Today is the 13th, isn't it? You'll do that put 213 there for me Noah and then pass it on by. That's why I'm saying the answers are there so. The question is do you know The you know how they're functioning, you know how these words function.
Let me explain before we start. While they're coming around I'm going to explain. I see some of your trumpet a bit. This is the very same thing. I put on the the board last week if you watch the video.
It's a very same picture just better drawn. I drew it on my computer. I Put what each of these is over in through just in case it was confusing to you what I was trying to get across with the arrows and the the answer key word list is on the right side of your paper, so If you're having trouble remembering glance over there and see try to do it without looking at the word list first.
See what you remember and if you have trouble jump in and look at it. Come that conclusion. I'll give you give you every one time to get finished. You may begin. Are we ready? Ready to go through everything.
All right, just for the sake of the audio because I did have it paused there is an error on the quiz. Para is spelled Papa and that is my bad. So I apologize I will. I will try to ensure to change that on subsequent lectures and lessons.
Too late tonight though. That's why I didn't send the syllabus out already, by the way. The syllabus for the next class is written. I spent all day yesterday writing the syllabus for the octave for the Old Testament course and but I didn't send it out yet because I have yet to proofread it and Took it took long enough to write it much less have to sit and proofread the whole thing.
Okay, so Let us go through the answers. Take your quiz. Make sure your name is at the top. Hand it to the person next to you. Flip with the person next to you. And we're gonna we're gonna grade one another's work now, that's fine.
And by the way, I wrote a verse up here. And we're after we do the quiz. We're going to go over this verse together. Just as a addition to what you're doing in your book. I want to make sure that we're not just reading through the book.
You can do that on your own. I want to give you some other exercises and things that you can do. All right, so the Greek preposition quiz the very first one at the very top in the center the word is over the Greek word is Epi, that's right.
Epi oversee the episcopos. All right moving clockwise down. The one that's going out of is Eck and we remember that from Exegesis, that's right. That's right moving down clockwise away from is Appa and we think of like Apostles one who is sent or away or sent from.
And Apostate is one who goes away from the church going this way going clockwise. Yeah. So Next one down is against and that is Auntie. Continuing around the circle beside is para Papa. Going up Toward is Pras.
Pras can also be translated with In the beginning. Was the word and the word was with God? Okay, or Lagos ain't Pras tan theon Pras tan theon with God. So it's it's typically it's toward but can also be translated with into is Ace or we say ace of Jesus.
I said he's the same thing. Epsilon iota Sigma. The the one inside at the top for in is in easiest one and. Then the last one the one that goes through is Dia we think of like diameter. Diametrically opposed all of those things.
All right. Give the person a there's nine of them. Everybody gets a ten point curve. So every one of them is worth ten points. Take it take away. However, many they got Out and how many of they didn't get out and give them a score out of a hundred and give it back to them.
Yes, you're getting ten points for free. So that way it's a hundred you start out with a hundred and for everyone. You got wrong take ten off. So if you miss three you got a 70. Miss for you got a 60.
Okay, how'd we do? Do we do good thumbs up? We're improving doing okay. All right. All right, okay. Let us read my poor handwriting and for the sake of Need a camera person. Can you see this you're over here Utos Gar a gap a sin fast time cosmon host a ton.
Oh, yeah time monogamy and oh Ken and a pass hop is to own a Salton May apostolate. I all aka zoane Aeonian for a huh? Yeah, ha. That's not it's actually haven't heard that as much as I thought I would this semester.
It's all great to me and it is all great. For a hundred cool points which can be handed in later for nothing. For a hundred cool points. What is the verse and if you don't get it, it's okay, we'll break it down.
I just want to see. Where do you see Jesus? Okay, you know that's you know, he said it. Okay. Said it it was you got it. Okay. It was a meeting in the minds in the back. It is John 3 16. Now let's uh, let's let's kind of break it down this is again we've already broken down John 1 1 John 3 and 16 it is Jesus speaking or.
At least we there's some debate about that by the way as to whether or not Jesus continues to talk in John 3 or whether John is giving a divine commentary on what Jesus said to Nicodemus. Whether it's his actual words or whether it's a commentary on what Christ said whether the conversation actually ends around verse 17.
