00:27: That's the the meaning of the word yeah atonement is means to take two parties that are divided and to make them reconcile and to bring them back to be at one and so the word atone means to take two things that are apart and make them at one so atonement is at one man and that's what Christ does when he's on the cross he he separates or he we who are separated from God because of sin are brought back together to be at one with God through the work of Christ yeah all right good evening um this is class three of our introduction to Greek vocabulary and my hope is that you have all done your homework if you have not done your homework then we'll be going over it in class however I hope you did do your homework because my goal is that you would be working on these things on your own and then when you're here you come here for correction not just to get the answers because that's there's really no benefit in me just telling you the answers you know it's better if you try to find the answers yourself you know they what is the old adage if if you tell me I might remember if you show me or if you tell me I won't remember if you show me I might remember but if you involve me I will remember and that's what learning is learning is involving you in the process if I just tell you something or just show you something you're probably not going to remember it but if I involve you in in discovery then you'll learn that's what learning is it's a discovery process and you're creating neural pathways your your brain has all of these these neurons that fire and and they create pathways whenever they learn something new and that's why you were able to walk as a child because you started by falling down and as you began to take a step forward and you're walking you were creating neural pathways in your mind that reminded you that when I fall forward I need to step forward and that's all all falling is is control all walking is is controlled falling you know you you motivate your weight forward and you step motivate your weight forward and you step if you motivate your weight forward and don't step what happens you fall so you learned is it that's why when you're a kid you walk like this because you're because you're you know that's how babies walk you know they kind of they pat the foot because they don't want to fall down all right but eventually you're running and it's all because you've you've created these mental pathways these neural pathway you've you've you've learned something and now it's like where they say you wouldn't once you ride a bike it's like riding a bike why do they say that because every one of you who learned how to ride a bike if you're physically fit enough as a child just jump on a bike today and ride because you've got that neural pathway well that's what that's what this homework is supposed to do for you it's helping you use this this new alphabet and and so I hope it's been I hope it's been helpful make sure everyone please sign in on the on the register if you haven't it's made its way around here if there's anyone who didn't get to sign in obviously Alan wasn't here to sign in so make sure he gets that so how we doing let's start with a little therapy Greek therapy how are we yeah yeah well they say that that's true in fact John MacArthur makes that that he said that's why he never typed never got into typing his sermons he still writes his sermons even even now because he said writing one is slower than typing so you're more thoughtful as you go through it but well unless you're really slow typist and typically writing is slower than typing and but it also it involves a movement of the hand that typing doesn't involve so I'm a typist I type all my sermons but not usually it depends it depends I don't I I'm next year or maybe later this year I am going to teach a preaching class as part of Sovereign Grace Academy it's going to be either a one or two day intensive for people who are interested in preaching and I'm going to take take you through the way I would put it put together a so you'll see more if you're interested in coming to that all right so let's open our books up to lesson three that was your homework that's pages 21 to 28 so that's a lot for us to go through and we're going to go through that as a class we're going to break it up at times and we're going to go through the alphabet just so that we're not just stay sitting with our face in the book the whole time so as a beginning let's begin what are the letters let's say I'm together to see all my car remember kissy-kissy kissy-kissy keep see how many remember that did this story help at all okay the fee keepsy is really the one that and again I don't I just there's a little helpful tool helpful hint I don't know why but when I see that my brain for some reason connects that to the pH like that.
07:25: I don't know why, but when I see that, I guess it sort of looks like a P with a big circle, and I just think pH every time I see it.
07:32: So that one's not a difficult one for me, but it might be for you.
07:36: But it's f-f-f-e, like the F or the pH sound.
07:41: Key, key, key, it's actually key, but we're just saying key to make it simple.
07:48: And if you've ever seen, by the way, if you've ever seen this symbol, and I know Brother Mark has, because I do believe it is emblazoned upon his body, but this symbol here, you've seen that symbol? That symbol is called the key row.
08:12: Key row, it's the letter key and the letter row, and it represents Christ.
08:21: And so that symbol is one of the earliest Christian symbols.
08:25: Constantine believed that he saw this sign in the sky, and that that, and heard a proclamation, in this symbol, conquer.
08:40: And so that became a very common Christian, well, it was already a very common Christian used symbol, but it's just two Greek letters.
08:51: The key and the row.
08:53: Some people call it Cairo.
08:56: Cairo's a place in Egypt.
08:59: But it's, you know, you can say Cairo if you want.
09:02: But it's key, row, so fee, key, psee, psee.
09:08: How do we remember the psee? Pop the balloons, right? How do we remember O omega? This letter, my last name, and it's Christ, the alpha and the omega sign.
09:22: That's right.
09:23: But the hardest part about omega is your brain is gonna see the W most every time.
09:28: Until you've really gotten used to that W making the o-o sound, you're going to want it to make the wa-wa sound, because all your life, the W has made the wa-wa sound.
09:40: So the O omega, the capital is kind of easy because it looks like a big O with feet.
09:47: But the lowercase looking like the W will throw you off.
09:53: So again, alpha, beta, gamma, do it with me.
09:56: Alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, yoda, kappa, lambda, mu, nu, c, omicron, p, row, sigma, tau, upsilon, fee, key, psee, omega.
10:12: All right, we're just gonna do that through the class.
10:14: I'm gonna stop at a certain point and say do the alphabet, remember the alphabet.
10:19: And let's look at lesson three.
10:24: Greek New Testaments published today are written in small letters with accent marks included in the proper places.
10:29: This workbook will usually omit accent marks.
10:33: And that is part of the reason why I have not put accent marks in your lessons.
10:42: The accent marks are for pronunciation primarily.
10:49: And since we're not too concerned with pronunciation and this book doesn't focus on pronunciation, there are not going to be a focus on the accent marks.
10:58: You have the grave and the acute and different ones.
11:02: They are important, but they're not really within the scope of this eight weeks.
11:07: If you want, I'll see if I can find a handout that explains, there's only a few of them, that explains them and I'll give it out to you and then at least you'll have it.
11:15: But again, it's not a huge deal.
11:19: I'm probably gonna photocopy a picture of the Greek New Testament, one of the pages out of my Bible for next week so that you guys can actually look and see if you can pick out any words that you've learned so far.
11:32: Words like chi, the word and is on every page of the New Testament.
11:37: So that's, we're gonna do that.
11:39: And that way you can start seeing how it looks on paper.
11:42: But one of the things you need to realize is the New Testament Greek that you are learning, this Greek, is not technically the way that it would have looked when it was written.
12:00: Because when the great New Testament was written, it was written prior to the introduction of lowercase letters.
12:12: So the New Testament, when it was originally written, was written with all capital letters, very little spacing and very little punctuation.
12:26: So if I took like the Gospel of Matthew and took the first few verses and I typed them in all capital letters with no spaces and no pun, even if it was in English, you'd have a hard time reading it because you're used to seeing upper and lowercase letters.
