An Approach to Studying Aramaic
What is the value or profit of studying Aramaic? Now that we have produced a Word Study Concordance and Vertical Interlinear, why should I, as a Biblical research student, learn how to use them? I asked similar questions to these nearly 40 years ago when I first began studying the language. I have since found it a fascinating and rewarding way to study God's Word. I would like to show, with examples, for any prospective Aramaic student, an approach that he or she can use with the books which will add tremendously to his personal study of God's Word.
What is the Simple Life?
What is the simple life? It is described in Matthew 6 in the Sermon on the Mount.
Two Words for Righteousness
It is difficult to distinguish the meanings of the concepts of righteousness and justification. Justification is definitely easier to explain and understand because it has to do with a legal acquittal and being freed from blame. There is a catch phrase, “just as if I’d never sinned,” which sums up the meaning. Righteousness, however, has been much more difficult to define. This is possibly due to the fact that both words come from the same root word in Greek.