Or well prior to verse 17, so that's but but I would say Jesus said it so you got. Okay, so who toast is not a word that we have learned yet. But it means in this way in this way it's a it's a in most of our English Translations, especially those that are based somewhat upon the King James rendering you would be the word.
So Where do we hear the word? So? For God so loved right, but it's the first word in the sentence and It actually is. I don't believe it should be translated so I believe it should be translated in this way a Lot of people have focused on the word.
So as it's trying to give an expression of how much God loved the world, it's not the point. It's in this way. God loved the world in this manner. God loved the world that he gave his son. Not how much is that a lot?
Yes, it's a tremendous amount, but that's not the point. The point is this is the way that he loved the world in this way. The word gar is for and Typically that doesn't come at the beginning of the sentence in Greek, but it does in English.
So it would be for in this way. So just don't let that bother you that would actually be here in English the four would come first. But in Greek it rarely does. Gar is for. It's a pirate gar. Agape sin is a rendering of the word agape.
Which we are very familiar with especially if we were Baptists. Because we've heard the word agape ever since we were little Used in some way to explain to us the love of God. God's love is agape love, right?
And agape sin is just another way of Putting that word together. It's still the same word. Hatheos is God now ha is a article. But we don't need to translate the article into English. So we would simply say for in this way loved God and then Tom Cosmond is the world.
In this way loved God the world, but again, that sounds funny in English. So in English we would translate it in this way God loved the world. The word order in Greek will not always follow the word order in English.
Because it doesn't need to the word order in Greek does if how many of you've ever seen Young's literal translation? Young's literal translation Oftentimes does follow the Greek word order and it doesn't sound very pleasing to the English reader.
And it doesn't need to follow the Greek word order so we have in this way God loved the world. And then we go to the next clause. That he gave Tom son the word Booyan means son. All right. Tom Monaghan a.
What's mono mean? Disease you get from kissing, right? Mono, oh, come on. That's a bad joke. I'll take that out of the video. What's mono one? And ganae. Yeah like monotheism. What is ganae? Ganae if you remember I mentioned this several weeks ago ganae.
So we get the word the genesis means beginnings it's Ganesis, it's its genesis. We get the word genes the origin of something. It's genes the word is referring to where it originates the the idea of ganae is the beginning or the origin of something and.
So when Christ is called the monogamy It's referring to him as being the only Begotten he is the unique or only Begotten that's how I do think begotten is a Important theological term which I do think because a lot of them would say he's unique son.
Some modern translation say for God's love the world. He sent his own his unique son. Begotten is a word that is important to understand from a historical and theological perspective. We talk about Christ as the one who is begotten not made.
For Christ is not created, but he is begotten of the father. You say well, how do we define? Begotten he comes from the father from all eternity, but he is not Created by the father because he is from all eternity.
And that is a historic Understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity that Christ is not created, but he is begotten. And so that word has a very important theological history if you ever read the Nicene Creed begotten not made.
Okay, so monogamy is the word only begotten. All right, so we have etiquette in a Passa Pistula, so let's break it down. We have For God's love the world that he gave his only begotten son so that. That's this this would be so that statement Pass is all Ha Pistoon is actually the believing ones.
Yeah, so the. And this is a. This is referring to the believing ones all the believing ones. This is where oftentimes we hear the argument for the word whosoever. The word whosoever in the King James Bible is the translation of Passa Pistula.
Can it mean whosoever? Well, it can if I say All the ones in this room are Taking Greek. I Could also say whoever is in this room is taking Greek. You see how that can go can can be synonymous and how that would work so Passa Pistula.
It's not wrong to translate it whosoever, but it's not Specifically correct because more specifically it is all the ones believing and this is important especially when we get into the idea of Someone who says well, I believed when I was seven I'm saved now.
I say I don't care what you believe when you were seven. Are you believing now? Because it's not all the ones who believed it's all the ones who are believing. That's important. You say well, can somebody lose their faith?
I don't believe a genuinely saved Christian can lose their salvation. That's not the point. The point is if you are a Christian when you're seven, you're still going to be a Christian when you're 57. Because if God saved you he's going to continue to work out your salvation in you.