12:43: You're used to seeing spaces between words and you're used to seeing commas and exclamation points and periods and all of those things which help you understand what you're reading.
12:53: So just know that Koine Greek in the first century did not have that.
12:58: So when you, if you were to open up, let's say Codex Sinaiticus.
13:03: Codex Sinaiticus is one of the ancient codices which has been discovered.
13:09: It is from around the fourth century.
13:12: That's pretty old.
13:14: And it includes an almost complete text of the New Testament in Greek, handwritten on vellum, which is a type of leather.
13:23: You can go look at Codex Sinaiticus online because they have taken high definition photographs and made the entire thing available to look at for free.
13:35: There's no charge.
13:36: You just go and look up Codex Sinaiticus, but you will notice that it is written in a way that will be very difficult.
13:43: Even if you master this class, you're gonna still have a hard time with it because it's not gonna have the lowercase letters.
13:51: So it is important that you master both the uppercase and the lowercase.
13:59: They call the all uppercase unsealed text, U-N-C-I-A-L, unsealed text.
14:06: That was all capital letters, very little spacing, very little punctuation.
14:11: It was later that we were, that was introduced what is called minuscule.
14:16: Minuscule is capitals and lowercase together.
14:20: Capitals being used for certain things, such as we use in English to proper names and starting sentences and things like that.
14:29: But capitals were not, are not as common.
14:33: If I show you, when I show you next week a picture of the New Testament in Greek, you'll notice that the vast majority is in the lowercase, but you still need to know the uppercase.
14:42: Understand? Okay.
14:45: So I kind of went off of lesson three for a second, but when it said this workbook doesn't do the accent marks, the original didn't have accent marks.
14:54: Because again, the original didn't have upper, lowercase.
14:58: It didn't have any of that.
14:59: Accent marks are added later.
15:00: Yes.
15:01: Which Greek, and I didn't know what one that was, because I found one for the Tindale House, but I didn't know.
15:12: Well, there's, there, there, there basically, you have the, the N-A-28, which is the Nestle Elan critical edition.
15:23: I think the one that I have is the 27th, because the 28th is more recent.
15:28: I have it with the critical apparatus.
15:30: No, I don't, I don't have that one.
15:32: I just have the text.
15:33: I have what's called a reader's edition.
15:35: I can show it to you.
15:38: It's, it's just the text.
15:40: And at the bottom, it has the most uncommon words in the text defined.
15:44: It's for people who are like me, who are learning as they go.
15:48: And it's called a reader's edition New Testament, but I believe it's based on the Nestle Elan 27th edition.
15:53: But then you also have what's known as the Texas Receptus.
15:57: And the Texas Receptus is based on the Byzantine family of manuscripts.
16:02: And the Nestle Elan is based on the Alexandrian family of manuscripts.
16:06: So that's, and if you don't know what that means, don't worry about it.
16:09: It's not a big deal.
16:09: But that is the two primary divisions.
16:14: You know, the, the Texas Receptus is the, is the basis for the King James.
16:19: And the Nestle Elan is the basis for the more modern translations, ESV, New American Standard, and those.
16:25: So you got to decide kind of what you're, what you're, what you're looking for.
16:29: Okay.
16:31: All right.
16:31: Sorry, we kind of went off, off topic there.
16:35: But we're going to begin right now with number one.
16:39: Under scriptural quotes.
16:42: This is biblical quotes with the Greek words.
16:46: Therefore, everyone who hears my words and does them is like a wise man who built his.
16:54: Say the Greek word.
16:56: Oikion.
16:57: Oikion.
16:59: Epi.
17:00: Petron.
17:02: Oikion.
17:04: Remember what the word oikos, house, right? Epi, remember it's on.
17:12: How do we know epi means on? Epipen, right, goes on the skin.
17:16: Epipen goes on the skin.
17:18: And the epi means on.
17:19: It's a, it's a preposition.
17:22: And then rakpetron, the name Peter, means rock.
17:27: All right.
17:27: Thou art Petros.
17:29: Again, the endings determine whether or not it's a nominative or accusative or genitive.
17:35: It deals with the case, which we're really not focused with, but that's what the, that's why the endings are sometimes different.
17:41: Focus on the root, not the endings for now.
17:44: And epipetra, I will build my church.
17:48: That's the statement of Jesus that is often used by the Roman Catholic Church to argue for the power of the Pope.
17:55: Did you know that? That one passage where it says, you are Peter and upon this rock, I will build my church.
18:05: And many, many gallons of ink have been spilt trying to argue both sides of the argument as to whether or not Peter is the foundation of the church or not, because Jesus calls him Peter, and he says, which means rock.
18:23: And he says, on this rock, I will build my church.
18:26: And they say, well, if Peter was the rock upon which the church was built, then Peter's position must be maintained so that there's always a rock to build the church upon.
18:37: And therefore the cathedra petri, which is the seat of Peter, must be perpetuated.
18:44: And that is the Pope.
18:46: The Pope sits upon the cathedra petri, the seat of Peter.
18:50: And that is all based on one big Greek word, and that is baloney, my favorite Greek word, because it's hogwash.
19:01: It's just not founded on the text.
19:04: First Corinthians three says, there is no other foundation that can be laid than this.
19:09: That is Jesus Christ.
19:11: Jesus Christ is the foundation of the church.
19:13: Now, what does he mean here when he talks about Peter as the rock? Well, the Bible says the church is built upon the apostles and the prophets, but Christ Jesus is the chief cornerstone.
19:27: So he is the ultimate foundation of the church, not the Pope, and certainly not Peter.
19:34: All right, didn't mean to get all theological, but sometimes it just spills out.
19:40: All right, so for David says, what's that word? It's the easiest Greek word you can learn, in, literally sounds the same, looks different, but sounds the same.
19:48: And it's a preposition, which means in.
19:51: Okay, yeah, it's not hard.
19:53: And the biblo, biblo of Psalms.
19:59: What does biblo mean? Book, that's right.
20:02: Now a great star fell from heaven, burning as it was a lampos, which means lamp.
20:09: And the last one is, if he asked for an egg, will you give him a scorpion, scorpion? I've seen it translated torch in some of the translations.
20:19: It's only lamp in one translation, I can't believe it.
20:23: How would you get torch from lampos? Well, I'm glad you asked, Johnny, because did you- I've seen a lot of words like that, but I read it in Greek and I'm like, what is it? Did you see the Facebook post that I put out today? About the guy? No, I was confused.
20:43: About the guy? I was like, what guy? The guy in the pew running off with the mom and kid.
20:48: No, no, no, no, no, not that one.
20:50: No, I was confused.
20:51: For those of you who are not on our Facebook page, I encourage, I know some of you don't have computers, but if you have a computer or a phone, go on to Sovereign Grace Academy on Facebook and like the page, and you'll see when I post stuff.
21:07: Because today I posted actually a quote from the next class's book, because our next class is gonna be an introduction to the Old Testament.
