Myth, 112

 ~ You Need To Know The Original Languages To Understand The Bible ~

 

Myth  ~  If you can’t read and interpret Greek and Hebrew then you can’t really understand the Bible.  

 

 

Reality  ~  This is one of Satan’s common lies which he uses to discourage reading of the Holy Scriptures.  There are many excellent English (and other language) translations which are true to the original.  Our Savior before leaving earth made it clear that we can understand Scripture with the help of the Holy Spirit.  

 

 

Scripture  ~  Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.  But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:25-26). 

 

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). 

 

 

Comment  ~  This post does not intend to minimize the value of knowing the original languages – it only is intended to point out how Satan deceives.