It's not something that's going to go away. Make sense. So that's how when somebody says oh, I was a believer when I was a kid. I say I don't care. Are you a believer now? Because it's all the believing ones.
So And then we have ice which is what this is a Epsilon Iota signal we just learned this priest or this this what? Into all right, so and Then he out on All right. So what is may may is a adversative not and then a pop.
Appalachia is perish. So Into he not perish that would be a weird way of translating it basically saying the all the believing ones will not Perish they will not enter into the perishing and Then but rather would have what?
Ionian is eternal comes in at the end and then life. You should know this one better than anybody. As your daughter's name is Zoe and so zoane is life. So they will have life Eternal rather than that, you know, but they will not have Perishing but will instead have life eternal.
So a lot of these words you have already learned that you've already seen these. What are they articles? You knew cosmos. Cosmon which is world. You knew agape, which is the word for love you knew Theos you knew into.
And there's you maybe you remembered not that's an important word. Megan Oita not may it never be, you know. That's the adversative the not so. This is just this is. Again, it's a verse you already know.
Try this with verses you don't know. Try this with things that were you're looking for words. That you know and break it down and pull it apart and look at look for the words. You know and when you get to a word, you don't know skip it and go to the ones you do know until you learn more.
Okay, so that's just breaking down a verse that most of us are familiar with John 316. All right. It is technically time for a break. I'm going to say this I Want to take a quick break because when we come back we need to do lesson 10.
That is our lesson for tonight to do in class. Am I correct with that that follows the soul of us? So take a break the restroom do what you got to do. Let's try and do five minutes and come back. All right, are we back?
Everyone back. I think we're missing Charlie. There it goes. All right. I had to correct a couple things because I'm not perfect either. As I was going through I miss mistranslated a couple things and if you took a picture take another picture because I made a mistake.
Host a is that and Gabe is Etokin that I got those confused and then ace Alton is in him the ones who believe believe in him. So that's an important I Had it I had it into him, but it's actually in him.
You can you could say they believe in to Christ, but it's more specifically they believe in Christ. And so Just like I said, you can take a picture if you want, but hate to make mistakes, but it all you know happens.
So I double-check my work during the break and wanted to wanted to clarify. Okay, so Let us now go to lesson 10. Lesson 10 is More of the alphabet we're going to be looking at the C Which is the word or excuse me the letter?
Where we would use the sound for X and I'll just read what it says. It says our word docks. Ology comes from the Greek word doxa, which means glory and logos. Meaning words of glory. How many of you know the doxology song?
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise him all creatures here below. Praise him all above ye heavenly host praise father son and holy ghost. Amen, that's a pretty common song, especially in liturgical churches.
You'll find it sung normally around the communion time and it's called the doxology or the words of glory. Glory be to God. Now combine para plus doxa and you get the word para doxa, which is the English Paradox, you know what a paradox is right?
It's a couple of physicians. Paradox. Come on a Paradox is a couple of doctors. No a paradox is Is something that looks like a contradiction until further investigation the Trinity is a paradox. It's not a contradiction, but it is a paradox because upon first Glance it looks to be a contradiction, but on further investigation you find that it is not in English.
We sometimes say an instead of a when the next word starts with a vowel. Greek makes a similar change with the preposition ek out of when that comes before a vowel. It'll be X. Just like the word exit or the our English word exit.
The meaning will stay the same. So rather than ek we might see exit. Ek Cosmo out of the world or out of world. X oiku out of house. You'll notice ek Cosmo is with a with a consonant X. Oiku is with a vowel.
The word begins with a vowel. And adas is the way or the path. X adas is what book of the Bible Exodus, right um. Now the throat clearing sound is the word. The letter. It's the letter we normally say key, but it's actually he.
But it looks like an X and that's the confusing part it looks like an X you think it would make the X sound. But in Greek it doesn't make the X sound like the the C makes the X sound the the key or he makes the sound and so.
And I've mentioned this earlier earlier lessons. Johan Sebastian Bach. It's not Bach. It's Bach. It's guttural. All right. So now let's look at some words that use these letters match the meaning at the right and It says no fair not attempting to pronounce the word so we're going to pronounce each of these words.