21:16: But as I was reading it today, I came across something that was interesting for Greek, because the writer of that book was talking about the fact that words have what are known as semantic domains or ranges.
21:30: And so for instance, the word lampos means lamp, but it can also have the range of meaning of torch.
21:38: In the same way that the word home and the word house can both mean the same thing, but they can also mean something different.
21:53: Because if I say my wife takes our house and makes it a home, you understand that those two words, while they are synonyms, in that sense, they're not, because I'm using the word home in a much more intimate sense than just the house, which is the wood and the brick and mortar.
22:15: The home is where the heart is, right? And think about it this way.
22:20: If I were to say, my boss is a strong man, you might think he's a weightlifter.
22:27: But if I said, my boss is a powerful man, you would know that I'm not talking about physical strength, but I'm talking about his power in influence and clout, his power in society, you understand? So even though the word power and strength, both are synonyms, they have different nuance of meaning.
22:51: You might say that coffee is strong.
22:54: You wouldn't say that coffee's powerful.
22:58: You might.
22:59: Depends on how strong it is.
23:01: But that's why we're studying, I posted this on Facebook.
23:04: That's why we're studying the original language, so we can go back and see what word did they choose at this moment, at this, think of this, and again, I know we're getting off the book, but think about when Jesus was on the shore with Peter, after Peter had denied him three times, and now Jesus is there eating the fish on the shore, and Peter jumps.
23:27: You remember, comes to Jesus and swims to him and sits with him, and Peter asks him those three questions.
23:33: Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Remember? Why'd he ask him three times? Because he denied him three times, right? This is an opportunity for redemption.
23:46: This is an opportunity for restoration.
23:48: This is an opportunity for Peter to be brought back to the position that he was in prior to his rejection of Christ.
23:55: This is restorative moment.
24:00: But if you look at the original language, Jesus said, do you agape? First time.
24:10: Second time, he says, do you agape? But the third time, he says, do you philos? He uses a different word for love.
24:25: Now both of them mean love, but is there not at least something that we can learn from Christ changing the nuance of the word? I've often thought of it like this.
24:38: Do you love me? Yes, Lord, you know I love you.
24:41: Do you love me? Lord, you know that I love you.
24:45: Are you my friend? Philos is the love that is reciprocated between friends.
24:53: You see? And so there's nuance in the language that you wouldn't see if all you read was the English.
25:04: English sucks.
25:06: Well, let's move on.
25:10: Yeah, Johnny, you're a poet.
25:14: Okay, page 22, page 22.
25:18: All right, we're not gonna spend a ton of time with these.
25:22: We're gonna go through them.
25:23: Let's go to the next one.
25:23: Let's say the word and then give the answer.
25:26: What's the first word? Diabolos, and what is it? It's where we get the word diabolic, right? Means evil or devil.
25:38: All right, what's the next word? Dogma, that's right.
25:41: What is that? Just give me the letter E.
25:46: It's E, it's a rule.
25:48: You've heard dogmatic? You never heard dogmatic? Dogmatic means to be, it's a dogma, it's a rule, it's a standard, and somebody who's dogmatic is a stickler for the rules.
26:03: They're a stickler for the standards.
26:07: The Pharisees were very dogmatic.
26:10: What's the next word? Stigma, and it is B, thank you.
26:15: It's a brand or a mark.
26:16: It's also where the Roman Catholics get the idea of the stigmata, which is a mythological thing that supposedly happened where people received the imprints of Christ in their hands, in their side, and all those things.
26:29: Movie called Stigmata, that was the name.
26:33: Yeah, yeah, coincidentally, yes.
26:36: Next one.
26:38: Membrana, membrana is a, yeah, it's a membrane.
26:44: Next one.
26:46: Barbaross, a barbaross is a foreigner.
26:49: One of my favorite Greek words is barbaross because of what it means, and it means foreigner, of course, but the reason why the word barbaross exists is it's a play on words.
27:01: It's actually what we would call an onomatopoeia.
27:06: Onomatopoeia is a, it's a word that makes the sound, like if I said pop, that's an onomatopoeia.
27:14: That's the sound, the word is the sound, okay? So barbarian is a person who, when they talk, it sounds like they're going bar, bar, bar, bar, bar.
27:25: It's a way of saying that someone sounds unintelligent.
27:29: They are barbarians.
27:31: When they talk, all you hear is bar, bar, bar, and it was an insult.
27:36: To call someone a barbarian, it was an insult.
27:39: The barbarians, the unintelligent ones, the foreigners, and we use that today, right? What if you see somebody who does something really wicked and vile, barbarian, right? That's the way we use that, or we think of Conan, and then, you know, maybe takes us a little different direction.
27:57: Okay, next, another very important word, skandalon.
28:03: It's where we get the word scandal.
28:08: This is what the cross is.
28:12: Paul says the cross is skandalon.
28:16: It's a scandal.
28:18: To the person who doesn't believe it, it's foolishness to the Greek, and it's scandalous to the Jew.
28:27: This is the word.
28:29: All right, here's another scriptural quote using that same word, diabolos.
28:34: Your adversary, the diabolos, the devil, walks around like a leon, leon, a lion.
28:42: Leon, lion, you know, I always think of Leo the lion.
28:45: I don't know why in my mind, but leon is, you know, like Leo the lion.
28:50: It's just a connection in my mind.
28:54: All right, next one.
28:56: There is one Lord, one faith, baptisma.
29:04: There's a word that gets a lot of arguments.
29:09: Why do people argue about the word baptisma, Mark? Well, and even that's debatable, right? Because you talk to any Presbyterian, and they'll tell you that it's not necessarily means to immerse.
29:29: Baptists will go to the mat to argue that baptisma always means to go under the water, means to submerge.
29:39: There is some debate, but I agree that baptism should go under the water.
29:45: That's why we baptize as, you know, we're not Baptists, but we play them on TV.
29:51: We're, you know, I'm not a Baptist, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.
29:59: But there, baptizo, to dip, you know, when a person would dip their finger, there was a baptizo.
30:06: So, what's that? Yeah, when a ship would sink.
30:12: Oh, chips and dip.
30:13: Well, but there's also, if a ship was sinking, it was being baptized.
30:17: It was going under the water.
30:22: Next one, the word for and in the Greek is the most common word, my favorite word in the Greek is the easiest one, is kai, kai.
30:33: Kappa, alpha, iota.
30:35: And what is ego? Lego my ego.
30:40: What is ego is I.
30:42: So, Jesus said, ego kai.
30:45: I and the Father are one.
30:49: In the Garden of Gethsemane, kai, in great agonia, which is agony, he prayed.
31:03: Jesus went into Bethany to the oikia of? Simon? It's, yeah, Simonas.
31:17: Leprou.
31:19: Yeah, the leper, the leper.
31:24: Yeah, it does sound French.
31:26: Leprou.
31:29: What's the next one? Number five, first one.
31:33: Andreas.
31:35: We would simply say Andrew.
31:37: It's Andrew, the brother of? Simonas, Petru.
31:45: There's one of two who heard this from John and followed him, so he first found his own brother.
31:53: Simona, kai.
31:56: Yeah, and what's Messian? Messiah, that's right.
32:02: All right, so let's look at exercise two.
32:05: We're gonna look at these cognates.
32:06: What are cognates? You guys remember what cognates are? The definition, they sound similar.
32:17: Yeah, well, the word sounds similar to the English word and has similar meaning.
32:22: So, cardiac, that's a cognate.
32:26: So, linen, or y'all say it, number one, linen.
32:30: Yep, it's C.
32:32: Number two.
32:35: Yeah, the delectos.
32:37: When you say delectos, what are you thinking? Dialect, it's a variety of speech, that's right.
32:43: Next.
32:47: Doma, it's a housetop.
32:51: Yeah.
32:53: Next.
32:57: Zion, Zion.
33:05: Next.
33:12: Well, let's do it together.
33:16: Kina, kina.
33:18: Monan, kina monan.
33:22: And we would say cinnamon.
33:26: Kina monan.
33:29: Last one.
33:32: Titlas, which means title.
33:36: All right, next going down the line.
33:40: We're moving right along.
33:40: I told you, we're going through the book where the book is leading the class.
33:44: Continuing with the alphabet.
33:45: What is that first one? Phone, next one.
33:50: Now, you guys might not be old enough to know what that is.
33:55: A turntable.
33:56: Got two of those and a microphone.
34:01: Go ahead, brother.
34:14: Yeah.
34:15: Oh, okay, because I did it different.
34:18: Yeah, you're right.
34:21: I'm sorry.
34:24: Again, it's like English, right? There's penmanship that makes a change, but the way they're writing it is they're making a circle and then they're stopping and going down.
34:33: I like that way better.
34:35: Okay, well, giddy up.
34:38: If it works better for you, if it helps, that's fine.
34:40: Yeah, that is a phono.
34:43: Well, how would you say that? Phonograph, yeah, phonograph.
34:49: Next one, phantom.
34:52: Next one, photograph.
34:56: Next one, Philadelphia.
35:00: Last one, fill.
35:02: All right, good.
35:05: Now, you're gonna use the theta and you have what? Thumb, thorn, thread, Martha, Nathan, Bethlehem.
35:26: That'd be Bethlehem.
35:27: Remember when there's two, like Abraham, and when there's two vowels and they're not making a diphthong, then you would pronounce both.
35:41: So it would be, and that's where we get the Bethlehem.
35:45: It would actually, in Greek, it would just be Bethlehem, but there would still be that M on the end.
35:52: All right, now, these are Greek names.
35:57: Let's just say them.
35:58: Go ahead.
36:00: Say it together.
36:03: Two.
36:06: Three.
36:06: Three.
36:09: Yeah, Pharao, Pharao.
36:14: Next, Matthias.
36:19: Next, Philippas, and what's that? Philip, Stephanos.
36:29: Next one, Methuselah.
36:33: Methuselah.
36:34: Last.
36:36: Pharosaios.
36:37: Yep, it would actually be Pharosaios, because the alpha and the iota together make the diphthong, which makes the long I sound.
36:47: So it'd be Pharosaios.
36:50: All right, all of those words are in the New Testament.
36:54: All of those words are proper names that are in the New Testament.
36:59: Next page.
37:01: This first word under number nine is what? Phaos.
37:06: That is what? God.
37:09: Very important word.
37:12: Next one.
37:15: Phosphoros, which means? Means light-bearing.
37:21: Yeah, we think of phosphorus as a chemical, right? But in this sense, it would just simply mean light-bearing.
37:32: Next, Parthenos.
37:33: What does the word Parthenos mean? Virgin.
37:40: It means virgin.
37:43: Now, now here's an interesting side note on that.
37:51: If you were at Set Free back at Christmas, I mentioned this.
37:59: Isaiah, I think it's 714, says, behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, shall call his name Emmanuel, right? And later, the Gospel of Matthew quotes that passage in regard to the birth of Christ.
38:17: Now, there are some people who make the argument that Isaiah did not use the proper word for virgin in the Hebrew.
38:26: He used the word Alma in Hebrew, which means maiden.
38:32: He did not use the word Bethula, which is the Hebrew for virgin.
38:39: And so people get, especially liberals will say, Isaiah wasn't saying a virgin will have a child.
38:47: He was saying a maiden will have a child.
38:52: And the New Testament writers came along and they hijacked his meaning.
39:00: Well, again, there's a Greek word for that and it's baloney.
39:03: But let me tell you why.
39:06: The word Alma does mean maiden.
39:11: It is not the technical Hebrew word for virgin.
39:16: However, it does mean virgin in the most natural sense because a woman who was not a virgin was not considered to be a maiden.
39:29: She was considered to be a woman of ill repute or whatever word you want to put there, but not called a maiden.
39:39: An Alma was a woman of marriageable quality, which means virgin.
39:46: And how do we know that that's what Isaiah meant? Well, the New Testament quotes Isaiah 7.14 and uses the Greek word Parthenos in its quotation.
39:59: And you say, well, that's just the New Testament writers interposing their ideas on the Old Testament.
40:06: Oh, nay, nay.
40:08: Because we also have something called the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament, which was written 200 years before Christ, which means it could not have been influenced by Christian thinking because there was not any Christians 200 years before Christ, obviously.
40:26: And when the Old Testament was translated into Greek 200 years before Christ, and they translated Isaiah 7.14, the Alma word was translated Parthenos.
40:41: So even prior to the coming of Christ, it was understood that the prophecy of Isaiah was not just that a young woman would have a child.
40:50: Young women have children all the time.
40:51: There's no sign there, but that the virgin would conceive and bear a son.
40:59: So that word Parthenos is another important word to have in your lexicon of words.
41:07: All right.
41:10: Catholicos.
41:11: What is Catholicos? It's where the word Catholic comes from.
41:17: I am a Catholic in the grandest sense of the word because the word Catholic simply means to be the universal church.
41:28: I'm not Roman Catholic because Roman Catholic is an oxymoron because Rome is a place that is not universal.
41:40: So to be Roman Catholic is to be Roman universal and you can't be both.
41:46: You can't be in one place and be everywhere at the same time.
41:50: That's not how it works.
41:51: Roman Catholicism on its very name is an oxymoron.
41:57: But the idea that...
41:59: The reason why we don't use the word Catholic though is because most people identify Catholic with Roman Catholic.
42:05: What's the next one? Ophthalmos.
42:10: Ophthalmos, which means it's based on the eyes.
42:13: We get the word optometry.
42:15: Yeah, that's right.
42:16: All right, next one.
42:18: Greek words to guess.
42:20: Did you guess them right? What's the first one? Lithos, which means? Stone, all right, let's see.
42:27: Next? Logos, very important word.
42:31: And let me give you a little hint on this one.