What is the first word? Cosmo. Cosmo. And what would Cosmo be? That's right. It's a crack in the earth. We would say chasm and notice. How do we spell chasm? Ch. Most of the time when you have the letter key in Greek when that word is changed into English or transliterated English.
It's not going to be spelled with a with a kappa. It's going to be or a K. It's going to be spelled with a ch a ch. Think of the next the next one number two. Christianos. It's the word for Christians.
Where were the Christians first called Christians? In the book of Acts. That's true. Antioch. It was in Antioch according to the writer Luke. Well, he's not wrong. I said you weren't wrong. But in the book of Acts it tells us that it was in Antioch that they were first called Christianos.
Yeah, yes, and we're gonna get there too. Okay next Chorus yeah, you ever you ever wonder why we spell chorus c-h-o-r-u-s. For the singing chorus rather than just k-o-r-u-s because that's how we say it.
It's because it has a Greek Background and in Greek if it's spelt with a key, it's going to have the ch in English. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep all right, the next letter next word is Chronos it's the word for time think chronological.
So it's letter D. Cherubim. Cherubim notice ch when we say it in English Cartes. It is paper, that's right. You ever heard the word cartographer? Person who cartographer is a map a person who who who reads a map?
And that's Cartes. Kaldaios. Kaldaios Is a Chaldean. I have a elder here who loves to make this joke. And since he's not here, I'll make it for him. He says he is a member of the International Council of the Chaldeans.
That means he likes to eat. He likes to chow down. And every time I hear the word Chaldeans, he'll say he's a Chaldean so. Anyway, that's Richard by the way, in case you didn't know brother Richard. Okay.
Where were we number eight Character which is Character right? It's the the likeness. And Kanaan. That's that one's kind of hard to say because remember when you have two up two alphas you say them both so it's Kanaan.
Kanaan. But in English, it's just Canaan. Canaan land we're heading to Canaan land, you know all the those songs and whatnot now. The word for Christ. This is exercise three. This is very important. This is going to give you a little bit of a history lesson on the word Christ somebody somebody posted on Facebook today.
That his name wasn't Yesus his name wasn't Jesus. His name was Yeshua and that it wasn't Christos but it should be Mashiach, which is Hebrew Yeshua Mashiach and I always get a little perturbed. I mean, I wasn't perturbed to this person because I don't think they were trying to make a statement necessarily.
But I've had people that try to want to argue that if if Jesus was a Hebrew we should use the Hebrew language when we. One time I was witnessing at a we had our evangelism booth out the fair an old boy come up to me.
He says how do you say the name of God? Nobody ever asked that because they want to have a pleasant conversation. Everybody who ever says that is because somebody along the way taught them how to say Yahweh and They want to make sure that you're not saying Jehovah and the same as for the people who want to make sure that you're saying Yeshua Mashiach.
Rather than yesu Christos or Jesus Christ. That's right, there was no J until the German language technically Jehovah is a Germanic adulteration of the Tetragrammaton and that's what I said. To the guy who asked me because I said Yahweh and he goes, oh you said it, right?
I said, I know I said it, right. I'm not here to debate you and I'm not a jerk. I just see yeah, you're pushing my jerk button. So I figure. But no. But this is you know. The people there's those people that come to your house on Saturday morning early they want to tell you about the awake magazine and the and the the Watchtower Bible and tract society.
They want to argue that you should call God Jehovah and Again I don't mind using the word Jehovah because it's a traditional name. That's in our King James Bible, and I don't have a problem with it. But I don't like it when people try to force that kind of Integrity on to the words.
I don't think Jesus cares that I call him Jesus and not Yeshua. But if you do wonder where the word Christos or Christ comes from, that's what lesson three is about. So let's look at it the word chrise Means anoint and think and here's how to remember that christening.
You know what a christening is, right and Chrise means to pour oil on something in the Old Testament the Prophet Samuel takes oil and chrise David is King. He anoints David is King in Luke 4 18. Jesus quotes Isaiah and applies it to himself.
He said the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has Christen, huh? Well, that's yes it is anointed but it's notice it's a christen it's it's Using the same word. But it's using it a little differently.
After the resurrection the disciples knew Jesus was the anointed one as shown in the prayer in Acts 4 27 the people of Israel were gathered together against your Holy Servant Jesus whom you did a chrisos you anointed christened means to anoint someone who's been anointed is called a Christos.