42:33: A lot of people say Logos.
42:37: And I'm not down with that.
42:39: Let me just tell you.
42:41: And even R.C.
42:42: Sproul, God bless him.
42:44: He's with Jesus now.
42:46: Well, he says Logos.
42:48: If you hear him preach, every time he talks about this word, he'll say Logos.
42:52: And I'm like, ah, you're the most intelligent man I've ever met in my life.
42:55: You're the greatest scholar of my generation or the generation prior to mine.
42:59: And you say Logos, you're killing me.
43:01: R.C., you're killing me.
43:04: Because it's not an omega.
43:06: It's two omicrons.
43:09: So it's Logos, Logos, yeah.
43:14: Next? Anthropos, very important word.
43:19: Means what? Man, easy one to remember.
43:23: If you've ever studied anthropology, anthropology is the study of men or man, mankind.
43:28: So Anthropos, huh? Translated the word one also.
43:33: Anthropologist, it says, but the one is referring to a person when it says that.
43:38: Yeah, yeah.
43:40: Andre can also be translated.
43:41: You were talking about? Yeah, one woman, man.
43:45: Mian, Gunakos, Andre, yeah, yep.
43:48: Okay, next? Orphanos, Orphanos is a? Orphan, yep.
43:56: Next? I've talked about this one since day one.
43:59: Cardia, yep.
44:01: Last one? Thronos, Thronos is a? Throne, chair.
44:09: Now again, I don't expect you guys to remember all of these because you're getting so much information.
44:15: But when you sit down and look at a page of these words from the New Testament, you'll be able to pick out the ones that you remember and your vocabulary will grow.
44:26: Now let's look at some prepositions based on the new letters that we've mastered.
44:34: Anthropos in Oiko.
44:37: That's man in the house, that's B.
44:41: Mark, say the next one.
44:47: Anthropo, yep.
44:49: Which is? B, that's right.
44:53: Okay.
44:55: Kara, can you say the next one? Lithos, yep.
45:07: Yep, that's A, very good.
45:10: Moving around, moving around, moving around.
45:14: Miss Daisy.
45:16: What? What's the next one? That's right.
45:24: That's right.
45:24: Okay.
45:31: What does Logos mean? Word, so it's word on the book.
45:35: So which one is it? It's A, that's right, okay.
45:42: BJ, number five.
45:45: Logos, epi, litho, is that pronounced right? Yeah.
45:50: That would be A.
45:51: Yep.
45:55: Alan, six.
45:59: Thronos in Oiko.
46:02: Yep.
46:02: This is A.
46:04: Yep.
46:04: How do we know it's A? Because in means inside, right? Yeah, because they both have the thronos, and you know that it's Oikos because of the house, but, or thronos, yeah, or Oiko.
46:19: Yep, in is inside.
46:22: All right, what's next? Stephanie, right? Rebecca? Rebecca, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
46:28: Please.
46:32: Lithos, epi, how do you say that? Throno.
46:38: Throno? Yeah.
46:40: And then it's B? Yep, it is B, very good.
46:46: All right, forgive me for names, because if I get your name wrong, I don't mean to, but I'm gonna go around and just kind of point.
46:53: Brother, I know your name, but for the sake of it, just if you would, next.
46:57: Heart in the chair.
46:59: Heart in the chair, okay, all right.
47:01: But how would you say that? That's fine, cardia in, orphano, and it's actually heart in the orphan, yep, yep, yep.
47:17: Next, right here.
47:23: That's okay, orphanos, epi, throno.
47:26: So what does epi mean? On.
47:28: Epi means on, remember, epi, pen, on the skin.
47:30: Epi means on, so this is orphan on the chair.
47:35: So it'd be letter A.
47:37: All right, next.
47:40: Anthropos, chi, orphanos, in, oiko.
47:48: Well, let's go through it together.
47:49: We're learning a sentence.
47:50: We're doing a whole sentence now, woo! This is week three, you're learning a whole sentence.
47:55: Anthropos, chi, orphanos, what does that mean? Man and orphan, or child.
48:01: Orphanos can also reference a child.
48:03: So man and child in oiko, which would be in the, and are they in the house? No, they'd be in the cardia.
48:12: They'd be in the cardia, not in the house, yes.
48:15: Now, next sentence.
48:17: Who wants to read a whole sentence? Go ahead, Johnny, you got your hand up.
48:21: Petra and Lithos on oiko.
48:25: Mm-hmm, what's that? That's a rock and stone on the house, and no.
48:30: That's no, because it should be what preposition? In.
48:34: In, right, it's in the house.
48:38: You see, you're reading whole sentences.
48:40: Aren't you so proud of yourself? I'm so excited.
48:44: Okay.
48:45: Small sentence.
48:46: It's a, hey, hey, let me tell you something.
48:48: My little daughter, you know, my seven-year-old, she's reading chapter books now, which I'm so, we're proud that she can do that.
48:57: But it all started with, you know, see Jane run.
49:02: You know, the boy threw the ball.
49:04: It has to begin.
49:06: You learn the letters, you learn the sounds, you learn the words, you learn the sentences.
49:09: You can read a paragraph, you can read a chapter, you can read a book, right? So it all begins.
49:13: So yeah, it's a short sentence, but it's a sentence.
49:17: And what's interesting is much of the New Testament is not difficult to read.
49:24: It's not written at a high level.
49:25: I mean, Hebrews and some of Luke and some of it, some of it's written at a higher level, but like the gospel of John is written for the average person, maybe even a little below average in the sense of the person who knew Greek.
49:41: So you're doing great.
49:43: You're doing great.
49:44: We're learning what we need to know.
49:46: All right, so next.
49:48: Match these Greek words with their perspective pronunciations.
49:51: This, for the sake of time, pronunciation is important, but, well, okay, we have time to get through these.
49:58: Okay, what's the first one? Say it.
50:00: Biblos.
50:01: Biblos would be? A.
50:03: Next.
50:05: Philippos, which is? B.
50:07: B.
50:08: Next.
50:09: Ruth.
50:10: Ruth.
50:10: A.
50:11: Yeah.
50:12: Next.
50:15: Matthias.
50:16: Matthias.
50:18: Okay.
50:18: Next.
50:19: So B-A? Yeah, yeah, yeah, B-A.
50:25: Pharisaios.
50:31: It actually is A.
50:33: It's Phar-is-ai-os.
50:36: It's not fair.
50:37: It's far.
50:38: I said it wrong.
50:40: Next, number six.
50:43: Which is? B.
50:45: B, yep.
50:46: Next.
50:48: Petra.
50:50: B.
50:52: Next.
50:53: Oikone.
50:55: Next.
50:56: Next.
51:00: Anthropo.
51:03: Yep.
51:05: Yep, next.
51:07: Lithu.
51:09: Yep, because you got the Omicron Upsilon makes the, just like N-O-U in soup, ooh, so it makes the ooh.
51:17: Yep.
51:19: And by the way, oftentimes when you see, and this is a little bit, this is later, but just so you know, oftentimes when you see the Omicron Upsilon at the end of a word, that means it's in the genitive, which it means, like if you talk about the love of God, of God is in the genitive, and so it would be Anthropo-theu, love of God, and the two endings, because it's, or no, I'm sorry, Agapo-theu, Agapo have that ending, and theos would have that same ending, and that ties them together and creates that sentence, and the word of wouldn't be translated.
52:00: It's part of that ending.
52:03: It would be Agapo-theu, love of God, and because the Omicron Upsilon at the end creates the genitive, creates the of, okay? And so just throwing that out there.
52:19: Now the Biblos, sometimes the Biblo, and like here.
52:23: Yeah, because again, whether it's in the nominative, the accusative, the genitive, what case it's in is gonna determine the ending, and it will determine if it's, what the article looks like, so if it's the Biblo, or the Bible, it would be Habiblo, it would have that, so there would be that, it would be, there would be a matching.
52:49: In fact, this is an important side note.
52:52: My favorite verse of the Bible, we used to have a bracelet, wore it all the time, Ephesians 2.8, for by, okay.
53:02: So we know it, Ephesians 2.8, for by grace you're saved through faith, and that is not of yourself, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
53:12: In that sentence, for by grace are you saved through faith, and that is not of yourself.
53:22: The word that is a pronoun that has an antecedent.
53:28: How do we determine the antecedent of the word that? You would, in the Greek you can.
53:37: In English it's ambiguous, but in the Greek it's not ambiguous.
53:42: It is everything before it, that's right.
53:45: It's not just the word faith, it's everything, it's salvation is all a gift from God.
53:50: But it includes faith, because some people don't think faith is a gift.
53:53: Some people think faith is our contribution to salvation, but it's not.
53:57: Faith is not your contribution to salvation, faith is a gift that God has given.
54:03: Yeah, okay.
54:05: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
54:10: Now, going down now to the meaning.
54:13: What is byblos? Book, oikos, house, lampos, Petra, anthropos, cardia, lithos, lagos, thronos, orphanos, scorpios.
54:38: All right, next one.
54:40: What anthropos among you, when his son asked for loaf, will he give a lithon? Anthropos means man, lithon means stone.
54:50: Last one on here is the one I went over last week.
54:52: In the beginning was the word.
54:55: The word and the word was with God, and the word was God.
55:00: And you see the word lagos, you see chi, you see theos and theon.
55:07: All right, we're gonna take our break.
55:09: When we come back, we're gonna do lesson four.
55:15: I mentioned I was gonna give these next week, but my thought was I'll forget, so take them tonight.
55:21: This is a copy of my Greek New Testament.
55:27: Is that page in the book? No, this is an actual Greek New Testament.
55:34: What you're looking at is interlinear.
55:36: Yeah.
55:39: Okay.
55:43: Found one, found a word you know? First word, you should know it right out of the gate.
55:48: In the preposition.
55:51: That's right.
55:53: By the way, Alan, I looked at it.
55:55: It's not the NA 27, it's the UBS text.
56:01: Yeah, they're both the same manuscripts, though.
56:07: That's right.
56:10: The one I found had the apparatus.
56:12: I didn't look at it.
56:13: I gotcha.
56:13: So I know how to get my room without it.
56:15: Well, this one has, you'll see at the bottom, it's got some definitions, but it doesn't have the textual critical apparatus.
56:23: So it's called the UBS Greek New Testament, a reader's edition.
56:31: Yes, sir.
56:35: I had to cheat on the word how.
56:39: The word what? I had to cheat on how.
56:41: How? Yeah, because what I found for the word, I think it was tau, tau, tau, bupsilon, syngyri, no, how.
56:58: You mean to write the word how? To get the? O-W, yeah.
57:01: Yeah.
57:01: And it ended up being tau, tau, bupsilon, syngyri.
57:08: Well, it's a cognate, right? The two letters make the ow sound.
57:11: Two T's, it was like two tau's, bupsilon, syngyri.
57:19: I have to look at that after class because I'm a little confused by that because how, I would use the accent to make the ha sound because the accent would give you the ha and then I would use a alpha, alpha, upsilon.
57:36: I would do the accent over the alpha to give the H and I would do alpha, upsilon to make the ow and that would be how.
57:49: All right, guys, again, we're not gonna go over this.
57:54: This is for your own benefit.
57:56: If you wanna look at this when you have time, this is what a Greek New Testament would look like and it's different from your interlinear.
58:04: I noticed you guys bought yourselves interlinears which is great and those of you who have the interlinear, the interlinear is a great study tool.
58:13: This is more when you get into the reading part of it, when you wanna see what it looks like.
58:18: This is a little different but I just wanted you to be able to look on there and see that you know some words.
58:23: You know almost the whole first verse.
58:27: In is what? In, R-K, you may not know but it means beginning.
58:35: In R-K, ain means was.
58:38: So in the beginning was, halagos, the word.
58:46: Yeah, kai, halagos, prostantheon, right? Ain prostantheon, was with God.
58:57: You following along? Kai theos ain halagos.
59:05: That's John 1.1.
59:11: And then if you continued, verse two.
59:18: Hutas ain in R-K, prostantheon.
59:25: Panta de altu, agoneto, kai, chorus, alto, agoneto, ude, in, ah, gegonon.
59:42: Gegonon, which means to be born.
59:46: So right there, that's the first three verses of John.
59:50: Again, reading it poorly and I know I'm reading it poorly but all I'm doing is sounding out the letters as we're learning how to do, right? All right, so that's for you to take home.
01:00:00: That's not what we're doing in class.
01:00:01: It was just something extra.
01:00:02: Now, lesson four is only a couple pages and I said we're gonna do this in class.
01:00:06: We have 15 minutes.
01:00:07: Can we do it? Oh, come on, this is Bob the Builder.
01:00:11: Can we do it? Yes, we can, that's right.
01:00:13: Yes, we can.
01:00:16: Okay, so the first, lesson four.
01:00:22: The hard part of this is not just, especially those of you who have memorized Bible verses and I know a lot of you guys have memorized Bible verses, the hard part is not to just go with what you know.
01:00:33: I want you to try to read the word, not just know the word because you know the verse.
01:00:38: That's not really gonna help you.
01:00:40: So the first blank is diabola, which would be devil.
01:00:46: And chi? And? Cardios? And anthropo? Men.
01:00:58: That's a good, who said person? Was that you? Yeah, yeah.
01:01:03: Daisy, you're right.
01:01:06: Anthropos can mean mankind.
01:01:09: It can mean man in the general sense.
01:01:12: And a lot of times, modern translations will just translate it as people because it's non-gender specific in that context.
01:01:22: There are times when it's gender specific, there's times when it's not, just like the word man.
01:01:26: You know, is typically gender specific, but not always, right? When we talk about mankind.
01:01:33: All right, the next one.