The spelling in English is Christ that's right. Christ Christ. Why is Christ. If everybody who's anointed is called a Christos. Why is Christ the Christos? Because he is the uniquely anointed one of God.
There were three specific People who were anointed in Scripture in the Old Covenant. It was the Prophet was anointed the priest was anointed and the King was anointed. Christ fulfilling the trifold role of Prophet priest and King is uniquely identified as the Christos or the anointed one.
All right now similar to that but not the same is the word charis. This is the word for grace. For by Cariti are you saved by grace? That's just remember the ending doesn't always change the meaning it just changes how it's used in the sentence.
Charismata means things you get by grace. See what your Bible does with 1st Corinthians 12 for now there are a variety of charismatone, but the same spirit now typically your Bible will translate charismatone as gifts.
Some Bibles will translate them grace gifts but really grace gifts is a is a Superfluous statement because if it comes by grace, it's a gift. Grace is a gift. And so if I say it's a grace gift as opposed to what a works gift if it's a works.
It's not a gift. So I mean it really doesn't. You don't have to you don't. Yeah, that's right I earned my gift. So it's a wage and not a gift, but What is a? English word that we use that comes out of this we identify Charisma.
First charismatic. That's what I was looking for because we there's a whole subsection of Christians that identify themselves Charismatic. Why do they identify themselves as charismatic. Because they believe in the operation of all of the gifts mentioned in the Bible as Being functional for today.
They are called the the charismatic Christians. On the other side of that or what you would call the cessationists the cessationists Believe that there are certain gifts that have ceased because they were Apostolic gifts.
The Bible talks about gifts that show a person as an apostle and we don't believe that those gifts Were meant to continue for all time. Certain such as the gift of healing and the gift of prophecy in the sense of speaking forth future events those are the the difference typically is what you call cessationism and charismatic sometimes charismatics prefer to be called Continuationists because they believe in the continuation of the gifts versus the cessation of the gifts.
But the word charismatic means personally believes in gifts. Yes. So Yeah, if I say you have charisma I'm saying you're a gifted person. Charisma is defined in the dictionary as a special quality of leadership that captures the popular imagination and inspires allegiance and devotion.
I know that only because It was quoted in a movie and I remembered it. But it was that and I gave a speech one time where I used that same statement. But the word charisma means a gifted person a charismatic person.
All right, looking at exercise five. We're gonna see the sound the letter C and it is literally like pushing your lips together. Making that noise and if we turn to the Bible after the book of Job, what Bible book do we come to?
The the psalm us Psalm us you ever wonder why the book of Psalms starts with a P. Because you don't ever say psalms. At least if you do I'd laugh at you. If he said turn to the book of psalms and we're gonna look at psalm 23.
Nobody says that.
My life at this point and I was given a Bible and so I came back. There you go now that.
That's that's funny though, I had never heard that and yeah. And I could see somebody seeing it that way and just dropping the s and saying palms, yeah. Uh. So psalms it would be psalm us psalm us. Remember in Greek you would pronounce it.
So you no matter how strange it might sound if you're seeking to use a raspy in pronunciation, you would say psalm us. Pesukas is the word for the soul without the us at the end. It is spelled in English is how.
Psyche psyche. Yeah, ps y Che the psyche so what is the soul and. In modern terms we talk about the the psyche or the the inner man, right? All right. Pesukas means to lie. So what's the English for that?
Nah, no. Psychology can't be alive enough. It's the word pseudo. Yeah, and if you ever took an English class, you know this you the word pseudonym Was spelled with a p s e u d o n i n y m. The pseudonym is what a false name pseudo means false and.
So we we're actually going to see this at the bottom of the page. How how that word that that that prefix pseudo is used all through the New Testament. All right. So let's do the scripture real quick.
The first man and the first what man anthropos autumn Adam was made into a living soul. Succane you are. Eck I'm gonna give you this in Certain translations you can translate out as from from so you are from your father the Diabolo the devil and You do the desires of your father Patras when he speaks a pseudos lie, he speaks according to his own nature because he is a Liar right pursue stays and the Pater the father of it.