01:01:35: Who wants to jump on that word? Who's, say it.
01:01:45: That's about, yeah, yeah.
01:01:47: Casarion, which is? Caesarea, Caesarea.
01:01:52: Next word? Chi, yeah.
01:01:54: Next word? Oikon.
01:01:58: See, I'm not reading the verse because I don't want you to know it from the verse.
01:02:00: I want you to know the word.
01:02:01: And? Philippu.
01:02:05: Why? Yeah, it's in the genitive.
01:02:06: Notice what's in front of the word Philip.
01:02:08: All right, all right, all right.
01:02:09: The word of.
01:02:11: Remember? The omicron, upsilon at the end makes the genitive, which doesn't always add the word of, but in general, it'll add the of there.
01:02:23: It's the house of Philip or Philip's house.
01:02:28: But because it's in the genitive, we would say the house of Philip.
01:02:33: It's the love of God, all right? All right.
01:02:36: The blank with the S supplied means that the word is plural.
01:02:42: So, first one is? Palos, which is Paul.
01:02:47: And then? Sadducaion, that's right.
01:02:52: Sadducaion, which is Sadducee.
01:02:54: Chi, we know Chi.
01:02:55: Better know Chi.
01:02:56: Chi is important.
01:02:58: And then? Pharisaion.
01:03:01: Remember, it's a hard O.
01:03:04: And then what? Ego.
01:03:08: Ego is I.
01:03:09: Am a? Pharisaios, a son of a? Pharisaion, all right? All right.
01:03:20: Now, though many of the following are cognates, the words customarily used to translate them may surprise you.
01:03:26: All right, so let's look at, let's look at how some of these are translated.
01:03:31: All right.
01:03:32: Christ, the cornerstone, is a? Lithos, which is a? Stone of stumbling.
01:03:38: Chi and a? Petra? Of? Scandaloo, remember O-U.
01:03:45: Omicron Upsilon is the genitive, so you see the word of there.
01:03:49: And of offense, or, you know, you could say, well, it could be translated of scandal, but really the word scandal is something offensive.
01:03:58: It's offense.
01:03:59: This is that range of meaning thing.
01:04:01: And so, the translators translates it as offense.
01:04:07: It happened in those days that there went out a? Dogma, decree from? Yeah, Kaisaros.
01:04:18: Augustu.
01:04:19: Ha ha ha, Augustu.
01:04:21: Now this is one of those times where we don't see the of.
01:04:28: Yeah, yeah, it could be.
01:04:29: But as I'm saying, it's not always translated.
01:04:32: Yep.
01:04:34: All right.
01:04:36: That the entire domain be enrolled.
01:04:41: All right, when you come, next page, when you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with? Who is it? Carpo, which we translate carpus.
01:04:51: Chi and the? Biblia, the book.
01:04:57: What's that word, membranous, translated as? Parchments.
01:05:00: Parchments.
01:05:01: What are parchments made of? Skin, skin, animal skin.
01:05:09: So, membranous, it's the skin of the animal that makes the leather that's used for the writing.
01:05:15: What was the other, what's the other source of writing material that was used in the first century? Papyrus, right, which was how we get the word paper.
01:05:24: That was made out of a reed that was crushed and pressed together, and it made a very, very ancient form of paper.
01:05:33: All right, next, number eight for? Ego, bears the? Stigmata, the marks of Jesus in my body.
01:05:44: This is Paul talking, he says, I bear the marks of Jesus in my body.
01:05:47: What's he talking about? Is he talking about some crazy mythological change that occurred where he received the holes of the cross on his hands and in his feet? No, he's saying, I've been beat for Jesus, and I got the marks to show it.
01:06:01: I mean, you know, in a very simple way.
01:06:04: All right, when the Sabbath had ended, the women brought? Aromata, perfumes or spices, either one, yeah.
01:06:15: Probably perfumes, yeah.
01:06:19: Okay, now we're gonna move to compound words.
01:06:23: Compound words are something that we should be familiar with.
01:06:27: You see how the connect, by the way, if you learn more about Greek, you'll become better at English, because English follows so many of the same principles and rules.
01:06:37: And compound words, you learned as a child, right? You learn to put two words together and make one word that meant something different.
01:06:47: And that's what we're gonna see here.
01:06:48: We're gonna take two Greek words, and we're gonna create one longer Greek word.
01:06:54: So let's look first at the word mikros.
01:06:59: The word mikros means small.
01:07:04: Skapos means what? Yeah, look, watcher.
01:07:12: So the answer is, well, it would be, microscope would be mikros plus skapos, and the answer would be E, something to look at tiny things with.
01:07:26: The number, the letter E.
01:07:29: It's a micro, yeah.
01:07:33: Sorry, let me run away with you.
01:07:36: So a mikroskopos is a microscope.
01:07:41: How about a mikrosmetron? A mikrosmetron, micrometer, what's that? Something that's used to measure small things.
01:08:00: It's G, yep, G.
01:08:04: Next one, sophomore.
01:08:06: You know what a sophomore is? What's a sophomore? A smart fool, that's exactly right.
01:08:15: Sophos means wise, moros means fool, like a moron.
01:08:20: So a sophomore is a smart fool.
01:08:26: A student who knows very little but regards himself as smart, it's F.
01:08:31: Yes, a sophomore, huh? That's just wrong.
01:08:35: Yeah, and we were all sophomores once when we were in 10th grade, right? All right, timios, theos, what is that? Honored or precious to God, honored of God, A.
01:08:57: Mikroskosmos means, that's right, it's a universe in a drop of water.
01:09:07: A microcosm in English typically refers to a small, something small that represents the larger thing.
01:09:18: If you say like, I don't know if this is exactly right, but if I said like Alan goes to Counterculture Baptist Church, you're a microcosm of that church, you represent that church and you're one part of it, but you sort of represent that church as what it's like because you went there because you like it, and it's what you wanted, right? I don't know why I mentioned that, but I mean, it's like, I'm a microcosm, it's a small thing that represents the bigger thing, right? All right, so next, theosophy, which means something or rather religious system that claims to have direct knowledge of God without the Bible or Jesus.
01:10:17: Macroscopic, yeah, it's B, the answer's B.
01:10:21: Macros is large and skapos is to watch or see.
01:10:29: Cosmology, so cosmology is what? Study of the universe, that's right.
01:10:34: And then macrocosm is the opposite of a microcosm.
01:10:39: So where Alan is a microcosm of his church, the macrocosm would be something that is large that represents something, let's see, how does it? We talk about the looking at things in a micro view and a macro view, right? Looking at things in the small and looking at things in big, you know? And that's what that is.
01:11:06: All right, moving on, energy is G, that's right.
01:11:14: But it's two words, it's the prefix or it's the preposition in and ergon.
01:11:22: Ergon is an important word, ergon means work.
01:11:25: So like when the Bible says that we are justified by faith and not by works, that word ergon will come in, works.
01:11:37: The answer is G, yes.
01:11:40: Monolith is, monolithos is, yeah, it's D, okay? Monologue is what? What is monos? Let's just talk about this, what is monos? One, think of like monotheism, belief in one God, right? Monos, one, and then logos is word.
01:12:11: So monologue is one person speaking, okay? Philos means what? Love and sophos, wisdom, so what's philosophy mean? Love of wisdom.
01:12:26: Philos means love, anthropos means man, so what's philanthropy? Love of man, you think of people who are very philanthropic, people who give to charities and causes, they're philanthropists because they love man or mankind.
01:12:43: Photograph is, oh, yeah, photograph.
01:12:49: It's C, but what, it's photos and grapho.
01:12:55: Yep, yeah, it's the whole idea of the original photograph is that you had this chemical that was exposed to light and when it was exposed to light, it made a print.
01:13:09: Anthropology, based on two words, anthropos and logos, that's right, biology, oh, anthropology is E, biology.
01:13:24: It would be bios, bios, it's not the hard I, it would be bios, biologos, but yeah, I mean, we're so commonly used to biologos, we're so commonly used to saying biology, yeah.
01:13:42: Megalith, sounds like a transformer.
01:13:48: Megalith, it is B, it's a big rock, lithograph, yep.
01:14:06: It's the only one that's left, yeah, it's F, but it's, a lithograph is something that's written in stone, something that's written in stone.
01:14:16: Timothy.
01:14:19: Yes, the following compounds are found in the New Testament matched to the number of the English word above and from the previous page.
01:14:34: Timothy, that's right, the number of the English word is A.
01:14:57: Everybody sort out, let me gather us back together.
01:15:00: This one's a little complicated and for lack of time, I'm just gonna give them to you.
01:15:04: It's A4 for Timotheus, H13 for Philosophia, G10 for Energeia and A14 for Philanthropia, Philanthropia.
01:15:25: A14, okay, you guys understand how that worked? No, that's what I'm saying.
01:15:44: That's a little confusing and for lack of time, all it's asking you to do is look at the definitions from the page before and take the letter and then the number and put them on that line.
01:15:57: Yeah.
01:15:59: Let's get to the scripture example.
01:16:00: This one, this is a little more important.
01:16:02: We'll finish with this scripture example.
01:16:06: Don't worry about the endings.
01:16:09: Just write, just think about the word.
01:16:14: Theos, here I'll tell you what, here I'll tell you what.
01:16:17: Don't say it.
01:16:19: I'm gonna say the word, you write what you think it means and then we're gonna do a quick test.
01:16:30: Theos is the first one, mora is the second one.
01:16:36: We'll come back to it, I'll make sure you get it.
01:16:38: If you don't know it, don't write anything.
01:16:41: Cosmo, also cosmos.
01:16:46: Sophos, root is sophos.
01:16:51: All that is in the cosmo, lust of the flesh, the lust of the ophthalome, or excuse me, that was a little harder to say, ophthalmone, ophthalmone.
01:17:08: And the pride of Beu is not of the father, but of the cosmo.
01:17:18: While you have phos, believe in the phos, that you may be sons of photos.
01:17:27: All right, let's give the answers now.
01:17:30: Now, I don't wanna confuse it, so I've read them to you, I've given you the words, let's see how you did.
01:17:35: First one is? God, second one is? Foolish, mora, mora, mora, yep.
01:17:42: Next one? World.
01:17:44: Next one? That's wise, or you know, yeah.
01:17:51: All that is in the lust of the flesh, lust of the pride of, is not of the father, but of the world, cosmo, world, yeah.
01:18:06: This is why I was saying if you know a scripture, you'll write it, yeah.
01:18:11: So, look at the word without going on your memory.
01:18:16: While you have the phos, believe in the phos, that you may be sons of photos, also life.
01:18:25: That one's easy.
01:18:26: All right, last ones for tonight.
01:18:28: Greater love hath no man than this, that he should lay down his life for his philon.
01:18:34: His friends, you are my philoi, my friends.
01:18:40: If you do the things I command you.
01:18:42: You know, no man could say that and be righteous.
01:18:48: If I said to you, you're my friend, if you do what I tell you to do, I'd be crazy.
01:18:53: But Jesus can say it because he is the Lord.
01:18:57: And those who do not follow his commands are not his friends.
01:19:03: If anyone build on the foundation with gold, silver, lithu, and timius.
01:19:10: What is lithu? Stone, and what's timius? Timothy, but it also means what? Timothy is timius and theos.
01:19:19: Timius is precious.
01:19:22: Precious, stones that are precious.
01:19:29: Who can forgive sins but monos theos? Only God, God alone.
01:19:38: Well, that is lesson four.
01:19:40: You feel like you're cooking with gas? Not at all, okay, well.
01:19:48: I would like to end with a prayer and then I have a very quick announcement and then I'll let you go.
01:19:54: Father, thank you for this time.
01:19:56: Thank you for this opportunity, Lord, that we've had to study.
01:20:00: Now, I pray that it has been fruitful and I pray that there is some light bulbs going on and there are some folks who are truly imbibing what is being said.
01:20:09: God bless this time and use it to glorify yourself in Christ's name, amen.
01:20:15: Very quick announcement, very quick announcement before we leave.
01:20:18: We are restructuring the academy.
01:20:20: I mentioned this a while back, but I wanna go ahead and tell you, starting with our next term, we are going to begin a two-year cycle where if you come, if you came to classes last year, they already count, but if you come for a two-year cycle, you will graduate the whole program and the program is going to include the following eight courses.
01:20:44: Survey of the Old Testament, Survey of the New Testament, Survey of Bible Doctrines and Survey of Church History.
01:20:51: That's year one.
01:20:53: Year two, Introduction to Apologetics, Introduction to Hermeneutics, Introduction to Christian Ethics and Introduction to Church Life and Ministry.
01:21:03: That's year two.
01:21:04: Some of you have already taken some of those classes and passed them, so you're already putting that toward your two years.
01:21:10: But once you're done with your two years, you are going to get a Certificate of Basic Training for Christian Ministry.
01:21:15: It will be a different type of certificate than the ones you get for each class.
01:21:18: It'll be a final diploma-like certificate that you'll get for completing the entire two years.
01:21:23: So we now have a longer term goal that's been set.
01:21:30: And if you do this two years, it's intended to train you basic training for Christian ministry.
01:21:36: We're also going to be including some one and two-day seminar classes once or twice a year.
01:21:43: I might teach some, some of the elders here might teach some, or we may even have guest speakers come.
01:21:48: One of the ones I'm gonna do, I've already mentioned, is a course on preaching.
01:21:52: It's gonna be a one or two day.
01:21:53: I haven't decided how long I want it to be.
01:21:55: But there's gonna be some other ones as well.
01:21:57: So if you are interested in really taking this and moving forward with it, we've got a program for you.
01:22:04: Anyway, hope that's helpful.
01:22:06: God bless, have a good night.