All right now combination of the pseudos with other words. First you have pursuit of Delphoise. What is that? False brother. Then you have pursuit of apostoloid False apostle then you have pursuit of prophet on prophet on False prophet and then you have a pseudo Christ or false Christ the Bible learn that pre Prefix learn to pseudo as in see how it is used because it always means false pursuit of false Christ.
All right now We're gonna look at a couple more verses here chap top of chap top of page 56 stir up the charisma. The gift that would be gift. And then it's they Of God the gift of God which is in you.
The mathitas Disciples were first called Christianos Christians and Antiochia Antiochia, which is Antioch Daxa glory to Thea in the highest Chi epi gaze a rain a Peace, you know that because you know the verse because I don't we may have done that one already though goodwill towards Anthropos.
Anthropos men. Yep mankind. Now I want to say this about that that because I preached on this last Christmas. That verse actually does not say goodwill towards men. It says good goodwill towards those with whom he is pleased.
So it's kind of interesting that they would put it that way, but that's the way it's translated in the King James. But the the original is translated quite differently. The originals reads quite differently.
All right another letter Zeta. Zeta is. You know, we're talking about sound so. And it says here to make the dizzy sound kind of buzzes my tongue a little bit. Za own is. It's be it's like zoo or it's animal.
Zay loss Is a zealot. This is oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. It is a it's as a it's zeal and then Zay low taste is a Zealot, where do we see the words a low taste in Scripture? Simon the zealot, right? He was one of the followers of Christ.
He was the other Simon you have Simon Peter and Simon's a low taste or the zealot. It's also believed That it that well, I'm gonna go too far on this was some people believe that that When Jesus talked about The the ones who'd had their bloods mixed with the sacrifices by Pilate's men.
There's a Luke 13 that those were zealots because zealots were typically Anti-government Anti-establishment and if you read into that story, you'll see that there were men who Pilate had killed and had their blood sprinkled in with the sacrifices in the temple as a as an as a show of Contempt for them and they believed they were probably among the zealots because they were the ones who were they were attempting to Put down so that's just a side note.
All right, Zebediah's. Yep letter F. Zacharias. Yeah G Zach chaos. That's D's a chaos. Lazarus He Zoe Life. All right scripture Jesus Came ace bethany and Into bethany where Lazarus Lazarus lived whom Jesus had raised.
Necron necron remember like a neck. Necro means death necros means death. I know this is a horrible way to remember this but You know, I'm gonna say Maybe I'll not say it. There's a there's a word, huh?
I won't say those of you who know what it is. I won't I won't say it. But there's a word that uses necro as a as a prefix and it's a refers to something that's pretty gross. So we'll leave it be but Here's the interesting thing about this notice.
It's a necron Acne crone it's out of or from Death or dead, but it doesn't have the it doesn't have the article, but we would put the article in there. It will be from the dead. Is how we would do that, yeah raise you from dead.
Yeah. So sometimes the articles there and we don't translate it. Sometimes the articles not there and we do. Simply because we're trying to make it Sensible for the English reader. All right, Kai. And if ego I I threw Beelzebub.
Beelzebub or the devil cast out daemonia demons. Then through whom do your sons cast them out? Philippa's found Nathanael. Kai said to him we have found the one that Moses Moses. Say this next sentence.
Namo the law Kai. The prophet a prophet. I Wrote about Jesus son of Joseph. From Nazareth. Appa from Nazareth. All right. Very good. Well, we have reached lesson 11 and you'll see lesson 11 begins with a nice photo there for us to work on.
And that is your homework lesson 11 is homework lesson 12. Now. We only have two classes left tonight is class 6. So we have two classes left in your last class. My hope is to go over all the words that you've learned show you how much you've you've learned and also hopefully.
Encourage you to continue with your studies. Any questions. Let's end with prayer. Father we pray that you would lead us from this place Safely and bring us home safely and Lord that you would Use us to glorify you use our learning to glorify you Lord that we would not do anything simply to build up ourselves.
But to learn everything we can to build the kingdom of Christ. And we know Lord that ultimately it is the Holy Spirit that teaches us. So I thank you for him. And I praise you Lord for all that you've given us through your son and it's in his name.
We pray. Amen.
